Happy Birthday to ya, Happy Birthday!...

Well I'm back to week 1 of my new topics. I have another two weeks before I will find out how I did in my assignments and exam. And this week it's my birthday!!! I've hit the books hard all week just so that I can have some 'me' time over the weekend. The waiting for my results is a killer. Plus I could possibly hear from my applied for universities just after Christmas. It's tough. This whole course is tough. I need to know if I'm able to achieve a level of pass that will help me into uni. I'm still working blind right now. Sadly I've lost a friend from my course, but now is not the right time for him. He will come back to the course  next year bigger and better I'm sure!  It may sound like I'm being grumpy but I have to concentrate on myself and my work on this course. I know I gave my assignments my absolute best as I did my exam. I felt elated upon finishing my exam I just hope that elation was justified. This weekend having time with Meg and Larry has shown me the sacrifices to family time of this course, I need to make sure that study balances in with my family. Regardless they are my number one priority, and nothing will shift them off of that top spot. And this week my theme song is replaced by Stevie (as mentioned in title) at least until tomorrow. Then I will be playing my theme again, getting my head back into the books and giving this course what for. All this paddling just makes me stronger, but having had the love of my family turning the tide in my favour I have advanced a long way in a short space of time, and will keep paddling on until I reach my destination.
