I have to count my blessings.
I am very fortunate to have had an offer of a place at any University, let alone one as prestigious as UCD.
Fortunate due to these recessionary times and a sharp increase in demand for such places.
An old bird like me.
But I know I earned my place as I achieved such a high score in their entrance exam.
So I feel a certain smugness too.
There are quite a number of us older women and we huddle together in the café in a female bonding ritual, sharing our life stories and ignoring the library.
This could be dangerous.
