Well it is going to be full on this semester. Powerpoint presentation on our chosen disease (oh god another choice, what do I pick??) in front of the class (yuk - I love talking but not in front of a crowd), advanced medical terminology and another computer medical package.
We also have to do two days placement, probably at the Epworth hospital in Richmond - I thought how ironic - is there a man in the sky playing cruel jokes on me!! If only I had done that a year ago, maybe things would be different now. But I need to take into account that I am a capricorn, don't like change and am currently in the midst of a midlife crisis!!! So I need to be gentle on myself.
We will be going to placement in pairs. I have made a few friends but in particular I have become friendly with one girl probably because we were going through similar things at similar times. Hopefully we can train it in together. She is the next stop down from me (once I move into my new place). I will be trying to get an accounts/admin position because that is where my strengths lay.
I was re-reading some notes I had made from self help books I read last year
Peace is the absence of worry
Worry is the absence of trust
So basically if we trust, we should attain peace. Sounds easy huh??!!
Use your best perfume and china - refuse to ration the beauty in your life
Yep I do this one
Building happiness requires planning, patience and persistance.
Be kind and gentle to yourself
Well I gotta say, I struggle with this one as I had always found happiness so easily attainable. As I have grown older it seems harder (shouldn't it get easier) and I seem to worry and am anxious about more, both big and little things.
I have tried to analyse this over the last few months and I think it is because of my sense of duty and responsibility (mostly re Kelly) is sometimes overwhelming. I didn't choose nor ever invisage myself being a sole parent (though I believe I got too comfortable/safe in that role and that led to my troubles of the past year, dislike of change again!!). I have recently chosen to accept (not fight) my responsibility and as a consequence, I am taking Kelly more places with me, not forcing her to go to her fathers when she doesn't want to go and generally trying to relax more at home with her rather than always being out and about. She has started singing to herself again whilst playing games, is being nicer to me, loves playing games with me (oh no not another game of Bingo) but also can play solo for long periods of time.
Maybe I am finally getting this motherhood thing sussed!!!
Keep well and happy. Smile - pretend you have infra-red vision!!!
