    Good onya Motoracer! Im thinking about going back to school in 2008 to do a personal training or some kind of excercise therapy course. The thought of going back to school gets me nervous but I reckon it'll be good to look back on my life in 20 odd years and be able to say "yeah I achieved lots in my life". Takes a lot of gut's but I dont think you'll regret it! Good luck!

    Good for you MR, the only way to go as far Im concerned. Good education opens doors in my experience, but nothing makes life as enjoyable as doing something you feel passionate about for a job.
    Work hard and enjoy it mate.

    Great to hear MR.. What uni are you studying at? It is a good thing you didn't choose to study engineering if you are at all concerned at the gender issue. I am regretting not doing a BABE conjoint now, and not just for the scenery.

    Good on yer!

    I did the back to school thing a few (14) years ago.

    It saw me:
    Sell my bike
    nearly starve to death (didn't think about where I was going to get money from)
    Get stoned (more than once)
    Passed my diploma
    Get roped in to a degree which involved living in Paris.
    Party more than I ever though possible
    Become an unofficial paris catacomb guide
    Passed my BSc with honours
    Fall in love with a swedish girl
    move to sweden
    Fall out of love with a swedish girl
    Run away to the other side of the world...

    Not bad for someone sat on the dole with little hope of nothing. was the best move I ever made :-)

    I have been trying to find thoes things for a while now. Tomorrow is the huge clean up in the Garage, so hopefully it'll turn up. Sorry about misplacing them. I kind of forgot I had them after fhinishing the guard.

    You know me bro! After finding out that I didn't have any hotties in my class, I had a quick word with the tutors and made up some B.S. I switched classes from afternoon to morning. Now I am accompanied by at least 7 hotties! Sweet!

    Plenty of directions to go once you get through the degree, plus the courses are generally interesting and challenging.

    Good choice. Have fun.
    Firstly, 99% of chicks ARE mental. It definetly is interesting and challenging for sure and I think I'll love it!

    Just living off my savings so far dude. Gotta find a job to suit my scheduel soon though!

    BTW, I am studying at AUT in town. Since I am on a budget, I think of how I spend every cent, literally! Instead of wasting money on Bus, I am riding my pushbike for 50 mins one way. After about 4 years, I am actually taking lunch with me as well! Van's gotta sell in a week or two, then the FZR... For the R6, I have already stocked up on new tires that'll last me a while because I knew once I became a student, buying good tires was going to be out of the question.

    Cheers for the story man.

    Going to sell FZR soon.
    I am already skipping on foods that I used to over spend on.
    Not going to get stoned anymore. Been there, done that. It just slows me down.
    Passing this course would be wicked.
    How did you get that degree and what was it on? Hmmm Paris... Sounds way cool!
    PARTY! Yay!
    What's a catacomb guide?
    Honers, wow...
    I am going out with yet another Scandanavian girl (Not serious though, not in love). Her pic attached.
    I don't have any plans to move to Germany.

    Ahh, she's deformed, she's got a growth on her neck that looks like fingers.

    haha, sorry man, couldn't help it. Sounds like you're doing well for yourself. Nice lady too. You must have skills.
