August Already
Weekend over, where did that go? A new week, a new start. Abs aching from yoga, back aching from ironing, eyes tired from a restless night and strange dreams, but optimistic going forward, deep breaths. It was a tough week last week.
Flying to Baku later, issues with a project, but also potential for further opportunities. Expecting finalisation of the three contracts in Qatar this week, then hopefully I can catch up on all the other stuff that gets pushed to one side during these negotiations, which take all of my energy.
On a whim, I applied to Aberdeen University for an MBA. I wasn't going to apply, I was just curious as to whether or not any university would accept me without a degree. I filled in an online form and was advised that to be able to judge whether or not I would be accepted, I'd need to fill in the full application (no obligations). So I did!
I did plenty of research, MBA's range from £5k-£50k in the UK - fifty I just can't afford and five...mmm, didn't get the best of reviews. Aberdeen appealed to me as it's one of the six ancient universities in the UK, I love the city and have spent many many nights there in times gone past. The curriculum sounded well set out and all course work as opposed to exams and they are the first UK university to open a campus in Doha. It's expensive, a huge amount of money to me, but I will manage. Anyway, they haven't yet offered me a place.... but they did call to say that they were very impressed with my CV application and will do a full evaluation this week. Watch this space. Scary but exciting.
For many reasons I didn't carry on with further education after high school, something I've always wished I had; especially leaving the UK at such a young age and moving to central Europe, where it's the norm, unlike the North of England in the late eighties. In my head, I always thought I would at some point but then work got in the way, I didn't have time, then I didn't have the money, then I didn't have time again.....
Anyway, no use thinking of 'what ifs' - I may not even get offered a place. It's a big step.....
