Its been a while since I’ve last needed to pick up a book and study and do assignments that needed to be handed in on deadline. Its a thought that I think my subconscious has brought to my attention in the form of a dream. Last night I had one of those typical dreams that you might have during exam time, where you show up at the examination hall, and you don’t exactly know what you’re writing and you dont have your stationary, and in my case I couldnt even find a chair to sit on. Its usually a scary dream that you wake up sweaty and bit upset. However unpleasant, the first thought that popped into my mind was, “wow, I really need to study again”.

Recently I’ve been looking online for some material to study to keep my mind occupied. Things like guides to web design and marketing etc. Then I’ve look at MIT OpenCourseWare and looked at the available material there that I could go through. I’ve even asked friends who are currently studying at varsity to pass on their notes to me, so that I can go through them.

Which brings me to the question: If I’m already going through the effort of studying material, why don’t I just re-enroll at a university or educational institute and study for merit?
