End of an Era

Well, well, well....
I should have updated this blog a long time ago... Lots of things happened since my last entry.
As some of you had noticed, the PGCE wasn’t heaven for me. Yes, I said “was”, because I am not part of the PGCE anymore. I decided to withdraw from the course more than a month ago, at the end of February. Let’s just say that the pressure was too much for me, and I definitely don’t want to spend the next few years staggering under the impossibly heavy workload. Being a teacher in secondary schools is not for me. I had tried ever since December not to quit, but then, I suddenly wondered why I was trying not to quit? I mean, it’s true that I don’t like failure (who does?), but in a sense, carrying on with the PGCE would have been a kind of failure: I pride myself in knowing what I want and doing all I can to achieve it, but in this case, I knew what I didn’t want, but still did it... Now, comes the hardest part: I have studied during six years and a half to be a French teacher abroad, and I have to accept that, even though it was not entirely in vain, I still need to start again from scratch. Going back to Uni is not a possibly I, for now, want to consider, as I feel like I’ve “wasted” enough time there as it is. So what now? Well, your guess is as good as mine. I am going to look for a job, any job, anything that helps pay the rent. I’ll keep you updated on that.
Of course, there is one thing I desperately want to achieve, that is writing. I haven’t had time in about two years to do much of it, and I am adamant on succeeding, even though it will need time.
Since I am back, I have found a flat (I moved in three days ago), and I have taken some time for myself. That felt good! Now I need to finish unpacking. As soon as it is done, I will put some photos on this blog.
New entries will come soon, as I have loads to tell!
Bizzzzz
