Well that's it! 3 years of Uni has finished! (I hope I've passed). On March 5th I was offered a full time job as a Graduate Early Years Practitioner in Plymstock. It's on a school site which I'm pretty excited about because it will be a similar experience to my University placement. I also wrote my dissertation on nurseries on a school site. We have our student house until the beginning of August so I will live there and walk/ get the bus to Plymstock until then. I am hoping it won't be too long until I am able to find a place to live in Plymouth. I also plan of saving for a car!
Graduation is on 24th September 2015 13:00-15:00 EEEKKK!!!
I chose not to pursue the PGCE in Post Compulsory Education straight away because upon a lot of reflection, I didn't feel educationally ready. 3 years ago I was doing A levels myself so am I really ready to teach that level? No way!
My career goals have not changed, but like everything in my life, it will just take that little bit longer to achieve.
I want to redo my GCSE Additional Science and return to uni to study for Early Years Teacher Status (which was my original goal before uni) I know I can do it. Its just science (and QTS tests) standing in my way. My friend went for an interview for the EYITT course at Plymouth Uni and they told her they wanted me!! That's pretty amazing! :)
In the future I will return to uni AGAIN and do a PGCE PCET to teach post 16 year olds but that may be 10 years away! who knows.

I really hate being misunderstood; so I think right now I need more time to learn how to articulate myself properly. University has helped me do that a lot more but I still have a lot of complex thoughts that I find difficult putting in to words. What comes out of my mouth is about 1% of what I actually think. Teachers know how to explain even the basic of things in an understandable and relatable way. I can never seem to be able to do that but I'm trying. Until this is resolved, I don't think I can pursue a career in teaching.
I am also trying to be more of a positive person. All the men in my family (sorry if you're one of them reading this) are real moaners. Glass half empty kind of people and I really don't want to turn in to that. I mentioned this to Joe and he said I already am like that! I was horrified!
I have also learnt recently that "Happiness is a journey, not a destination".. Its amazing how much changes once you realise that. I've always thought of happiness as something that can only happen once I've done certain things (e.g. once I get in to uni I'll be happy, once I have a car I'll be happy...)but now I know, self actualisation doesn't exist because the goal for happiness attainment keeps moving and changing. So hopefully if the goal post stops moving, I'll score a goal.
Feel free to comment and let me know what you think.
