Mature Age Student

I will be using this account to ask a few innocent questions about the course outline.

[Mature Age Student @MatureAge]

I have enjoyed the little academic fling, but when it comes to intellectual endeavours I believe that solo efforts are more satisfying.

[Mature Age Student @MatureAge]

Helping to restructure our department into a new flexible hub of excellence will require my full commitment and energy.

[Mature Age Student @MatureAge]

Frankly, I have long suspected that I was outgrowing the intellectual hegemony of my lecturers.

[Mature Age Student @MatureAge]

Certain programmes previously funded by the Department can no longer proceed in this tough fiscal environment.

[Mature Age Student @MatureAge]

While my studies have had an improving effect on my office-mates, their cultural enrichment shouldn't come at the cost of core deliverables.

[Mature Age Student @MatureAge]

The Department has had to make a number of cut-backs this quarter.

[Mature Age Student @MatureAge]

I expect she will be receptive to the idea of study abroad as it will enrich the intellectual environment at the department upon my return.

[Mature Age Student @MatureAge]

My EL2 has advised me come into the office as she wishes to speak to me in person about my work-sponsored study programme.

[Mature Age Student @MatureAge]

My wife Belinda has wisely suggested that I involve my EL2 in discussions pertaining to a possible year abroad.

[Mature Age Student @MatureAge]

I may need some pamphlet literature to help me convince my wife Belinda that a year abroad would be beneficial to my studies.

[Mature Age Student @MatureAge]

I have told my wife Belinda and son Royce that I am considering undertaking a year of study abroad.

[Mature Age Student @MatureAge]

My friend Margaret Wang will be spending the year in Cardiff, Wales, attending university!

[Mature Age Student @MatureAge]

What exactly is a "student mobility program", Margaret?

[Mature Age Student @MatureAge]

My friend Margaret Wang will not be able to attend my Pre-Lecture Coffee Catch-Up Discussion Group (PLCCUDG) next year.

[Mature Age Student @MatureAge]

I confess myself quite saddened.

[Mature Age Student @MatureAge]

Margaret Wang has told me her important news.

[Mature Age Student @MatureAge]

My apologies; I hope you enjoy it all the same.

[Mature Age Student @MatureAge]

Hello, Margaret. I have taken the liberty of ordering you an orange and mango mineral water. I hope this is your favourite.

[Mature Age Student @MatureAge]

Please return in five minutes, waiter, when I anticipate my friend Margaret Wang will have arrived!

[Mature Age Student @MatureAge]

I am aware that a literalist reading of the criteria may not support my decision to submit a counterfactual short story, but nonetheless!
