Comfort zone...what's that
It’s been a manic week. Honestly, I had a total wobble on
Thursday. I was exhausted, the Meniere’s was a real pain and I was in University all
day, looking at new subjects I have not done before. Fair to say, I wanted to
run away, hide and lock myself in the house. Understated, I was a little
overwhelmed with the amount of reading and work I have to do for the Master’s
degree, I know… I did expect it but it’s a bit of a brain overload. Needless to
say, I will rise to the challenge. For the first time in my entire life, I know
exactly what I want to do and where I want to be. That’s very exciting. I am
totally out of my comfort zone but with like minded people.
Learning and motivation to learn is infectious and one of
the reasons I write this blog. Lucas has taken his reading book to bed with him
every night this week, without debate or discussion. I’m so proud of his
attitude and that he sees us studying and wants to do it himself.
Wes has been on a week’s residential to the Lake District
with his Uni course. We missed him but no one more than Lucas. By the end of
the week he was really down and asking how many hours before he returned. That’s
what I only ever wanted – a sibling bond between them that is unbreakable. They
are truly superstars.
In the last six months our lives have changed by epic
proportions but one thing remains – our family unit remains tighter than ever.
Master’s Degree
I am going green. My Master’s is in Information and
Technology and I have chosen ICT and
the Environment, Managing Information in the
Digital and Global Environment and Project Management. I want to do something
to change how IT is taught in High Schools and you know me… when I start with a
bee in my bonnet – it buzzes until its free and done!

I have almost finished the ending of Beyond the Lies – well, the new ending that is. I apologise for the delay in publishing this but I’m not rushing it. I promise you it will be worth it…I think.
I am still waiting ever so patiently for anyone to take
Streetwise. I won’t give up and really believe my time will come.
The Nanny is coming along…
I can’t put into words how happy I am at the moment. Long
may it continue and I suspect it will as long as I do what is best for me and
my imperfectly perfect family. Please follow your dreams and don’t give up. For
me, the UK Government has announced PhD loans from 2018. Ideally I would like
an arts council scholarship but at least now I have a plan b and you know how
much us Mums love a plan b and c, d, e, f, g, h, I, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s,
t, u, v, w, x, y, z… then we wing it!
Have a fabulous week and just GO FOR IT. I love autumn. It's my favourite time of year.
Much love…
