In the beginning...everything was, well, a bit dark and blank really.
A blackness, in the midst of which the faint pulse of a new idea had begun to beat, giving life to a thought which quietly took root, growing almost imperceptibly by degrees until it gained such substance as could be ignored no longer.
By the time its presence was there to be acknowledged, action seemed inevitable and only one route seemed possible. Back to school!
Before I'd given myself time to question the plan, I'd applied.
Then the waiting.
Moments of anxiety began to punctuate the gloom:
What am I DOING?
Am I MAD?
Am I even capable....?
What CRAZED-NESS is this, to go back to studying after so long?
Then the sea-change as the tide shifted direction:
What if they won't accept my registration?
What if I can't get a student loan?
What will I do if they won't LET me study?
What misery is this...?
On the horizon, though, glimmers the gathering light of new prospects.
Positive responses brighten the landscape, throwing shafts of gleaming potential and the effusive glow of enthusiasm all around. At long last comes the tantalising dawn of the long-awaited day and my journey can begin....
