Good luck with that nowadays), I figured I&#8217;d write a quick blog.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday morning I had the proper course introduction for my next year.  It seems really interesting, pretty involved and potentially damned hard &#8211; but that&#8217;s better than it being easy!  The group on the course are of various ages, and although everyone was pretty quiet at first they seem like a good bunch.  Should be a fun year, I think.<\/p>\n<p>But you know what?  <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve no idea what the next two years are gonna be like.  Right now is a strange kinda limbo.  <\/p>\n<p>I still don&#8217;t know what it&#8217;s going to feel like when it actually gets going.  I don&#8217;t know how much free time I&#8217;ll have, how much studying outside the college hours I&#8217;ll need to do, whether I&#8217;ll integrate with the other folks, how much I&#8217;ll enjoy it or get out of it&#8230; it&#8217;s all a huge amount of unknowns.  <\/p>\n<p>Of course, it&#8217;s likely it&#8217;ll be very positive (and when I stop to think about it in detail I realise that), but I&#8217;m wired to be a negative bugger (<i>Wow, I&#8217;d never noticed&#8230; &#8211; Squage<\/i>) so I&#8217;m a little apprehensive: if you know me well, you&#8217;ll be aware that I don&#8217;t particularly like unknowns.<\/p>\n<p>After 6 months of waiting, I&#8217;m now ready to start.<\/p>\n<p>Bring on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Toodles,<\/p>\n<p>Pat<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello!
