Talking I've finally did it!

Hey Everyone.

I've finally decided to go back to TAFE and study....yes I'm doing a retail/pharmacy assistant's course for 10 weeks full time....and the last week is on the job training which should be a test for my social skills...LOL but I'm very happy with this and I've actually filled out the form and sent off the application today in the mail.

There are 23 modules I have to complete and I have faith that I'll pass those with flying colours but I'm also prepared to experience difficulties as I'm more of an auditory learner and I learn best when things are explained to me verbally.

This also means that I'll be well on my way to getting a job with fairly decent pay and that also means that I can start to save $$$ for my overseas travels...so yeah friends I might drop in and see some of you...if you want me to...LOL

I'll keep you all posted on everything although I won't have as much time to be on forums...but I'll still be around

Selena

That's awesome work Crazygirl. I just got into a pharmacology course at uni so we'll be doing kind of similar things.

You'll be making the $$$ much sooner than me an overseas trip sounds very tempting at the moment

Good for you Selena! My neice did a similar course, and was up and running in no time. Check in from time to time and let us know how it's going. I'm excited for you!

Can you take a recorder of some type in the classes so you can listen to the voice notes later?

Thanks everyone!

Frazzle: I don't think the teacher would have an issue with me taking a note recorder..I even disclosed on my application form that I have ADHD and I see no problem with that, I'm sure I'm not the only ADDer doing this course!
