Back to school...

.... Well, its back to school for both my daughters today. As I mentioned last year, my eldest daughter is Headgirl and in Matric this year, and so she left this morning with bags and bags of goodies for the new Grade 8 girls that are coming to the Convent and for the other new girls .... shame, she was so nervous but excited at the same time - she worked until late last night making Welcome cards for the girls, laminating them, stapling choccies on, etc. She also had to prepare speeches for today and bible readings etc...
As for my youngest daughter who is now in Grade 10 ........ great excitement to get back to school to all her friends, and her highlight - no German - which was compulsory until the end of Grade 9:)
As for myself, my exams are finally over - they were really difficult and a challenge, but now I will just have to wait patiently for results to see what subjects I can register for this year - Post Grad registration ends on April 2, so for the next few months I might even get to scrapping - my passion - which I never seem to get to. I have a Christmas album to finish and then I'm going to do Wilna's valentines class - love her work, she is so creative and talented. Her class only starts on Feb 1 so hopefully my Christmas album will be done by then.
Off to Bible Study shortly, but hoping to post tomorrow morning too
Lots of love

Half way through - the end is in sight.....

...... Still studying hard, so much work to get through, but as I said the end is in sight - almost there:) So far, the exams have been difficult, but there's no giving up now:) Will study for the rest of today and try to revise best I can in the morning and then off to write my last paper tomorrow afternoon:) I'm going to SO just celebrate after that, Yah!!
Most of the schools started today, but my girls only start in a weeks time, so they still chilling and relaxing at home as most of their friends also go back to school today:)
Love to all
Chat soon

Exams in January......

...are no fun!! Next week this time I'll be on my way to UNISA to write my first exam - HBEDTRD - Philosphy, Theory and Research... Writing exams this time of the year is no fun - wait - I already said that - Anyway, I guess I should stop complaining and get on with learning.

Therefore, my new years resolutions and all the rest that go with it will only be revealed once I
finish my exams. I put my pen down on Thurs 5.00pm, the 15th....... after writing Educational Pshychology, Modern and Postmodern Curriculum. Then ...............I'm going to have a carefree weekend, get my girls ready and sorted for school - go shopping with them, watch a movie or two and when they go back to school on the 21st of Jan, I'll start thinking of what my plans are for this year - in the meantime - back to the books....
