Some Thoughts for the Day.

Realised today that I haven't posted here since the 14th of September....that's a bit slack. I look at lots of other Blogs and they have really nice photos in them and I sort of put off posting thinking that I too would add some photos with my posts. Then I thought why do I have to have photos with my posts....oh sure, they are nice, but you don't have to have photos. Depends what you are writing about I guess. If I think of any photos I can add to this post I'll put them in while I go along.

My main computer is in getting looked at right now and because I'm using my lap top I don't have access to the photos at the moment.

I do love this whole blogging thing however, and am thoroughly enjoying looking at all the other blogs out there and learning about other people and their lives. Actually you have to wonder who actually ends up seeing your blog.....it's a small world via the World Wide Web.

I'm still studying and enjoying it. Sometimes it's a bit overwhelming, but most of the time I do okay. I'm enjoying stretching my mind in learning new things. I keep on hearing that using your mind - actually 'exercising your mind' is the term that tends to be bandied about - is a good thing and staves off things like Alzheimers or Dementia.......I say good and think I'll keep studying till I leave this earth....and if the theory is right I shouldn't have Alzheimers or Dementia. Can you hear the cheer.....YAY!!! mmmm...wonder if it actually works???

BACK TO STUDY

I'm going back to finish my degree. Have been thinking about it for ages, but .....well let's just say that I have been procrastinating. I have been looking at doing it through Open University Australia and yesterday I took the plunge.

I decided if I didn't do it then and there I was never going to do it. I was talking to a friend the other night and she was doing some work on an assignment from her foundation studies course at Uni - I was sitting with her, helping her to work with the assignment and suddenly I realised that I really wanted to go back and do my degree. I was enjoying helping her and was enjoying the idea of exercising my mind again. One thing this friend said to me was "you just have to start somewhere, if you start somewhere you'll eventually get where you are going." ...you know what she is so right.

So here I am back on the Uni scene. I am not going to worry about whether I can get there or not and I am not going to worry about how I'll go, but I am going to start and work at what I will be doing.

I have enrolled but now I just have to wait for all the information and bookwork to come in....all the do's and don'ts and all the stuff I need to know so that I do all the right things.

I look forward to it all with excited anticipation. Will keep you updated on my progress through this journey.

There are so many things I would like to do in my life, but I'm not sure I'll ever get around to all of them.
