On Sunday Naima and I moved to an area in Stoke-on-Trent in preparation for starting K-University. Its a preparation course in Chemistry for our PGCE next year.
I was very excited for months - since I knew I had the place. It was gonna be a new opportunity, hope for a better future (Insha'allah) and would hopefully lead me to a career that I would love and enjoy and would challenge me constantly.
However as the date approached I grew more and more nervous - what if i didnt do well? what if I failed? What if I was terrible at Chemistry and everything else? What if I made some horrendous mistake? what if after all this - this was not for me??? Thousands of questiosn whizzed round my head but I had no answers for my own mind.
I got on the train and just hoped for the best.
I've been attending uni since Monday and its been pretty standard methinks - its introductory lectures, easing us into it all.... possibly the calm before the storm??? I shall find out!!
I just hope and pray I do well, even excell in the course and all my hopes and dreams come true about having a career I love and one where I make a useful and beneficial impact on the children I teach, the future.
The house in which I live is pretty standard, even slightly better than normal student digs but I am totally treating it like student digs - my concentration is going to be on studying not being at home or "cosy" in my room. As long as its warm and dry with internet, I'mm pretty happy :-)
Another experience of the week has been the weather - it has been unbelievably cold. I swear I have not been so cold in daytime EVER. Its painful being out and it literally takes a few hours for the hands and feet to defrost even though I'm wearing layers upon layers!
It snowed all day today and we live on a hill which is totally iced over - we have to walk to the bus stop and it feels like we are risking our lives for education everyday. We really are!!
Its an adventure!!!
