A Middle Aged Student

by KatieP on July 20, 2011

When a middle aged woman with a six figure job throws it all away to go back to University after 20 years away from academia, you have to worry if she’s making the right choice.

I give you the results of this risky endeavour :

results 2011

I made the video Suicide Widow for the course “Issues in Documentary“.

My article on Eating Disorders in Older Woman was for the subject “Investigative Research in the Digital Environment“.

All in all, I think the gamble paid off.

This is me smiling :D

Awesome pics of the Whitsundays Katie!!! I was there 2 weeks ago. I did a half day kayak trip with ‘Salty Dog Kayaks’ which was awesome and 6km. I would love to have done much more! My sis, her hubby, my Uncle and I also did a magical half day jetskiing. My sis and her hubby were there slightly longer than me and did the same ocean rafting trip that you did and had a blast but I did the kayaking.

Awesome pics xoxox

Jet skiing looks like fun too. Maybe next time for us.
