Eish, my brain…
Published by Carin October 26th, 2007 in General, Carin thinksSo these past few weeks have been an absolute whirlwind of flying between work and studies.
I can honestly say that I definitely wasn’t prepared for how hard it was going to be. Most days I felt like I needed to be a twin!
I think it’s the whole “part-time” thing that makes you think you’ll be able to manage. To me part-time now means “all the full time stuff you didn’t have time for condensed into a fraction - about a tenth! - of the time you really needed”… 
Don’t get me wrong, finally getting the chance to study something that I knew would be valuable, has been incredibly fulfilling, challenging, exciting, exhilarating and most definitely worth all the late nights (make that early mornings) and hard work.
But - trying to fit it all in has been a juggling game I think I lost on more occasions than I won.
The most important thing I got from this (besides the actual info from the course), is that it’s about the learning you take away. I’ve never been so relaxed before about the mark I might get - because it’s not about whether I get a good mark. It’s not about just passing so I can say I did. It’s about learning and understanding.
And that I got more of than I could ever have asked for.
I’ve got one week left to go until my exam and I must say that I’m already on an adrenaline rush! The sense of accomplishment I have for allowing myself to do something that will always add value is so huge for me.
Thanks for your support Avos.
And people who work and study are officially my new hero’s!

I’m proud of you, bok - your head is completely in the right space about this! Sorry the last part has been so rough!
And from an outsiders perspective, you have juggled it in a way that has had very little consequece for us. I have to say that I didn’t hear or see signs of the hardship or the stress… I did however see your sense of achievement! It is delightful! Well done for taking the step chick… glad it has been so rewarding! Hats off to ya!
Eish! Me brain is sore for your brain. Way to go chick. Going back to study more was something I always thought I would do but then came to the realisation that I didn’t have it in me. So yes - you are officially a hero to me. Huge congrats!
Becks xx
You guys rock. Thanks!. xxx
Absolutely fantastic Carin, you certainly have a way of very steadily doing and getting what you want and need. So carry on getting stronger and stronger by the day. Lots of love
Grant
From working in the same space as you, I can see that this has been a busy and stressful time for you, but I think that you have taken it in your stride and pulled it off - well done! You are right - at the end of the day it is not about your mark, but about how much valuable info you have gained from this course. I take my hat off to you!
hey suga,
i have just found this link in my junk mail box, and you know i would have expressed my thoughts way earlier if i had read it when you first sent it.
i am very proud of you, i often look back on our year spent together and it is fantastic how you have grown stronger and become your out going, funny, happy, loving self.
keep going, never let anyone or anything get in your way and remember that im always here for you when you need a chat, hug (virtual for now), an ear or just a thought.
love you long time.
