It's offical I will be a student!

Got the letter through the door on Monday saying I was receiving full bursary (which I didn't think I was going to get and was planning for the worst) so I was really chuffed and so was Hubby as he knows I'm dying to do it!!!! ooooooooooo so excited! Have my induction date on the 24th of this month

Woohoo!!!

What are you studying Leanne?

I'm starting at Durham in September to do a degree in Counselling.

Really exciting

I'm going back to college to Beauty Therapy I did Vet Nursing when I was 17 hence why I didn't think I would get my bursary but I did! I was bouncing about the living room when I found out

It is really exciting isn't it? I can't believe I'm going back to college at 24 lol

I'm 29

I did a music degree at Durham when I was 18 but have never really done anything with it. I've been studying to be a counsellor now for over a year. Done all my NVQs and now starting Uni.

People look at me funny when I say I'm a student so now I say I'm a trainee counsellor.

ha ha ha! My tutor put me at ease at my interview as I wasin with two 16 years old, she said you have life experience so wont find it hard to speak to the clients or models whereas alot of the younger ones struggle

Yeah, I've found that in hairdressers especially. When young girls are doing the hair washing, they sometimes seem really shy.

I was the second youngest in my class at college. Mostly people start to train to be a counsellor when they are older.

still uber excited ha ha ha

Well done, it's great when you get news like that

I was so excited when I got the financial assistance to pay for my courses. Just waiting on the course material now

I'm a "mature" student - I'm 24 and I'm going into my 2nd year of my degree this Sept !

Well done you! xx

Yay! Well Done I'm so pleased for you x
