When You Need to Remind Yourself

I have an assignment due next Friday... yeah I know I've not mentioned it here. I'm doing a paper this semester.

Anyway..... it's weighing on my mind, this assignment, a lot more than they ever did when I studied fresh from school!

So I'm reminding myself of the amazing privilege it is to be able to learn

to study without persecution

to have a huge range of choice of what to study

that no one stands in the way of a woman, who is a mum, learning something new.

It is a joy to be stretching my mind, learning new things, challenging myself in new ways.

Oh, and I'm grateful for amazing libraries with free wi-fi and lovely people to study next to, aye Deb?

We're so, so privileged here in New Zealand.

...and as a side note I'm also loving little boys who line up teddies.... oh so cute

see Megan and Simone for other grateful posts

I admire those of you who are studying. It is something I've looked into several times over the past few years and can still see myself doing in the future. The time is just right for my family at the moment. I'd love to know what you are studying. Enjoy it. Cx

yes it came about all of a sudden for me but I think the timing is really right and one paper is about the right load for me at the moment! :o)
Well not too much talking then ladies. I know its hard as you can be itching to tell your study mate something which just popped into your mind instead of concentrating on your work. Do tell what you are studying?

I'll do a post on what I am studying - promise! It is nice to chat but mainly study - I guess I trust we both have the same time pressures so we are there to work :o)
Go you! Good luck with the assignment - am sure you will nail it x

Yay for study. Free wifi is mixed blessing... It can be so distracting!
Good on ya gal - a thirst for learning and the ability to do so is such a wonderful gift. I enjoyed my second degree so much more with the wisdom of maturity approaching it with some world experience under my belt xx
