While she was there I went to the Poly tech bookstore to pick up one of my books needed for the Anatomy and Physiology part of my course. I nearly had a heart attack when they handed it to me, just looking at it made my brain hurt. It is very daunting knowing that I will need to learn most of what is contained within this HUGE book that really weighs a ton!!!! Er and we won't even mention the cost...This book is also required for the Midwifery degree, so hopefully I won't have to know it all in the next 5 months.......
I walked around the Poly tech for a while (mobile in hand in-case pre-school called) trying to look like a cool student instead of an exhausted mother of 3!! I think it is fair to say that I did NOT fool anybody!!!!!I think that I need to stop stressing so much and start enjoying the fact that I am about to embark on a new adventure. In a few weeks time I will be taking the very first step on my journey to becoming a midwife and it's really quite exciting!
Last night I attended an open evening for the Midwifery degree which was excellent and really informative. It is a difficult course to get on and is even more popular this year as a lot of people see it as a recession proof job. I found out last night that they do not give interviews anymore, but choose solely from the application essay....YIKES!!!! I was pretty sure that I could verbally portray my passion for midwifery, but I am concerned that I will not be able to do this as well in an essay. Blimey I can't even remember the last time I wrote an essay.
Am not stressing though, NOT, NOT, NOT!!! Well maybe just a little bit.

IT sounds like a big day all round. I hope the second day of daycare and tech went well too.
Why do we worry so much???? Ben left school a few weeks ago and has gone too Canada with his Nan, I have done nothing but worry, so you are not alone and he is a big boy now.
I do remember when josh started at play group, it’s what do I do now, if only there was a book for us mums too tell us how we are going to feel with each change we have with our children.
Not only do you come across as a very good mum and very talented one too, I can see you all benefitting from the new step you are making in your life.
BE PROUD OF YOURSELF, YOU HAVE EVERY REASON TOO BE!!! :0)
I don’t normally do serious- have a lovely week and good luck-love Lou xxx
aww she looks gorgeous!
re the midwifery essay, you'll be fine! you've had three kids! you're already familiar with the natal process & with lack of sleep - you're half way there already ;)
it really is true that the first essay is the hardest and that you'll quickly find your groove.
(although, to be honest, my diet reduces to espressos and smints during essay-writing.)
this is one of your heart's desires, babe - love that you're doing it!!!!! X
