The countdown continues
I am keeping busy with all that a busy working mother, also studying for a MSc degree needs to do as their annual summer holiday approaches. With little more than a month before submission of assignment 3 (5000 words on leadership development) I met with some of my fellow students yesterday for coffee, discussion and inspiration. I was pleased to find that we were all feeling as confused as each other about the whole thing. Not least because none of us had been expecting to have to write such a thing during July and August!. Our session together was really constructive though, coffee and discussion about leadership, education, experiential learning, and how different people experience their learning in different ways took place in cafe Nero before we moved on to the university library to get books (no really they have books there).
For some reason the library has no air conditioning so we each got some suitable volumes and escaped for an al fresco lunch before going our separate ways. I have got lots of ideas now, I am just not going to do much with them till I return from holiday and then will get down to some intense academia.
The rest of the afternoon was meant to have been about doing some work; I have my annual report to finish off, but I found I wasn’t really in the mood and had lots of other stuff to do. Did some internet, telephone and real banking, went to town to buy Euros and also a few items for holiday including some new cropped trousers and a tee shirt, birthday cards and a present for my nephew.
Today I need to do a general shop, plus all the sun cream and toiletries we need, also need to do some housework including the dreaded ironing. Which makes me wonder why I don’t get on with it!

I remember Leadership well during my BSN courses. I don’t have one during the MSN for some particular reason and I’m glad! Papers are useless timewasters. It’s nice to have classmates that you can meet with in person. I’m doing mine online and will start having to travel to campus for thesis hour meetings with my committee soon. YUCK!
