becky Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Hi all, just thought i'd inform you of my latest triumph, i have managed to enrol on a mature students certificate at Bradford College, i am studying Psychology, Sociology, English Literature, History and I.T. I am so excited, i had my first class yesterday and it was really really good. I'm so tired though. It's four full days and i think i may struggle a bit - i have an appointment tomorrow to see the disability advisor so that i can see if i can get travel help and what help i can get with learning. I am coming off my medication at the moment so i'm feeling the withdrawl effects but hopefully i'll start feeling better soon. Any tips on how to stay awake thru lectures would be appreciated!!bebs x x x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Hooray hooray HOORAY! Go you! 4 full days is well scary- I couldn't manage that now, but I know that where there's a will there's a way for you- I'm so inspired! I suggest coffee and irn-bru for keeping awake. Didn't ALWAYS help me last year, but often a saving grace! Meant to reply to your phone message but got consumed and spat out by my own bloody thesis and the aftermath of it! WIll catch up properly soonX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukkychrm42 Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 That is way cool, Becky! I hope you enjoy getting back into the groove of school!!! Good luck with everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenwclark Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Wow! That sounds like a lot. When I ventured back to college, I started with just one class. My hat is off to you, and I wish you the best of luck. School + POTS can be really rough sometimes, but it's totally worth it when you come out the other end with that wonderful degree.spike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becky Posted November 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 Thanks eveyone, it is hard work but i know it will be worth it. i can get some helpfrom the college because of having pots, but when i spoke to the disability advisor at college they said that i might have to have a wheelchair for goin around college in which seems a bit over the top considering i can walk perfectly well (at the moment!) but health and safety is a priority! Anyone who has any tips on help i should ask for and what i may need to stay at college i would be very grateful.thanks bebs x x x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
