And breath ......

Exactly a week ago today, I was sat right where I am now, in my office sifting through emails after having taught the 07:45 ballet class after a delayed train and not getting home till nearly 1am. As you can probably imagine, coffee was my best friend that day.

It's only after such a busy week, that I have had time to reflect upon the past 18 months and it is starting to sink in that it's all finished!! There have been times over the period where I have seriously asked myself what on earth am I doing? Did I seriously think that I would have time to do all this work? but do you know what it's all been worth it.

Finally thoughts on the oral presentation ..... after thinking that we were going to be sat in the corridor to do our presentation with no room to go too. It was all okay in the end! and also wasn't half as scary as I had built it up to be in my mind, but I was so glad that I was there in person. For me it did symbolise the end!

So from me - Congratulations!!!!! to all my fellow module 3 (I'll see you all at graduation) To the other modules, you may feel like there is no light at the end of the tunnel, but there is!!! keep going and it will be so worth it!!! :)

Coming to the end .....

As we enter the final week of study time ( for the final submission on Friday eeek!!! ) I thought it would be an appropriate time to reflect on the past 18 months.

I am feeling a sense of achievement, not only for the fact that I have (hopefully) completed a degree, but that fact that I have also managed to juggle a full teaching timetable alongside boarding duties and fitting in trying to do work as and when. It has not been easy at times, and sometimes all I have wanted to do is curl up into a ball and forget about the whole thing. However, I have stuck with it through many tears and tantrums and the support from fellow BAPP students and people at home.

To all the module 3's I hope that you are enjoying this final week, and not feeling too stressed. I am looking forward to seeing what you have all been up to at the oral presentations next week.

To all other modules - good luck with the rest of your journey. Keep going there is a light at the end of the tunnel and it will all be worth it in the end :)
