Complete an Access course to enable me to go to university

Well things have changed somewhat since I last wrote an entry on here. My boyfriend and I have decided not to move in together just yet which we’re both happy about, but I still wanted to do my Access course so I had to find one that I could attend in the evenings whilst I worked. I went in a couple of days ago to do the assessments and have an interview and they offered me a place! I enrolled there and then and I start on 8th September. It’s going to be really hard work as I will be working full time but i’m determined to get through it. I can’t wait to start now!!

The first one I really didn’t like. I didn’t like the atmosphere, the people weren’t very friendly and it was a really badly organised day – we were hanging about for hours!

The second one I LOVED! Which is good because it is closer to where I will be living. The college itself was lovely and the people were really friendly. I just got an all round good vibe. I only did the assessments that day though, I have to go back near the end of July to have an interview with the tutor so fingers crossed!

I got an email today from the college which will be closer to my home with dates and times for an interview and assessment so I have emailed back confirmation. Yay it’s all happening!

I received a letter yesterday from one of the colleges confirming an interview date and time. I’m quite excited now as it actually feels like i’ve got the ball rolling. This was the original college I first saw the course in, there is one closer to home that I discovered did the course which would obviously be better for me, so I just have to wait to hear from them too. If offered I think i’ll attend them all just to see the colleges and meet the tutors so I can get a better feel for them and which one would be best for me.

I have applied to 3 colleges to do a science pathway Access course that incorporates nutrition to enable me to apply to university to study a nutrition degree. I just have to wait to hear back from them now in regards to attending an interview etc. Can’t wait!
