Jun. 4th, 2008 09:01 pmHey all, very tired, so grammar is likely to fail me. But I feel an urge to Blog.
Monday night I gave a speech at my Toastmasters club. A little about the Toastmasters program: one is given a manual which has ten projects (speeches in fact) in it. The first one is a easy one, then it goes from there. Anyway, once you've done ten speeches, you are considered no longer a novice, and Toastmasters International sends ya a certificate. The speech I gave on Monday was my tenth speech, so I am now officially a "Competent Communicator". Damn, I don't think much of that title, but all the same, it's nice to have achieved it. Only took me since August of 2003 :-)
And today, I sent off my enrolment form to the Chifley Business School. I'm enrolling in their MBA (Technology Management) course. Eep. I'm going back to being a student almost exactly ten years after I finished my degree at RMIT...
Which I had to provide a certified copy of. Which meant I had to find the damn thing! It was on a shelf, I suppose I should get the damn thing framed or something eventually.
There's also a good chance that work will fund some or all of my fees for the course! How cool is that! Might even get some study leave. Ace. Now I just have to make sure I'm not as shite a student as I was doing my undergrad degree...
