Oooh...
I emailed the university contact for the foundation year in sciences and asked him a few questions like; did it provide access to the BSC I want to do, and did it qualify as HE, or would I get shafted on loans?
He responded and said that yes it provides access to the BSC I want to do, and yes, they count it as the first year of an extended BSC, so I'd qualify as an everyday, normal HE student, loan-wise.
So, I responded and asked a couple of other questions, like when would my application have to be in?
I'm going to wait for his response, and depending on how long I've got, see if I can go and see them, and see the disability co-ord type at the same time, and talk to them about accomodation and finances and such things!!
I should really tell my boyfriend what I'm considering... especially considering I'm thinking we could move into halls together... though I doubt the course would start until September, so we've got a while to think things over yet.
I really wanted more information before I told him I was considering it, especially more information about how I'm going to afford it, and whether it'd put us in a better, or worse, financial situation than now.

Hi, I just randomly came across your site an it just summed up my life!! I just turned 27 and have Fibromyalgia....about 8 years ive been living with this, and only the last 2 that i got my 'diagnosis'. I've been on Income support for 5 years and now recieve DLA... It has saved me, but i also feel trapped. I am still very ill, but like you i have dreams and ambitions...i am 'managing my condition', and manage to do hobbies, and things i enjoy, so i am lucky....i am very stubborn and determined!....despite the severe pain, brain fog, depression, fatigue/totall exaustion, having constant colds/flu....blah blah you know the score!!....Well anyway, i've always had two main passions in my life, animal welfare/fundraising, and acting. I used to work in Animal welfare, and did pantomimes in my home town as a much loved hobby... i got to ill to carry on working, and have been 'signed off' ever since....its been a long, hard slog, but i've kept myself going, somehow....and kept up the acting...Anyway, this 2007 has brought a new way of thinking....i either stay as i am, skint, trapped in welfare, to scared/ill/poor to escape, chugging along, doing good, positive stuff for myself and others.....but it just isn't enough....i've decided i want to go to the Bristol old vi theatre school!!! BUT!...as you so eliquently put it, how the hell do you afford/manage to do it!???? SO! My new task begins....ive decided to do one thing at a time. send in an application, and take it from there....see if i get accepted, then make my dreams come true! ;O)) Bloody scary i tell you! =O, All the best with your dreams and ambitions... you can do it! x ;o)
