Things that please you

at the ripe old age of 36 if finally stopped copping out and bitten the bullet - im going back to study (while still working full time) (and bringing up two infants)

Bachelor of communicatrion -media studies

will probably end in tears but until that moment i gotta say im pretty excited!

any advice on how to study most welcomed.... things have probably changed since i used an inkwell & quill

How old are the infants? It could be the best time to be studying.

I'm preparing for my PMP certification and the 3 & 6 year olds have the expectation of playing if i am not at work or doing house work. Only chance i get is if they are in bed or out of the house.

mine are 2 and 4, and pretty full on!

I guess the issue is when i get home from work my missus just dumps them at me, cause she thinks her shift is over, so i do the double shift! but enough of houshold politics

I figure ill use my 5am train journey to work every day to do a bit, and nights when they are in bed.

Ill start with the minimum 2 units and see how times goes, if its pretty easy ill crank it up. I suppose it would be easier if they were school age but you cant fight inspiration, it hit me and i have to grab it now, if i dont ill just fall back into my lazy rut

Google Scholar was a godsend last time I was at uni. Things sure have come a long way since having to actually make a trip to campus just to get books/journals and attend lectures/tutorials.

My sisters work paid for her studies. You pay per subject

There can be a lot of strings attached to those deals. Great if everything lines up though.

 

[Howard Moon]

i hear the government will pay the fees of any study you do that is one level above any previous level you have attained.

ie if you have done a cert 3 they will pay for your cert 4,

it seems smart to quickly knock out a cert 4 at work if this is the case to go on and get a free dimploma

[Howard Moon]

My wife got the tickets.

Lucky bugger!, Jim would get 5 mins in to the a$&l sex part and she'd be out the door...

I guess it's not a bad thing

It will be interesting to see how his stand up differs from Legit which is where we know him from.

 

[Howard Moon]

I knew his stand up before legit, he's pretty raw, all c bombs and no graces

 

[Howard Moon]

But still smart humour

 

[Beerfish]

Wifey might be in for a shock then. She likes to hate on the c bomb.

 

[Howard Moon]

Just prepare her!, or dabble in a quick you tube trial

 

[Beerfish]

Nah I reckon she'll be okay and if she isn't it'll be all the more hilarious.

I don't want to see any of his stand up though because there's nothing worse than going to see a comedian doing the same material you've already seen which has happened a few times.. Dave Hughes, Tim Minchin, Stephen K. Amos just off the top of my head.

 

[Howard Moon]

He's doing a lot of kid stuff now, bout his little boy, used to be straight drugs, misogyny and atheisim! progressing

Oh great..

I hate comedians whose whole act is "I am gay" or "I hate men" or "I have kids".

I'm seeing Billy Connolly for what I imagine will be the last time he tours. Really looking forward to it.

I was umming and ahing about getting tickets for that. Didn't in the end but I daresay you're right about it being the last opportunity to see him here. Good job.
