Well although I don’t have the body for it I feel like an Olympic athlete at the moment with the amount of hurdles I’m having to jump over. Since my last post things have gone wrong with my “good” eye – I can still see reasonably well and read with it but the sight is getting worse, nobody knows why and glasses can’t fix it. The consultant that I saw in Northampton wants Moorfields to see me urgently, but they can’t fit me in until the end of September. Added to this I’ve suffered from labythinritis for three weeks, which has exhausted me, and I’ve had a worrying blood test result. Well all of this has made me very tempted to give up on my dreams, there are only so many hurdles I can jump, but thanks to family and friends I’m still battling through. So six weeks today I will be starting Freshers Week at the University of Northampton with my funky new hair do. I have a range of books to read for the course before it starts. These include Harry Potter, MacBeth and 1984, approximately 12 books in total. So me and my Kindle are going to be busy. I have visions of doing the reading sitting in the garden with a glass or two of wine. In the meantime I need to buy my clothes for University. What does a “mature” part-time student wear to classes that are with full-time students?
