I HAS A HUGE HAPPEH

[jessybxx]

So, like I said, I'm crazy enough to try a third time.
University of Duisburg and Essen, here I come. Yet again *lol*

Alright, so. Details. A lot of them, too. Enjoy... or not XP
The thing is, until today, I firmly believed that my a-level grade average (2.9, with 1 being the best and 6 the worst possible grade) is too bad to get into any course that's not economy, mathematics or natural science. Basically, I was absolutely sure that fun things such as English, German or Philosophy were a no-go.
Well, apparently, I was wrong.
I don't really know why (Maybe because of the new study fees?), but several of the interesting courses don't have any appliciation restrictions at all.
Among them Anglophone Studies and Applied Philosophy.
Sweet Zombie Jesus... *gasp*
Needless to say, that's gonna be my first subject (FYI, I'll need to chosse two).
I'll also apply for German (the full name of the course is "German Language, Literature, Culture and Communication"... wow, what a ginormous title... *pants*") but last time, the passing threshold grade was 2.4, so I don't expect to get in there. Still, I'll be able to study English without a doubt... Gonna show 'em kiddies what an old hag like me can pull off *beams*

Unfortunately, they won't let you start studying in the spring semester, but I guess that leaves me enough time to work and collect a bit of money. The whole deal will cost me 1000 Euros per year after all ;)
I already asked yamasagi to kick his dad's ass so I can maybe get a small job in their company, like designing websites or something. Heck, just a few hundred Euros will be more than enough to buy books (and cafeteria food :D~~~).

And hey, I'm not too old to start over. Other people have done that and succeeded, so why shouldn't I? ^_^

Gosh, the mere thought of going back there is almost too awesome to be true... Needless to say, that's my happy thing for today :D

ETA: Hehe, the Anglistics department's web site introduction is titled "Mission statement". I think I already love them. Dorks XDDD

Yay for you! I'm so happy with you, this is really great news. I'm sure it will work out great, especially studying things you enjoy.

Hell yeah!
The computer science stuff was the wrong subject for me, what with all its mathematics 'n' stuff. But English? I can SO do that ^_^

You're never, ever too old! Starting to study again is a GREAT thing, especially stuff that probably won't frustrate you like math! Happiness!

Then we old grannys probably could go to Uni together... at least in mind =DDD with our canes and our grey hair.... and still rock tha house... =D

It's NEVER too late... NEVER....

You can do this... you just have to believe in yourself... there are really dumb people studying something and you're not dumb AT ALL... you just have to find the right subject for you... and when you found it it's AWESOME!!

Yeah, it's never too late, I've even read about ppl over 80 to have studied in a university. :D
Besides that, we have a proverb here in Finland that says "Third time tells the truth" ;)

That's true. We once had an old lady (about 70 I think) in one of our English classes. And she was really smart!

I like that one ^^
