University
Well, I've had this thought in the back of my mind for a while now that I might one day return to University, probably just part time or external. I've always felt somehow that I wasn't living up to my potential with the fact that I've never completed anything at Uni. What gets me though is that I've also always felt let down by University.
I went there expecting to learn some interesting stuff, and instead it was force fed regurgitation of information. IT was great to work with, but damn it sucked to learn. So after getting kicked out of Uni I always thought about going back to do something other than IT. I was thinking Psychology would be great, as my ex did a course in it, and it was really enlightening looking through the material she brought home. But then I'm left with this feeling that I would never want to work with a Pschology degree. It would be nice to know, but the job prospects were never terribly interesting to me. I looked at Industrial Psych at one stage, and that almost got me enthused enough to go back to Uni. But in the end, I'm still left feeling wanting, like it's not going to be worth it. Lots of time and effort and money and the end result is for something I'm at most ambivilent about...

So, I guess it's goodbye Uni for me. A chapter of my life I am really officially closing. I wish it could have been what I had hoped, and I wish I could thus have been what I had hoped, but it's not to be...
