    and no.. I am NOT looking forward to it I am crapping bricks of every colour imaginable!! I need someone to come and hold my hand I think lol.. sad as I am . I've not had a definite start date through yet which I am unhappy about.. why are they taking so long? I need to know exactly what I am doing and when at least 2 months in advance!

    You will be fine! It is quite scary to start with but give it a week and once you know your way about etc you'll wonder why you were so worried:p Cant wait to go back, i'm back on monday. My flying will be minimal once i start i think, my timetable is horrendous:eek:

    I know you don't 'do' hugs so have a supportive pat on the back.
    There will be a timetable for the new intake, but it is designed for school leavers who do not have responsibilities and can seem very vague.
    However with the number of mature students growing they do need to cater for them. Can you find out if the University or Student Union has a 'welfare' section?
    They should have someone responsible for supporting students who don't fall in to the traditional mold.
    You will be fine! It is quite scary to start with but give it a week and once you know your way about etc you'll wonder why you were so worried:p
    Wot she said.
    I hate going in to strange/new environments. OK once I know my way round.

    Very grey and windy here this morning. I am out briefly (decided to experiment with getting my eyebrows tinted) then butt will be applied to chair and studying will be done.
