My new ID card tells me so. It's right there in big white letters, above the obligatory embarrassing photo and the NUS logo. I think this means I have to spend my afternoons watching Countdown now.
That's right, higher education fans, I've insinuated myself into Croydon College. My first day is on the 14th. Just got back from the enrolment day, having signed up for AS levels in History, Psychology and English Literature. Goverment and Politics was full (my bastarding luck), so my fourth is Film Studies. I nearly did Meedya Studies instead, but then I remembered this.
Yes, Croydon College! The self-described 'only "GOOD" college in Croydon', which now I've named I can't be libelous about. But the campus looks nice, it's easy to get to, I can get A-levels, and I think I'm comparatively unlikely to get my head kicked in, so it's all good. Seems a lot less formal than Dulwich, I get Tuesdays off, and by and large the rules boil down to 'don't do anything illegal, don't forget your ID card, and don't smoke'.
Obviously it's going to be a bit of an adjustment from sitting around all day and occasionally doing some hack writing, but I think (I hope) I'll do OK at it. I did manage to get top marks in the numeracy and literacy assessments, which at least proves that I haven't forgotten how to count.
Oh, and they even gave me an alarm clock with 'The early bird catches the worm!' on it as part of my welcome pack. I'm living the dream, folks.

That's great! Well done. You're obviously very smart, so I have no doubt that occupying your brain will be a positive thing. Good luck :)

W00T! Well done! xx
If you can keep to deadlines, you'll sail through it. Which is possibly why I didn't. Um.
Hmmm. If only there'd been more smart gay socialist sometime-depressive teens when I was at sixth form. I wouldn't have to have been all of them :-S. Here's hoping you find some similar.
Oh yeah, I did Meeja Studies. The course was pointless, but the teacher was a really cool lesbian.
Actually...I did Film Studies too. And met my first sort-of boyfriend on a psychology course. Are you sure you've not me from a slightly alternate universe?
Congratulations!
Now go forth and conquer.
Hey, congratulations! :o)
Also, there's no point in watching Coutdown anymore, not now you can't amuse yourself making bitchy comments about Carol Vorderman's bizarre taste in clothes. You'll have to fall back on the other student stereotypes instead - guess it's just as well you've already got the long military-style coat... ;o)
More congratulations from me. Well done!
Hope it goes well, swimmingly, and marvellously unpredictably wonderfully.
Dx
Congratuwelldone :) Hope it goes well.
So? Tell us all about the first day! We need to know!
So, how's college going?
