About me

Hi my name is John and thank you for taking a look at my website.

So about me.... Well I currently live with my husband, dog and 2 cats in the North East of England.  I am currently attending the University of Sunderland where I am studying Computer Science with an integrated foundation year.  I chose the option of an integrated foundation year as I have not been in education for 30 years.  Being 47 years young I felt that this would prepare me to get back into the mindset to study, and boy was I right :)

I chose to study computer science as I have been an avid gamer since I was 7, yes we had computers back then, and have always had an interest in computer systems and technology. So I thought it would be an interesting course and help me expand my knowledge of the subject.

I have a lot of people asking me why I am doing this now and what I hope to gain from it.  My response is always the same.  I want to walk across that stage in my gown and hat, shake the Deans hand and accept my certificate.  I have no aspirations when it comes to careers, though I am not adverse to a career within computer science, I simply did not get the chance to do this in my younger years and now I have the support of my husband and friends which is allowing me to pursue this goal of getting my degree.
