After tearing open my exceedingly heavy textbook package last week I've spent every spare moment since reading through 'Reputations'.
Being from a traditional working class background I never really had the chance to go to university and thirty years later I can't believe how excited I am about the prospect of formal learning once more, this time not because I need it for a job but because I genuinely want to broaden my mind.
I'm lucky to have a job which I enjoy tremendously and an employer who seems as excited about me returning to study as I am - he's already told me he wants an update each week!
So, as I continue to read I keep refreshing on the link to access to module website in the hope that it will appear before the stipulated date.
It feels like being a child on Christmas Eve wishing for the morning to arrive.
It's the first time I've felt like that in some time.
