Greetings one and all.

I am new here, obviously, and I thought I would just say hello. My name is Robert. I am Irish, a student, and a long time fan of the Wheel of Time. Glad to be here

Hi C&D :) Welcome to Tar Valon! You might find it a bit quiet today as there are a fair number of members off to JordanCon (lucky people :grumble) but it's a really friendly site! I'm just a hop across the sea from you in Scotland :) What are you studying?

Thanks for the greeting guys. :) I was following the news feed on Facebook but had not signed up so when I got a moment I decided to jump on in. :)

@Ealandrelle - A pleasure to meet you. Always nice to meet people from my side of the pond. I am a Mature Student, studying English Geography and History. ;) Yeah Jordan-Con sounded so cool. I wish I could have gone.

@Brandegoris - Thanks for the welcome. I'll keep that in mind. I'll try tip along till then! :)

I studied English for 2 semesters back in my first time at Uni... I didn't get on with it very well :laugh: I'm also a mature student, but I'm studying Nursing this time around. Nearly finished! :)

Oh awesome. :) Are you enjoying Nursing? I have a few friends who did Nursing, and my mother is a Home Care attendant so I know what Health Care workers have to deal with. I can not imagine the training is very easy! :)

I am really enjoying English actually. But Geography not so much. After this year I can drop it and just keep English and Histroy though, which is what I actually want!

I could see how History could be really interesting. I really enjoyed it at school, and had some friends who took it at Uni :)

Nursing is good :) But yes, hard! It's intensive, and a lot of work. You don't get the usual student holidays for a start :laugh:

I haven't studied History since I was 12. It is interesting to come back to it after so long. I really enjoy it though. Kinda just one of those things I have loved since I was a wee un!

I can imagine it would not be the easiest thing to study. It must be rewarding though, to know that you are studying something that will let you save lives. :) Very admirable!

Welcome! Enjoy yourself here! If you have any questions or just want to chat feel free to message me!

I was an English/Equine major in college and I really enjoyed it! I think someday I'd like to go back and get my Masters in Creative Writing... But that would be a ways down the road.

Thanks for the warm welcome Roheryn! :)

English Equine huh? The University I am in actually have a really strong Equine programme, (It is set in the heart of horse country in Ireland after all!) but it is usually buisness paired with it. That is awesome! :D

It was an Equine Business Management major :) I just triple majored in two kinds of Equine and Creative Writing.
I'd love to visit Ireland some day!

And please, Roh for ease of typing.
