Sunshine

Hey all,

It's been a while since my last post.. I deliberately left a space so that i could tear away from all the things i tended to dwell on. It's worked :) I can truly say time is one of the best healers.

Things seem to be falling into place for me these past months.

I've finally 'found myself' and have realised that most things can be achieved where there's hope and determination. I had doubts about my future career, but since starting my 3rd school placement it confirmed it's deffinitely what i want to do. Also, doubts about my personal life, but all of them have dissapeared. The confident, care-free (to an extent) Mia is back!
The girl that was a cheeky, rebellious student is becoming a teacher so you better believe it ;)

I managed to secure a place at my university of choice after an intense 6 hour 'interview' last Monday, although i'd say it was more of an activity day really. They like to grill us potential teachers..
When i got there, it went like this:

- Maths exam
- English essay on SATS
- Paired listening and speaking
- Individual presentation on 'your experiences' in front of everyone (had 3 minutes to plan and write it on acetate)
- Group discussion. Again, on SATS and our stance on them. *Yawn*

We were told it would take at least 2 weeks to hear back, but i heard within 3 days that i got a place, so as you can imagine i was really happy. I was also slightly bewildered as some of the 'more able' women in our class got rejected.

I had good vibes about the place whilst i was there and clearly the positivity carried through :) Everyone seemed pretty nervous as you'd expect, but i felt right at home XD
I've never had a problem with giving presentations, infact i enjoy them :)

As well as academically, i'm also having a better time at work. Having sports arranged and socialising more with my colleagues, scoring a goal against my boss and seeing my line manager being knocked out on the pitch made for quite an eventful day :D

Also, I love the girls who are on my teaching course at the moment, they're all so genuine and i couldn't ask for a better bunch of people to study with. Although i seemed to have somehow been branded as the 'boob girl' and rebel of the class, t'is all good. They help me to enjoy learning, so i'm prepared to let it slide ;)

I have no regrets in life and still go with the saying 'What's meant be will be'.
For those who don't have time, i hope you're having a good life!
For everyone else, thanks for being there :)


Life's sweet. Live it up.
