I am trying not to look at the keyboard as I am seeing spots before my eyes! I have just returned from cycling over to deliver a birthday pressie to my little friend Hebe who is 9 today. She is looking forward to her party tomorrow -making potions, and dressing up with her friends. My contribution is a box of very bright nail varnishes – yellow, orange, lime green and purple. Of course she, her mum Chloe, and I had to try them all out and I have got back with each nail painted a different colour and covered in spots. Hebe’s little brother Herbie helped as well so a fair bit of my cuticle is also gaily painted. How am I supposed to take my essay writing seriously today?
We have been having lectures in preparation for our last piece of work for this year. This is to come up with a feasible research proposal. It is important to get it right for two reasons. Firstly; I have to pass it to process into the third year, and secondly; if I take the research option for the third year that will be the first stage of it . I know that unless it interests me, I will struggle to stay motivated to stick at it and produce a 15,000 – 20,000 word report at the end of it all. I am beginning to think I may have the tiny seed of a topic so – watch this space!
The other option for the third year is to produce an 8,000 word piece that documents my professional and personal development as a counsellor in training. Alongside this is a cognitive behavioural therapy training. Originally I had thought I would like to do this option but I am now less sure. Luckily I don’t have to decide yet.
On Monday it’s my daughter Kate’s 26th birthday – where has all that time gone? As she is lives in West Sussex I have to wait until next Sunday to see her, after my essay deadline on Wednesday, but I have made her one of my usual crazy cards and posted it to her full of bits that will make a lovely sparkly mess when she opens it. Happy birthday Kate!!
