A New Challenge

I've come to realise that I need to keep pushing myself to try new things - it's too easy to put my feet up and vegetate unless I set a goal to aim for. In recent years I've studied Spanish to GCSE level, learnt the physical skills of fencing and kobudo, written a novel in a month and knuckled down to reading at least one book a week, so now it's time for the big one.

After looking at the prospectus and going to see an advisor at an open day this week, I'm going to sign up for an Open University degree which will add up to six years of part time study. It looks like it's going to be a lot of work, but I really need to do something in the evenings other than falling asleep in front of the telly. Bring it on!
