Exciting matters.

Today in the mail I received an envelope with the blue, white and gold coat of arms in the right hand corner. Realizing what this envelope had packaged for me, I ripped it open and tore out the letter that was inside.

"OFFER OF A PLACE IN THE 2008 FOUNDATION COURSE"

So without further ado, I am pleased to announce this year (and hopefully beyond years) I am a student at Flinders University. I sound so silly making all this fuss, but I don't think anyone could really understand how important and exciting this is for me. Exactly two years ago I was year twelve full of hopes and dreams, six months later and it seemed all those hopes and dreams had been wiped clear when I suddenly opted out from school. I recall glancing at one of the Uni Adelaide buildings and thinking to myself that I could never be at such a place. A year and a half later I am now an accepted student at Flinders. As long as I put in the effort, I know I can achieve anything.

The Foundation Course may not be as intense or exciting as any degree, but I know it's a start and it will definitely assist me in my future years of studying a degree. It's no full time course, runs March till September and each topic only runs about once or twice during the week. Most of it, until July, will be studied online because I live about an hour and a half away from the campus (by bus) and all topics will be held at night (fun fun). So if you are studying, or have studied, online... then advice will be greatly appreciated. I may also appreciate encouragement as motivation is not one of my strengths.

As for 2009 and beyond, I don't really know what I want to be studying at Flinders, but hopefully the FC will assist me in direction also.

I don't officially start until mid-March, which will give me some good time to continue my (it seems) endless job hunting, catching up with friends, watching dvds (Scrubs is a favorable) and other things to do before I start study (perhaps then I should make a list).
