There’s a lot of prep work involved in this before I even get into university. My HSC (the AU tertiary prep qualification) was heavily biased toward the humanities, and honestly, so is my brain. I need to get Year 12 level qualifications in Chemistry, Maths, and Biology before I can qualify for entry into the course – and I have to get at least distinction level in those. I can do this. My dad was an engineer, so I must have at least some genetic predisposition towards logic and science. Last time I was at Uni I did English Literature, Philosophy and History, and I’m pretty intimidated by science and maths. I’m not naturally good at them (I don’t think I am, anyway) but frankly I think that would be a bad reason to let this dream go. Hard work, I’ve found, always produces results. (Lordy, that sounds didactic)
I have one year left in my veterinary nursing course and I’m going to finish that. Either I’ll find I have the time and energy to complete some of the qualifications I need for entry into uni during this year or I’ll wait till 2009. Either way is okay with me, as long as I have some kinda plan and follow it, I will get there.
