God’s Little Instruction Book For Students

I did it!  Passed my pt 3 with flying colours and what a relief.  So much so that I cried when I drove home…very attractive!  Have had the most incredible 4 days of my life.  It’s been the most exciting and scary thing i’ve ever done but what a feeling that is, what a feeling of being alive.  To achieve such a goal that’s been nearly 2 years in the making is a very special feeling and now I want more!  What have I learnt from this?  Things don’t always go to plan but persistence doesn’t recognise failure.  I’m so proud of myself for that, i’ve stuck with this to the end.

When I came home this evening my housemates had bought me a card, balloon and bottle of wine which was lovely.  All my friends have been so supportive and wouldn’t have been able to do this on my own, i’m very grateful.

So what now?  I’ve got a full day of lessons tomorrow and will probably be working solidly for the next week so I can fit all my pupils in before I go away. I’ve also got the small matter of thinking about handing in my notice at my old job.  I’ve been in that job for over 12 years and I can hardly believe that i’m now free to leave.  I drifted into that job when I was at college and never meant to stay for so long.  I didn’t have a plan back then so I fitted into other people’s plans and they they didn’t have much planned for me!  Do you ever get that feeling that your life is going to take a sharp turn and that all the work you’ve done is suddenly going to take effect?  I really feel like i’m at a pivotal point now and it’s very exciting.
