School's Out - At Last!

A red letter day today.  I decided that I would finally blitz the last portfolio, get it finished today to leave me four wonderful weeks free from any study.  Sara had a meeting in Andover this morning and was uncertain how to get to the venue so I agreed to drive her in her car, drop her off, fill the car with petrol and then find a quite café somewhere for a light breakfast and coffee and work on my little netbook.  After filling up with fuel at Tesco I parked in my usual free parking space and sat in Jenny’s Café where I had a bacon bap and a cappuccino and worked on my summative reflection – the last bit of the portfolio.  I wrote over 500 words and was feeling quite pleased with the result when the computer decided to upgrade its software and closed down on me destroying the work I had done (or so I thought at the time!).  Not feeling too happy, I picked up Sara and we returned home.  I locked myself in the family room and re-wrote the reflection and finally completed and printed off this last portfolio to hand into Church House.  Free at last – no more theological writing other than the odd sermon. It’s a great feeling to think that I have now completed all my academic study and work prior to licensing and have completed 50% of my foundation degree course.  Tonight Sara went to a “Pampered Chef” party in Redlynch and I made a few phone calls including one to Mum.  She feels that she is not well enough to come to the licensing which is such a pity.  I do understand her situation as she would have to be away from home for several days.  I’ve promised to send her some photos and will also try and get up to Grimsby before then.
