Degree/SACE

I just realized that I may have confused things when my information about myself states tht I have a degree and then also including in my blog that I am also trying to get my SACE.  This is because I did a Mature Age Entry exam to get into University.  I always felt that I would have like to do my year 12.  In fact I sort of felt that I had cheated.  This of course is a ridiculous idea but deep down I still felt that I hadn't gone the right way about going on to higher education.  The one thing that the degree has done for me is to give me the ability to write essays and present university grade bookwork.  Of course the practical side of all my is a completely different story.  I picked subjects that were utterly opposite to the type of subjects I had completed at Uni.  All my new subjects were based on learning how to produce art works, pottery, sculpture and fabric design.  I also did some health and welfare subjects and even hospitality and clothing design, along with community based subjects.  I managed to get a perfect score in arts and the community and rocked up to Government House to receive my certificate.  Sadly, only students who have three or more perfect scores are presented to the Governor.  I was a bit sad not to meet Marjorie Jackson Nelson though.  So there we have it as usual I am doing things the wrong way around but in the end I will hopefully have my SACE.  This is the longest saga in the course of my life.  I started my mature education in 1985, graduated from Uni in 1997 and now if all goes well, I will have my SACE some time this year.  That is assuming that I can manage to enrol.  I believe it is not the end result that matters but the journey I have taken to get here.  Fingers crossed that my enrollment will go ahead.
