Diary of a mature student - Chapter 4

Sept 19 - The Group

Today I met with my group to discuss possible topics for our experiential project.

Colin brought me and Chris into the group and I brought Franzi and Angela. Interestingly, four out of the five of us are mature students: Colin is coming back to school after taking a break and changing his program; Franzi is a social work student from Germany; Angela has got as many credits as she can from North Island College and is coming to UVic to finish her degree.  And then, of course, there's me.  Don't know much about Chris yet ...

We're thinking of doing a project with refugees as a focus.  Colin has a contact with a refugee support group; I'm taking notes and organizing our progress (surprise, surprise).

And I used my new backpack.  Now, if only I could figure out where to put my phone so I can reach it when I need it.

Sept 22 - I am so pumped!

Got my first assignment back this morning.  Not only did I get a tick mark (which means I passed), but I also got a Good (which means I did better than just a pass).  Whoohoo!



And, I realized today that I actually no longer have to think about how to get from the classroom to the bus stop across campus.

And, pockets are the answer to the phone.

I am a student!
