Uni

I think I may have enrolled for the wrong Uni course...

Oh my...

I am enrolled in the Bachelor of Visual Culture.  I am doing it because I like art and things like that. I really have no intention of using it to change careers...

But I NEED to change careers.  And to that I need some study behind me.

Ever since I was young I have wanted to study Natural Therapies, with a specific interest in Naturopathy. I never have because of the cost.

Well it turns out you can now do an Advanced Diploma in Naturopathy under the FEE-HELP scheme...

I have been getting prospectuses sent out to me for Naturopathy, Western Medicine, and Aromatherapy for years. I probably have ever prospectus from every place in Australia that offers Natural Therapy courses.

So why the hell am I studying Art????

Uni & WW

Just a quick one as I am at work and really busy (but needed a break IYKWIM).

Uni - I am studying through Open Universities Australia. I am doing a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Culture. I am doing it purely out of interest, I am not sure if I will have a career change, I just wanted to study these subjects. I will be looking and art, and sociological issues, and photography, digital design, textiles etc. It looks fantastic. My first subject is: Photography - An Introduction. :)

Weight Watchers Online costs $29pm which is a crap load cheaper than going to meetings. I have all the tools and I am still using my existing support system online. Plus I have the option of using their forums. The points system is taking me some time to get used to. Calories are not factored in at all. The points are work out based on fat/carbs/protein/fibre. low calorie foods are not necessarily low point foods, so there is quite a bit of adjustment to make. I am doing okay though.

My fundraising is going well, I hit the $2000 mark yesterday which is just awesome. Only $2979 to go... LOL The fundraising chocolates arrive next week - I am really nervous about having them around. 20 boxes are being delivered to my office. I am offloading about 16 boxes to other people to sell, but there will be some here. This is going to take a feat of strength to avoid these.

Especially considering I have joined a "No Junk Food for February" challenge on CK. But if I can get through this then I can get through anything!
