I'm a Uni Student!
Ha! Take that stupid STAT.
Thought you could stop me did you?
You were WRONG.
What am I babbling about you might ask ?
Well, I applied earlier this year, to be a uni student. I really wanted to do this Criminology course. So I did what I was supposed to do. I filled in a QTAC application, and I sat the STAT. 3 weeks later I get the results of the STAT that say I was too dumb to go to uni apparently.
Down and dejected I got. Until I was bitching about it online one day, and someone said 'Oh, me, I studied uni via correspondance." Well, did that give me an idea. I searched it online, cause I knew I'd seen it somewhere that I could study online. But what courses were available?
Off I trotted to the Open Universities Australia site to check it out. Turns out, that I can not only study the BA of Criminology and Criminal Justice, but i can do it via correspondance, WITH feehelp. All I need to pay upfront, are the textbooks. I even get to do a cross major, as part of the course. So, we'll see what's available when they upload next years schedules on the 25th of Nov :)
Did I enrol? You bet your boots I did. First off, I have to do a unit that's all about studying at university level, so I'm doing that as of Monday 27th of November, and then March next year, I'll hit the Criminology classes with a vengeance. :)
So, here I am awaiting my studypack. I've got 2/3rds of the textbooks already.
Mum's sitting across from me, rocking Lachlan to sleep. As soon as he realised nana was here, he wanted her to rock him to sleep. Stress off my back :) My brother Robert's due to visit us sometime after ten am today. And we're gonna head up to the shops, and have a good ol family lunch :)
Will be good.
And now, I'm off to harrass users again. :)

Congratulations! Hope the uni course goes well and nothing gets in the way of completing it :)
