What with finishing the second PGCE placement (April and May) then rushing back to Uni to finish the last 2 assignments (Early June) and drinking and partying (late June) plus a little trip to Copenhagen (very nice) I hint that I haven’t had time to blog.
But frankly I intended to start blogging again after I handed in the last assignment, but I couldn’t get back into that mind set. The course was so all consuming, there was just this vacuum left after finishing. Don’t get me wrong it was nice to relax and catch up with some old friends, but I’ve felt empty. I’m glad that my new school allowed/wanted me to start work before the UK summer holidays (starting around July 23). I needed the kick back into action. These last 2 days I’ve been catching up on reading some of my favourite blogs and getting some new Podcasts – getting back into the space I was in last year before starting the PGCE and I feel better for it.
Partly it is returning to my routine of reading, thinking and forcing myself to write. But the confidence of the blogosphere is infectious, it’s a place where things are possible and the future is yet to happen, there is a journey ahead (away from sausage factory education – more later)
