ready and rearing!

well i survived my week away.
the other ppl i went with are easy going. so there was no hiccups.
i spent a week of information overload. it was an orientation/introduction into the course.
we learnt all about essay writing, nursing and the law, maths, and computing skills as the course is via distant education. im really impressed at the sites available. there are so many resources available. i thank my lucky stars that i have had my pc for over 2yrs and have developed computing skills. Otherwise i think i would be up shit creek without a paddle!
now it will be heads down, bums up. however, i work at my own pace. as long as i dont procrastionate and work like a snail.
so if i take a while to do an entry, you will know that i will be concentrating on my studies....
have a great week all. xo

Its close to heads down bums up!

Its getting ever so close now until i hit the books and start assignments!
Next week (monday), off i go on an approximate 10hr drive to university in NSW.
Im really excited about it and cant wait to start learning. It might sound crazy, but this is my career path that I WANT to follow and to do the best that i can.
Im going up for an orientation week/introduction into the course. Then its basically work at my own pace from home. Three of us are going up together. There's only one problem...... I dont know the other 2 people that im going to be driving up there with, and staying with for the 5 days that im away.
I have spoken to the male participant a few times via telephone. He sounds easy going. And i dont even know the other girl thats coming with us. So im feeling a little uncomfortable.Wouldnt you?
Im thinking the worst possible scenario. That is; What if we dont get along? Then im stuck with 2 people staying together and no where to escape! Then it could be the other end of the scale. We might all become really great friends. God I hope there's no hiccups.
Im just going to have to go with the flow and think positive. I will soon find out!
Other than that, thats all thats happening in my life at the present time.

So my friends, look out for my next post being "The trip from hell," or, "A pleasant begining."
