Restoring my soul.

come from old endings, I read that somewhere and I don’t remember exactly where.  It was possibly a meme on Facebook.

I’m taking a leaf from my daughter’s book and persevering with my studies.  Earlier this year I decided that a Diploma would be “good enough” instead of doing a full Bachelor Degree.  That somehow I would be content with that as an achievement, afterall I was also studying a different Diploma with another education provider and shouldn’t I concentrate on that?

I was reading some of my old assignments from my degree and surprised by how good they were ( I couldn’t remember writing such words due to the angst at the time I guess) I was inspired to contact the provider and ask if by chance I was still registered?

I was going to take it as a sign, fate, happenchance whatever you like, if I was still registered I was going to bite the bullet and finish that degree. 4 Units is one year part time or 6 months full time.

I took stock of my schedule and my current time commitments and decided that I could do part time, I would make it work.  There will be some juggling needed and I will need to learn to say No more often.  However I am determined to finish and I accept whatever the future may hold for me.  Even if it doesn’t lead to the job of my dreams, it’s not about that for me; the sense of accomplishment, the pride in finishing what I started in spite of the hurdles, the example I will set for my kids and yes perhaps a big middle finger to those that said I couldn’t do it or that I shouldn’t do it, to the naysayers and the doubters and the people who complained about me not having time for them (not family of course).

I want to be a finisher, I want to be able to say about myself that I started something with the intention of completing it and I did it.

I will blog at times about my journey and my accomplishment and failures. please join me and give me a shout out of encouragement at times.

thanks for reading.
