No, you havent made a mistake hun, you've probably just opened the door to a whole new you, life chance and opportunity to achieve something you really want :thumbup:
go get stuck in gal, full report when you get in please :thumbup:
I went back to college when I was 35 and had a great time. Good luck to you!

Went back when I was 40. Once I'd got into the groove it was easy. Some of the kids struggled to get the work done but the mature studentas had a better work ethic.
You'll breeze through your course, I'm sure. So no worries
Good for you hunni ! My first hubby has just finished his nursing degree and he's 42!
I'm sure you'll be fine and let us know how it's going. Good luck ! :thumbup:

I can't remember for sure how old I was when I went to college, I think I was 31. I didn't have a GSCE to my name at the time rolleyes
I took a couple of GCSE's and an AS, I'm now part time at Uni but no idea how I ended up taking a degree :lol2:
Good luck Lou although I really doubt you'll need it. I'm sure you will do well :thumbup:
I was 30 when I first went back- had the best time imaginable and since then my life has changed enormously as a result of the fantastic people I met there.
I was initially the class "swot" (boffin, knob 'ed etc) - earning myself the nickname "Hermionie". By the end of a term when they'd all realised I was a nutter it became
"Hermionie Danger".
Just starting a new course next week at the ripe old age of 33, in a field people think im nuts to be going into- but hell, why not!
Good luck & report back!
I went to university when I was over 40, and studied four years for a degree. You'd be surprised how many older mature students there are these days. "Lifeling learning" seems to be a buzzword (oh alright, two words lol ) these days, and is actively encouraged. I'm sure you'll be fine.
Well done Lou for having the courage and conviction to go "back to school" :thumbup:
It can be very daunting going back into education after having settled down with a family but I bet you won't regret it for a minute! You will gain new friends, new qualifications and most importantly a fantastic sense of achievement biggrin
Best of luck with it hun kiss

thanks everyone... god it does feel like going back to school. going to get my fluffy pencil case and pens today. apart from still feeling a bit sick getting excited now.

I was an over age student, never matured though. I finished in my late thirties. At 29 you'll be fine. smile
Mind you the background ambience of sex will drive you loopy. cool
Never too old to learn..... and 29 is no age to roll over and give up. Good on you for trying shows as much if not more than what you may learn anyway!
Mike
just wanted to say i've finally started back to college and i bluddy hate it!!! even though i'm not going to give up am determined to see it through. unfortunatly i did'nt realise i would be with a mainly younger set so feel really old and i never realised i was so thick lol compared to all the others but hey im hanging in there.
lou xx
Oh god....they probably think you're all sorted and tell their friends there's a really
intelligent woman doing the course who has loads of life experience and knows loads and they feel stupid...etc etc etc!!
Stick with it....it'll be worth it and you've got support from those you love!!
Good luck.
