It's coming for us!
So today I decided it was time to start the diet. But I forgot. My breakfast consisted of one raspberry and white chocolate cookie (homemade) and two cups of coffee. But that's salvageable, I reckon. Just eat better for the rest of the day. This is the continuation of a better lifestyle, healthier me type thing I've been trying to do. I've been going to the gym fairly regularly now since about March. Originally it was in preparation for the Race For Life in May there, but that's passed now and I want to keep it up so am planning on signing up for a local 10k in September too. This is to hopefully motivate me to keep it up.
In studying related news, I am now coming to the end of my Access course at college. I have two more assessments (Sociology and Philosophy) and once they are done, and passed... that's me! It's quite exciting. I've absolutely loved being at college and I really feel it has given me a massive boost to my self esteem and confidence. The next step is University in September - Glasgow is my firm choice and I plan to study English and History there. I can't wait, but have to say it's a bit daunting too.
Anyway, this Bank Holiday Monday should be getting used for studying, not blogging so adios!

A multitude of birthdays and discovering interests I never knew I'd have!
First of all I have to wish my lovely Dad a very Happy 60th Birthday today, a (slightly) belated Happy 6th Birthday to Lewis and Happy Birthday to my mother-in-law, Shona!

Well it's the start of week 6 of college today. I, however, am at home today as Miss Shortie is ill again - this time some sort of throaty-coughy bug. So I thought it was really about time to update the blog (I hope I don't end up only ever updating here when one of my children is ill).
I thought I'd talk about the classes I'm most enjoying. Comm. 4 is definitely a fave - it's basically English which was the one class I was actually good at at school. But the most surprising ones for me are my History and Politics classes - I honestly thought I'd tolerate them to get through the course but I'm actually becoming very interested in them - so much so that I was considering getting a book about WWI, even though (get this) it's not something we get tested on. I may have to lie down in a darkened room.
I have to admit I'm struggling to 'get' Sociology right now. There's so much to remember! I've done quite a bit of revising on it over the past week so hopefully it's going to start sinking in soon.
