Hello, my name is George Patterson, I'm a 58-year-old about embark on a Masters in local history at Cork UCC in Ireland. I have lived in Cork for 20 years and I've learned a lot about the history of Ireland. I now want to further my education. I want to further myself and hopefully increase my intellect, change my perceptions, emotions, trains of thought and I suppose my general personality in order to be more knowledgable and happier in my own skin.

Week 3
After being away for one of the lessons I have finally caught up just today. Last Wednesday's lesson was superb. It may be strange but I feel a change in me already. It's been a long while since I've been at college and I'm not into the routine, where as others coming straight from their degree will be used to the discipline. However even at 58 it's coming back. In fact to be truthful I don't think 58 is any age at all. I do feel I look a bit older but any person going on in years would say they still feel like a teenager and of course this is no different for me. I do believe being vegan helps me substantially with the levels of energy required to do your work and also to go through the learning system where 50% of your time is taken up researching and the other 50% somehow trying to transpose that research. Transpose it into words and sentences but not only makes sense but put across an atmosphere within the text of being knowledgeable and interesting. The bigger problem is that after all my years, I tend to think I am interesting. It is why I write in the way I write, but that is only my opinion. Some people do say to me they love my writings but what percentage of the population is that? I do not know. It's very flattering that someone might say nice things, but just like the existence of God or the big bang I do not know. I do know what is sensible to believe. I do know what I want to believe. I am moving away from the topic at hand. Currently I'm finding out many historical things
