Well almost four years in and I’m still not sure what I think about my mid life decision to do Uni by Distance. On the one hand I love the flexibility and being able to fit it in around my real life… but on the other hand I find myself wondering if I have some kind of death wish….(and enjoy running the gauntlet).
As a 50Something, I made the decision to jump into the books. Having lost my voice I had rediscovered my love of the written word, so I thought it would be fun to write …ESSAYS !! …. LOL ..What was I thinking ?
Anyway, as a student I make a great full time worker.
My dedication to the task of study is haphazard to say the least…yet in a weird way I am really enjoying it (a crazy thing to say after doing the longest exam in history today). I have spent the last 6 hours sitting at the kitchen table in my PJ’s, making up 3000 words on topics related to law and human rights… punctuated by hanging the washing on the line and taking regular coffee breaks… exams were never like this ‘back in my day‘.
With any luck, only 18months to go … I’ll still be 50 Something and then I might decide what I want to do when I grow up!
Wonder Years 
You can do it Lou . your brilliant! However I do know how you feel but the last part goes quickly
awwe thanks .. feeling better about it today 😉
Hahaha, you a woman after my own heart. My sincere advice? Go forward full throttle, re-energize and re-launch. It is the wisdom of your age. You may be most amused at what I have to say in my blog and my recent book, A Wisdom for Every Age. You still have 30 – 40 years ahead of you and who is to say they can’t be your better years?
thanks infoageit… back on track and ready…rearing for anything. I look forward to reading your gems of wisdom
