I am a student again!

Now I have actually enrolled on my course it feels both exciting but also scary. How on earth am I going to fit all the study and reading into my already busy life? I must say though it feels thrilling to be back in a university as a student.

Today was quite a student like day too, well apart from the fact that I dropped my son as usual to 'walk to school' with his friends (this involves in taking him round to another teen's house so they can walk together, the poor lad might get worn out if he had to walk the whole way). After that though I had a couple of hours to sit around the house and surf the internet etc. Mind you I did spend about half an hour with my manager hat on sorting out work things, but that didn't cause me much in the way of problems. Then I went off to do a few bill paying chores and to order a new contact lens (another one split). Then it was off to Harrow, a place I have never been to but which I found pretty easily. This was no thanks to the directions one of my work colleagues found me on google (I am able to do this kind of thing, but he was being helpful), which were completely wrong.

There are currently 6 people on the course but another 4 who work in the university itself are joining for the next block or 'learning burst' in November. Half of the people so far are from within the NHS and the others from outside, one guy has come over from St Lucia for the course! Part of our work this afternoon has been to walk round in a group of 3 and take photos which demonstrate what is going on around the university. The place itself feels spacious and modern and on the face of it there is plenty of parking which is a novelty in itself.

From our classroom today I could see the new Wembley Stadium which is currently being rebuilt and should be ready for the FA cup final next May. In the distance you could see into central London. So I am enrolled on the course, I have my university ID card and tomorrow we get some induction into the library so there will be no excuse but to load myself up with reading material for the coming month; I can hardly wait.
