ScienceGeek Report post Posted September 3, 2009 Seeing as there is a back to school thread I wanted to start a back to uni/college one for the adults on here I am very much looking forward to getting back to uni, I'm going out of my mind with boredom right now. Only 2.5 weeks to go until freshers week at my uni! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jon79 Report post Posted September 3, 2009 i hate going back after even a short break to anything, such axiexty ans stress. Much better to work study permantley for ever with no break but just shorter hours for a week if need a rest... have a break takes 3 months to get eqilberium and mind in gear so are not crippled functioning from the induced aniexty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sa Skimrande Report post Posted September 4, 2009 (edited) I can't wait to go back to college either, although there will be a few hurdles in the way before I get there. The hurdles consist of, can I go back to college, will they have me back, seeing as I messed up last year, blew a fuse and went off into a world of my own, simply because I could not understand what was wanted of me. I also seemed to have formed a dislike and distrust of my course head and spent much of last year, ducking out of her way. My colleagues thought it funny I would disappear when she turned up, often it was the case she asked where I was only to be told, he was here, but seems to have gone. I of course now realise that was childish behaviour, but with an avoidant personality, I avoided her because she causes me too much stress, says one thing, I do it, and get asked why did I do that, my answer, because you effing told me, to which she replies I said no such thing, arrrgh. But now armed with a diagnosis of aspergers, maybe I will get it right this year, and maybe the dragon will back off. I am however in the process of gearing up for college, I have sought out an old leather filofax and am in the process of working out a system to help me keep on top of things, dates, times and such, as it is my history, I get dates and times mixed up or forget them all together. The expensive filofax, because where there is expense, I am more likely to look after the thing, and not lose it or forget it, as I am putting a lot of faith in this thing. I have had academic diaries, but I have always put them down somewhere and forgot about them, too many I have lost. The filofax, is attached by string to my college bag, so I will be hard pushed to lose that, ( and for your amusement, my thumb drive is attached by string to the filofax) Edited September 4, 2009 by Sa Skimrande Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mariag Report post Posted September 4, 2009 Hi all, my husband and i are starting a uni course next week. I am very nervous about it, its a distant learning course about Asd run from birmingham. While i am excited its also very daunting as the last time i did anything like this was at college 14 years ago...! I know someone on this forum is doing this course too but i cant remember who, does anyone know who it is, i have some questions on work load, anyway my husband and i are aiming to change our work and at the same time really understand our children, hope your courses go well this year. Maria :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kathryn Report post Posted September 4, 2009 Good luck with the course, Maria. I don't know who else is doing it here but if you start a new topic and ask the question in the title, maybe the person will come forward. K x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then again I haven't actually asked about the timetable yet, I probably should. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
