2. Far too old for that malarky
I have to be a tad sensible at the ripe old age of 45, all those kids make me feel oooooooooold.

3. I know what you mean!
I didn't get around to getting serious about my education until I was about 28. I still had a little malarky left in me, but I mostly enjoyed hitting the books. I even enjoyed writing some papers! I never got around to liking exams, though.

4. Very good for you !
from one non-traditional student to another, you will make the 'traditional' student think twice.
wondering what they are doing with their opportunity at higher education, and focus on the subject.
I hope you find your instructors open to you and your experienced pov as were mine. What is your major?

5. Mental Health and Human Services
I know the pay in that field isn't great but the reward of helping people is, the outlook in the job market for human services is very good though.
