What the heck am I doing?
I have spent the last week on the roller coaster of Should I? or Shouldn't I?... To embark on a postgraduate course of study OR NOT...
I mean, its almost 28 years since I went to university, since I used my brain in a really academic way. So, of course, I'm terrified.
Can I do it?
Will I be able to keep up?
Will I understand what the heck is going on?
And, most worrying of all, will I be able to cope with adding a four hour class and eight to ten hours of study into an already overflowing life of husband, daughters, work, Board, home and me...? This one makes my stomach churn a little. My eldest is doing NCEA Level 1 this year, and being a bright but not so confident kid, might need some support and a little bit of hand-holding... And my youngest needs plenty of "encouragement" to get her work done...
I'm also not entirely sure why I am doing this... I can see that it will be great for me to be doing some study as I am quite excited about getting my brain going again. And I'm sure that I will learn A LOT. But is this the right course for me? It is aimed at teachers, so will it be useful for me in my career?
Well, I've accepted my place now, so I can't really back out of it...
Onward and upward and God help me and my family!
