Congratulations female

You're the only one? Usually there's a few, and then unfortunately the numbers dwindle down (both blokes and girls). In my year there is only two remaining girls.

Excited about college?

You're gonna love it, some of the lecturers are very good, especially Howell who will be your software development lecturer for the first year.

Are you hoping to continue on doing Computing or go onto IT?

Here's a program you'll become familiar with in a few weeks http://scratch.mit.edu/ . Even thought I hated it, it's really good to get your mind wrapped around certain programming concepts.

Hey

My name is Del (mature student) starting Computing - had to rely leaving cert points as I just missed out as a mature student because of the huge numbers applying I was told, Im hoping I made the best choice as I also got offered the hons degree in Blanch.

Dying to start the course - 4years seems long but its gonna fly I've been told :

A wee bit nervous too
