Squee! Starting uni (again) today!

It's been ten years since I began my social work degree at RMIT Uni in the heart of Melbourne City. Back then I had a super cute and very hip little hard pink case for my selection of rainbow floppy disks and during my four year degree the changeover to usb sticks happened. I remember feeling a little sad to give up my cute little (big) disks and felt nervous that I would always be losing my tiny device, having to make a mad dash back to the building 8 computer lab to rescue it from the big clunky black IBM PCs. 

As I type today I am sitting in a cafe and have just connected to the RMIT wireless network on my iPad. I didn't need to book a computer in the Library and stand around waiting for one to become available. I didn't need to pay $1 for five minutes in an internet cafe. I just sat down in a cafe on the lower level of the sparkly new Swanton Street building and joined the network with ease. Pretty sure a lot of my assignments will be done right here and who knows, maybe something publishable?

I know that wifi has been around for a while. I'm no tech-novice. But it has just struck me this morning how much things have changed in the last ten years.

In 2003 when I first stepped into this wonderful university I was 18 and thought I knew everything. I was super wise... really I was.. all you needed to do was ask me. Today, ten years older I come to this course fully at peace with the knowledge that I don't know a fecking thing. And that's a-ok with me.

Here's to new adventures, taking risks and making your dreams come true. 

Peace gorgeous.
