Apart from that my classes are not going too badly. I struggled through my MYOB class making a few mistakes but getting there in the end thanks to Pam.

To be able to get back into the workforce I have to get my qualifications up to date.

I have started a week later than the rest of the class which means that I have to do some catching up.  It is very overwhelming being back into a class situation because it has been so long and computers have changed so much.  I am now going to have to manage my time so that i can
