It's difficult to remember to keep the blog updated, particularly when you feel that no one's really interested in reading it.

Life as a mature student is a different experience than it is for the usual age group. Well, certainly as a married, mature student it is. The social life associated with college life is pretty much non-existant, and even if I were free and single, there're very few of my age group to flirt with! I'm even older than the majority of lecturers.

But, having said all that, sure that's not why I came to college in the first place. I came here to learn about psychology, and that's what I really am enjoying. The group work is easier than I thought. I was afraid I'd want to 'mammy' the others, or that they'd expect me to, but that hasn't been the case at all. I am used to interacting with this age group anyway as my own daughters are 19 and 21, and both are in college too, so I had some idea of what to expect when I began.
