Seriously, where did the summer go!? It's raining, I'm wearing socks and a cardigan, I feel the sudden urge to light candles again, I used my umbrella last night! You know what? No need to panic. September is a funny kind of month. It might be raining now, but the sun could reappear at any… Continue reading Embracing Change: The Excitement of September

Spoiled Rotten
This summer, my family and I spent two amazing weeks at a huge resort celebrating my Dad's 50th birthday. We were spoiled rotten with two pools, a section of the beach, on-site restaurants, a HUGE buffet, a gym, a coffee shop, need I go on? I don't recall ever having felt so relaxed! It was… Continue reading Spoiled Rotten
Time to decide if a career in special education is for me
Genuinely struggling to piece this week together. It's been a long one, a busy one, a stressful one at times, but ultimately a good one. Wednesday was a very good day. For my birthday, Dave bought us tickets to see The Woman in Black at the Fortune Theatre. For those who don't know, The Woman… Continue reading Time to decide if a career in special education is for me
“Always look ahead, but never look back”: Quoting Miles Davis at the end of a challenging week

Feeling like a graduate who’s failing at life
This week: Dave and I booked a spontaneous trip to the cinema. I face-swapped with a minion. An amazing friend who obviously knows the way to my heart, cooked me a Mexican dinner: She made her guacamole from scratch. Doesn't get much better than that. I almost gave up on Plan A, get a… Continue reading Feeling like a graduate who’s failing at life
Navigating life after university: Step one, find a job
It's Sunday again. The whole house smells of roast beef and I can't stop smiling. Sundays are my favourite thing. Last week was a tough one - my anxiety was a little harder to deal with than usual and I was feeling a bit lost, alone and confused. But this week I've had a Cadbury… Continue reading Navigating life after university: Step one, find a job
Deciding what’s next after university
One minute I'm ridiculously excited over a quote from a book on an interesting historical topic or I'm so engrossed in writing the opinionated conclusion to my essay that I forget it isn't cool to be caught enjoying coursework. The next minute I'm stood in my room singing Mozart's Agnus Dei, loving it and deciding that singing is what I want to do for the rest of my life.
