Graduation Day - Week 12

What a Great Day!!!    On the way to the area where the party was being held I couldn't help but reminisce with Alahna, about how hectic that first day was when we ended up running late for the Entrance Exam.  I reminded Julie of it as well after we got there and yes, she also remembered.  I really thought my Uni days had ended before they even had a chance to begin...

Wednesday 23rd May 2012

Unless you are like me and are doing Maths, this will be your last week in the STEPS program.  Today I have my Exit interview with Julie.  I am still apprehensive about the program I have chosen to go forward with.  Being realistic, is it because I am scared to move forward or are there real conflicts here? 

Monday 21st May - Week 11

Well week 11 has just passed me by and now we are at the beginning of week 12!  The final week.  Who would have thought that I would change in so many ways in only a few weeks?  Well, I have.  I have never felt stronger inside myself.  One of the Biggest lessons I have learned during my STEPS journey has been, how to say No.

Saturday 12th May 2012 - Week 10

WOW am I nervous or WHAT!!  I have done nothing but talk about how GREAT it will be once I finally start my Business Degree and here I am, just 2 weeks away from finishing my Entry Program and all I want to do is turn back the clock so I have more time.

Saturday 5th May 2012 - Week 9

Week 9 gone already.  Wow it feels like I only started STEPS yesterday and here we are, just 3 weeks to go!!

Wednesday 25th April 2012 - Week 8

Here I am marching through week 8 and we have a public holiday.  Great opportunity for me to practice more Excel activities so I am better prepared for the Assessment that is coming up soon but I find myself procrastinating AGAIN!!

Saturday 21st April 2012 - Week 7

Week 7 of my 12 weeks of STEPS has come to a close.  One Math test down, two to go, two Computer assessments done, two to go, Four Technical Writing assessments done, one to go and Four PSU assessments done and three to go.  With 5 more weeks to do it all in.  I think I need to stop for a few weeks to let my body catch up with my mind.

Friday 13th April 2012 - Week 6

Well, here I am back at University after having a week off.  I am very glad I did  some work over the break because I feel a little behind as it is.

Today being Friday I am going over what we will be doing in Week 7 in one of my courses.  It is all about Stress Management.  Luckily, I already do a lot of what is suggested.  Having the reminder is very good though so one day, when I look back over this I want to remember to look in my STEPS folder at Week 7 because I am sure I am going to need to read all these tips again.

Saturday 31st March 2012 - Week 5

Week 5

Well, here we are at week 5 with Easter holidays.  I now have a full week to try and catch up on all that I left hanging last week.

My heart just isn’t it.  I am very glad I have this week to catch my breath.

Saturday 24th March 2012 - Week 4

Week 4

Well, we were told at the beginning that something will happen at some stage to hinder our movement through steps.  To be honest I really didn’t believe it would happen to me.  I had organised myself perfectly.  But they were right.  This week my best friend and companion of the last 14 years passed away.

Saturday 17 March 2012 - Week 3

Week 3
Saturday 17 March 2012

Well I am at the end of yet another week of Uni. 1 assessment down for PSU, 3 down for Tech writing and I have studied like mad and think I have finally mastered percentages in Maths. With Maths mastered for this week tomorrow I am going to concentrate on computers. I will get it up to week 5 this weekend if I can. It will free my time for Tech Writing and the Maths I am going to do this coming week. It’s Algebra so I will need a few hours spare to get my head around that. I had a go this morning and decided it would be best to wait until I was next in class. There are a few things that are just beyond my comprehension. I am really glad I am doing it internally.

Saturday 10th March 2012 - Week 2

Tuesday, 6 March 2012
Well the week started out to be so informative its amazing.

On Tuesday I found out that I have been running around, doing every activity, every suggestion, posting every activity to the forum.  It has taken me hours. I thought I was doing the right thing?  Well yes and no but I am the ONLY one who is.  Most students, read over things but ONLY DO assessments.  I'm feeling a bit silly right about now, but hey, its the beginning of week 2, imagine how I would feel had I kept up this pace for 6 weeks before being told - or, asking the question.

I was feeling a little overwhelmed again with the work load but after hearing this I can now pace myself a lot better.  To read the rest of my week click here...

28th February 2012 - Week 1

Well, On our first day we were advised to start a Blog.  A blog?  Seriously?  Who would ever want to read anything I had to say, and more to the point, who would care?  Ha ha,  But I did start a journal, and I am finding that I am keeping a couple of my facebook friends updated as to how my new life is panning out so – Why not make a blog?  At least my lecturers will know I am fairdinkum about doing one.  Saying you are doing it and providing proof are two totally different things, so here we are…  I am going to start by typing straight out of the journal I have written, and then I will try to add to this each day..  Here Goes:
