Sometimes it can all seem a little daunting.

As I begin to write this second blog I have just about grasped the concept that in fact "yes" I AM going to be completing my degree whilst working a full time job with crazy hours! - which I of course would not change for the world, the busier the better is my motto.


However as I received all my log in details to enrol online the other day, I thought I would do the right thing and get organised, by this I mean printing out all the relevant information and reading material getting a new folder to make it look nice and neat and presentable (It's like being at the start of a new school term!)


Anyway after a crazy day at work yesterday filled with teaching body conditioning, Arts Award Ballet and many other fun things. I decided in my informant wisdom when I got home to do some "light" bed time reading. If you have already downloaded the relevant material, you will understand it is far from light reading!


As I start reading the pages I get myself into a sudden panic. Just how on earth am I actually going to do this?! How am I going to distribute my time effectively so that I can still perform in my job and try to achieve the best I can out of my degree along side still having time for all the important people in my life.


To try and calm myself down, I decided the best thing to do would be to get a cup of tea (tea is always the best medicine!) and try and just sleep on it, and all would be better in the morning.


Surely enough on my commute to work this morning, while listening to Smooth fm at some ungodly hour of the morning I got thinking. Of course I can do this, all I need to do is to manage my time efficiently, stay calm and just concentrate on the task in hand and take things one step at a time as they say "you can't run before you can walk"


So really, all that happened last night is that I got myself into an unnecessary panic, all because I was daunted by all this bits of paper in the lovely new folder in front of me, the thing to do is to take time, calm down and put things into perspective. Things aren't going to be as daunting as they seem at first.
