I'll soon be sending in my application to UniSIM for a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies and English. The application deadline is end Sep 07 and it is for the Jan 2008 intake. This decision came about after a conversation I had with Uncle ML as I drove him over to Uncle MW's home last week... I have been thinking of whether or not to complete my degree and where to complete it if I wanted to do so. He strongly encouraged me to complete my degree locally. Somehow, his encouragement brought about the conviction I needed... He said that being in my early thirties, I am indeed still young and he judged that with my language ability, completing a degree should be a breeze... wow! such confidence in me...
I do not doubt my language ability or critical thinking skills actually... My only fear is the lack of perseverance or stamina on my part... I just want to take it a step at a time... To my uncle who is over 70, ofcourse I am deemed young... However, I am well aware that I am a mature student juggling work and studies and that would probably be no easy task... Nevertheless, being older and hopefully slightly wiser... I might be able to manage myself better...
Meanwhile, I am pretty excited at the prospect of studying again... and a little nervous as well...
