Life has been made up of lots of very different things this week. The GTP (Graduate Teacher Programme) meeting on Tuesday was good, and more useful than I'd expected. I came away feeling that this was something I really wanted to do, better informed...but still facing the same obstacles.
Hurdle Number One: I need to find a school that will take me to do the training for a year.
Hurdle Number Two: I need to then apply to the university. They get three applicants for each place on the course.
So I've made some enquiries to some schools. I emailed four asking to come in and volunteer, and have heard back a "no" from one. So next week I start telephoning. At the moment I'm working on trusting God with this and trying not to feel overwhelmed and terrified.
I had a fantastic day on Monday with a friend who came up for the day. We talked (almost non-stop) for the seven hours she was here, had a lovely lunch out and a very peaceful walk in the woods. She is getting married in a couple of months and I am so excited for her! I'm also a little excited for me - I get to take my camera to her wedding and take squillions of photographs. Everybody wins.
This week I have been creating, and it has made me very happy...

This weekend
Fun with friends, a relaxed morning with my husband, food, sunshine (please?), photos, walks, church, lunch out with friends. Oh so many good things, which will start in about five minutes when T gets home from work. That's when my weekend really starts.
I love your mini book! And your photos, of course.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely to see your beautiful photographs :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm glad to hear you are making steps towards your GTP and your future. It's all so exciting! I hope your plans to start phoning this week are going well.
