Good Luck

Tonight should be a good night.  My little sister is going off to university this weekend - she'll be the third of the four kids in our family to get a degree, something a fact that I hope our parents are pretty proud of.

We're having some farewell and good luck drinks tonight with a few friends.  She only going 50 miles away, so she'll be going home to the folks every weekend, but it's still a big step. 

What's different about my sister is that her degree will be the most artistic of the three.  My older brother got his degree in English, while mine was in geography.  The little'un, though, is getting hers in... hell, I don't remember, but it's something like 3D design or something that involves using the occasional potters wheel or something.

She's also pretty handy with a camera.

Clearly she got the lion's share of the talent in our family.

Just read your latest blog and feel you are implying that Mum and Dad aren't proud of me. It implies that the fact that i've not gone to university is something to be ashamed of. The fact that i own my own house, have a family and earn more than my three siblings put together ( all through hard work i may add ) is something to be proud of. Personally i feel that paying upwards of £10,000 to spend three or four years at university, to come out and get the same job a school leaver would be able to get seems a bit silly to me, but hey what would i know, i didn't have a proper education.
