I went back last year.
I`m doing correspondence courses.
I thought about correspondance courses but the subjects I want to do are too based on practical work to be done like that.

My birds uncle went back to uni at 30.
Hes doing a job which is more suited towards him now and I think hes 35ish.. 5 years to transition career isn't a huge loss I don't think? At least you'll come out of the degree with good experience and a degree opposed to people my age who just have a degree.

I`m 32 and it is a challenge.
You really have to want to do it.
Thirst for knowledge and such stuff.
I managed to get to where I am without it htough.
It`s more of an extra for me.
Kind of gives me the power to decide what I want to do.
All still engineering but I get to make decisions on my career rather than having them made for me.

Not too bad.
Played some tennis with my boy yesterday.
Woke up at 7 to be at work by 7:30 with a 30 minute drive to get there.
Yes, I was late.
I had 2 days off on thursday and friday so I turned off the alarm clock and well, forgot to turn it back on.
I`m still tired and slow.
I have a chicken Curry Bunny next to me for brunch which will wip me into shape fast.

Saturday I got fitted for a suit for my little sisters wedding and even though I say so myself, I look fine. DAMN FINE! The guy who did the fitting was the gayest guy on earth...... he kept on making comments about my size 13.5 feet. Then I finished off a beat, that included a harp and something called a "celesta", smoked a few vapourisers and rounded the day off with a Dominoes. All in all not a bad Saturday.

Here's to hoping that I can get a job to work my days away... Beats my current situation.
But at my old job I used to work from 11 to 9, with a two hour commute by bus, thanks to the excellently ran public transportation system they have in the fine city of provo... I got home, made some food, slept, and when the weather was nice I took my longboard to work to save a few bucks so I could eat lunch some days. Didn't work on music in the longest time I forgot the password on my computer...

Not yet, I want to get to the point where I can get a decent time on the 5k before I try anything else.

That`s a good approach.
At least you`re doing it.
