Finding my feet

I've been following my degree course 2 weeks, now I'm still not sure that I've got my head around everything, and at times it feels like I never will!!

Reading the posts from other peers has been really helpful though as I know that I'm not the only one feeling like that!

I've finally handed my first part of my module in and it has been signed off, so I do feel a little bit better, I guess I must be doind something right!

I'm working on the second part now, describing what a typical working day is like for me. I think that I went into a little too much detail at first, but with a re-draft and a few photos added I'm hoping that it will be fine.

Husband and the kids have gone on holiday this week, soI've got a week were I can get my teeth into the module in peace, who knows maybe this time next week I'll have my head around everything we have to do and and read, but I doubt it!

Settling In

I have spent a few days, wondering why I thought studying for a degree would be a good idea, and even thinking that I am out of my depth.

Then I started reading the post that other peers from my Cohort have posted on FirstClass and I soon started to realise that the majority of people were feeling exactly the same as me. The more I read, I say people offering support and advice, which I thought was nice. It quickly dawned on me that we are all in the same boat and with a little help from each other I'm sure that we will all grow into confident students.

I'm looking forward to growing into that confident student and I wish all the people in my cohort the very best of luck!

Finally enrolled!

Ok, so I've finally started my degree, something that I have been putting off for years. I always knew it would be something that I did one day but I had other priorities in my life, house, husband, children. You know that sort of things we all do!

Then it I got to a stage in my life that I started to see people progressing further than me at my work place, and I started thinking again about getting a degree. This time there was nothing stopping me, my husband and school both supported me in my decision and are encouraging me all the way.

So here I am telling the world (well anyone who's interested in reading it!)
