Uni for me!!

So yesterday i left the kids at a friends house for a couple of hours..Which was great as she's the Mum of Miles' little friend, a huge 5 acre plot with a huge house on it, great to run around for the kids, great fun.. except that as well as Miles'little friend (a boy) she also has 2 older boys - so a house full of boy toys.. total nivarna for Miles, he was on cloud 9.. but for Greta - who is a rather girly girl anyway, and refuses to touch her brothers toys and only plays with dolls and dolls houses.. she was a little unhappy lets say! i really should have just taken her dolls house but never thought - usually when they go to another friends house, she has 2 girls, so totally ideal for Greta, and Miles is fine to as he's happy to play shops or something like that - so anyway, Greta ended up following the Mummy around helping with household chores lol, so cute..

So anyway, this was all because i had an interview for uni... to cut a VERY long interview process short ..i had a great long chat about my options and it was great, but went on a bit. Anyway i am really torn between Social Science (i.e social work) or Radiography... the social science thing i can just do a diploma in and get to work in 2 or 3 yrs .. so idea as im not getting any younger shall we say! the other option is the Radiology course which is a 4 yr uni course, so fine, but i would have to study for 2 yrs to get into uni in the first place! Uni of Sydney so it has an entry level of 93 % YIKES!! 
Now the 2 yrs i would have to do to even get in there is a full time course - no good with 2 kids to look after.  But i can do that slowly over 5 yrs, so thats great and i can even do the social science thing along side it so in 3 yrs i am a fully qualified social worker - with an option to go on and do a degree in that too if i want - also i will be 3 yrs into the course to go to uni to do radiographyy if i so chose that option!

Lots to think about, but while the kids are young im pretty convinced that im going to start on the 5 yr road to the uni degree.. study Biology, maths, Physics and 2 others subjects yet to be decided.. that gets me on the road to Radiograhy - and then in a year or 2 - when the kids are older and start pre-shcool and school, i can start the social science diplopa thats 3 yrs.

So all very exciting, to start in Feb next yr - a couple hours a week on campus and then homework too of course.

Anyway, thats my news, got the cleaners coming this morning to best get on and also Playgroup too.
