Reading week is nearly over now and I have managed to do some work. Not as much as I probably could have done or would have liked, but I am making some progress with the motivation and settling in issues. I would like to take the credit for the spur of energy that has enabled me, but I have to praise the counsellor, other students and the support team for it really. They have all contributed.
I have nearly finished (I hope) my part of the presentation and have also started reading other books for my essay in Humanistics. I have watched gowns, mortar boards, the beautiful people wearing them and their smartly dressed and proud family and friends pass me all day. It has made me feel genuine warmth and pride for them and encouraged me somewhat. That could be me in three years time and how proud would I feel? How proud would my family and friends feel? And how proud would Marie (my personal tutor at Northern College and good friend) feel? I owe it to them and to myself to do the very best I can, knuckle down and aim for that 2:1 goal I have set myself.
I have had appointments gallore all week and feel tired, and the week isn't over. Tomorrow, I have booked a room for us to do some work on the presentation and then I have an appointment with the Physio in the late afternoon. I did manage to get a wander in to town today for an hour or so and I would have enjoyed it if my lower back hadn't been hurting. I am planning on getting some work done over the weekend on my essay and hopefully even making a start on it. I also want to go to Wilkinsons at Cliffton Moor to get some more deodorant as I forgot to bring some back with me from home.
It is back to studies next week but I am also planning on managing my time better. I have not reached my learning peak and I do strongly believe that I have a lot of learning potential left in me.........I just hope I don't peak too soon-haha!!!!
