I've started a Master of Education this semester and boy, what a shock to the system, especially with the first assesment piece just completed! The essay was due on Friday just gone and it landed in the post box about 4pm and I was glad to see the back of it! :o)
Fitting study time into your routine is not easy. You not only need some time, you also need to switch your brain over to reflection, critical thinking, and geenrally be able to swim about in your thoughts and dive below the surface enough to know what it is you're getting yoruself into, scholarly speaking! :o)
So, what lesson have I learned from re-entry to study (via an assessment piece) at this point?
- Learning IS work! Treat it as such and the rewards will come.
- I am a different animal after midnight and it's nice to re-awaken different 'selfs' in this way ;oP
- Don't ignore your support networks and don't wait untilt he last minute to use that support, and
- Tea tastes weird in the wee small hours...!
I'm and so going to prepare for my next assessment piece...(hmmmm, we'll see about that!) ;oP

You know, I think you're on to something there marica!
Actually, after the residual stress had trickled out of my body, I realised I'd had fun! The work probably wasn't the best, but hey, it's my first essay in 5 years or so and it's an effort to call up what you know from the deep recesses of your mind! :o)
I am buzzing from the effort and it's feeding into my work projects this week, so it's all good!
I love your wise words and will certainly be in touch for some support when I need it!
Ciao, Marg =oD
