Last year after doing only 2 practical subjects, I auditioned for Higher Certificate in music. My thinking was that either something catastrophic would happen nature-wise and we'd all be dead by the time the new academic year started on 4 Feb or we'd be travelling and I would have to say "sorry, can't study this year" but none of that happened and 4 Feb arrived and I started classes at Stellenbosch University.
Now I've never had the opportunity to be a university student as I left school midyear standard nine. I got my matric through night school in an Afrikaans medium school after I had all my 5 kids and a full-time job. That was a challenge and I made it so university would be a piece of cake, right?
I guess all university students will know of that first week timetable madness. My whole initiation was made a tad worse by the fact that somehow I could not see my University emails or load printing credits or see my extra class timetable. So hubby and I, he so lovingly volunteered to sit with me, tackled Ithub not once, but 3 times.
