I sold my soul to the DPI...
So, as a result of my joblessness and the fact that unfortunately if anything life is generally costing me more at the moment, I have been forced to 'sell my soul to the DPI' in order to survive. Funnily enough I actually really enjoy it. I never wanted a 'desk job', and those funny career assessment people told me that I should never do any sort of clerical work, and yet here I am, being not only a call centre person, but being promoted to the organisational/planning side of the operation. Pretty cool. I also get meals for free, double time on sundays and I earn pretty much more in one sunday than I do in a week as a groom. On the other hand it's 12 hour days (which I was doing before but without the extra 3 hours of driving per day), with 7 days on 2 off... Admittedly, it's not something I can see myself doing for the rest of my life, but the people are just great and it has helped me make a decision I've been battling with for a while.
I've decided to go to uni.
I've decided I am smart enough to get into the course I've always wanted to do, and i've decided I can cope with the job on the other side of the course.
Any guesses which course?
Need to do a year of something else before I can be considered, then will apply to all unis offering the course and see what happens. Talked to Sydney and apparently all I have to do is get a distinction in this other course and they'll consider me. Not much at all really! What's a distinction? 90% or something? hahaha too easy! Well I live in hope!
Typically I'm not actually doing the pre-course course until 2009 cause I have some other stuff I have to do next year... Not that I like to plan things early or anything! Which means that if I got in straight away after just one year in that course I would graduate from uni in.... 2015 depending on the uni... hmmm
Interesting thought though (and it's a good thing I have a year to work out this side of it) I somehow have to get a job to pay for me and my horse while I'm at uni, and still have time to ride my horse, study and sleep (probably in that order too) any suggestions?
