The first few days at uni seem to be ok, I haven't had a total heart attack yet, which is quite surprising considering how nervous I have been feeling about going in.

I didn't actually make it to the first day, which was the induction because believe it or not the school phoned me to collect my daughter, as she has hurt herself during a sports lesson. I couldn't believe it, on the day when I'm supposed to go in, I'm not wishing any thing bad on my children, but they have just had 6 weeks off and she has been totally fine. it seemed like it was some sort of omen preventing me from reaching my goals on the first day!! my daughter was fine, just a badly sprained wrist I found out after spending several hours in casualty!! so how did my first day of uni go - I have no idea I was not there, lol

The timetable we have been given seems to be ok, I'm only in 4 days a week and the times I am in are not full days, so I can hopefully do a majority of my studying after the lectures and seminars in the library and still spend quality time with my children, as that was my main worry, will I be able to find time to study while raising three children?

I don't know what the correct word is to describe how I'm feeling, but I feel good that i have taken steps to better myself and I'm looking forward to getting to knew my fellow students, i feel comfortable at the uni as there are quite a few mature students there, so i do not feel totally out of place but then i also feel very nervous, am i actually capable of reaching my goals,

we had our first lecture this week and i was almost sick with nerves, thinking about a million and one things, suppose i fart during the lecture? did any one else hear my stomach rumble? what if when i go to the toilet i leave the tissue hanging out? suppose the tutor asked my opinion on something and my mind goes blank in front of 250 people? suppose I go to answer a question and i burp?

the reading list is so long i think I'm going to go blind by the end of the first semester, and the cost of the books are steep as I'm sure you already know if you are attending uni

I got so excited when my children went back to school, I forgot to make a post, lol although they would never admit it, I think they missed school as well, a chance to catch up with their friends and make new ones.

my daughter started secondary school, omg I feel so old, she still looks too small to be going to secondary school, i made her pose for so many pictures of her in her new uniform. I think the novelty has already worn off though, as she was complaining about the homework,lol and she has been so tired, lol.

just a few days left now until i start uni, ive been trying not to get myself in a panic, I think I will need to go out and stock up on some rescue remedy so I can make it through the first few days

just a few weeks to go and im already feeling nervous, am i doing the right thing, will i be able to cope with raising a family and going back to university, Hell yeah, if i can go through labour more than once, then surely i should be able to cope with a universiry course - as you can tell im in one of my "i can do anything moods", of course i know it is not going to be that easy, afterall ive tried before and not been able to continue with my studies, so here i go again.

i am aimimg to pimp out my blog, lol, so if you find yourself needing any of the items in the near future add my blog to your favourites providing a quick link to the stores, and help a fellow student make a few extra pennies
