MIA

I have been MIA a little lately but hopefully that is now all behind me!! I have been studying for another certificate for my job at school and have submitted a 220 question self assessment and then a 110 page portfolio to show that I am eligible for the Recognised Prior Learning (RPL) programme. Well, today I had my final assessment done – a lecturer to watch me work in the classroom and 37 pages of questions on areas they weren’t sure I had completed! I had started to doubt myself last week when I received the questions I would be asked today and some of them were totally beyond me. Yesterday we discovered that as I had 2 units with no prior learning in I needed to bring in 2 new units which we did about 6 months ago only to realise they were units for a Diploma!!! No wonder I was starting to doubt my ability!!  Thankfully I passed it all except I need to submit one more exercise (not a whole unit) to my lecturer over the next week or so and then it is done!!! Yippee!
Of course now I’m thinking maybe I should build on those 2 Diploma units and go study some more to go with it…….I think for the moment I’ll put that on the back burner and enjoy the Christmas season. I did have a little down time on the weekend…along with my two daughters we took my four beautiful little grandies to see The Wiggles. What a fun time, they just loved it. Typically the boys were star struck and wouldn’t dance but my darling little 2 year old granddaughter danced like you wouldn’t believe. Such a lovely family day.
Here on the farm today it has been a shocking day – another harvest ban due to fire risk and rain (which at this time of year is not welcome!) so I thought a nice bright summery table was the way to go. I know you are all starting to feel the cold creeping in – one day, I promise myself I’m going to have a white Christmas!













Tomorrow I have a day at home so I’m just about to bring out the Christmas decorations – yes, I know a lot of people have finished but I usually don’t do mine until 1st December.
