It's all 
amarissia's fault, what with her talk of taking online courses.
Just on a whim, I googled online university courses - in the UK, because here in Germany we don't believe that anyone who has *finished* University would *ever* want to take another course in his or her life. So there is no 'going back to College/University as a full-time employed adult'. What I mean to say is that we *do* have community learning centers, but they're geared more towards the 'oh so you want to dabble a bit in your hobby' crowd. Not towards *maybe* getting back to accumulating University credits so you *might* finish up a degree... >.> There are no "Departments of Continuing Education" in our Universities.
But... in the UK you can. ^___^;
So... I looked around and saw this.
I get 10 creds out of it, if I finish it. And that can count towards actually getting a degree - online. >.> They even have archaeology as an online course (is *terribly* tempted...).
What do you think? Creative Writing - maybe combined with English Lit? To further my knowledge of writing? Not too much in the beginning - I haven't done University courses in a *very* long time. But maybe one or two to start with?
*ponders*
Having a degree would *really* be nice... I wonder whether they'd accept my ancient credits that I'd gotten at NYU, way, way, *way* back?... *ponders some more*.

Though, to be honest, I'm *seriously* thinking about giving up my online shop. I still have a lot of stuff here, and I'm not quite sure how I'm going to be able to get rid of all of it, but more and more I'm thinking about just letting the shop go. Keeping up just the work on the publishing company. Because even though that's quite a bit, it's nothing I can't handle.
And it *would* point me in the right direction again, wouldn't it?
*ponders*
Talked to Cilli for almost an hour today on the phone. :) She sounds like she's finally settling in all right... :)
Good, so she's having fun? Excellent!
Yeah, the more I think about the shop, the more I'm convinced it will be the right thing to do.
About the writing course... I'm still thinking...
Well, she saw kangaroos, and the beach, and a chocolate factory, and a botanic garden so far. And she already bought her school uniform. And she's getting along fabulously with her host family. So I think she'll have a grand old time... :)
Ummmm back to you... YES! DOOOOO IIIIIIIIIIIIT!
Neither did I! I didn't even know that such a thing was possible, until amarissia said that she was starting an online course in medical transcription. So I suddenly had this idea, that maybe there's something similar available for writing...
And there you are...
I'm seriously thinking about it! :)
And creative writing would be good, I think, because (I would hope) it might help me in developing my own writing better...
