Thinking back over the first 6 weeks there are a few things I would like to reflect upon.
1. There are not enough hours in the day, week or, I suspect, year! I am going to have to keep developing my systems and put in place ways to get everything I need to get done, done. 'Work smarter not harder' is something that I keep repeating to myself.
2. A support network is essential. My network includes my family (immediate and extended), friends, colleagues (current and past) and my PLN, based in real life and in various social media arenas. The support these people offer me not only makes me feel good but also gives me things to think about, share and work on in the future.
3. My learning is in its infancy. Which both excites and frightens me. Excited, because I did wonder how I would do out of uni not having projects to work on (silly I know). Frightens me because there is SO MUCH to still learn. I am so pleased to be able to use said network to learn through and with.
4. Balance is essential to maintaining sanity and health. Both of which have been sacrificed recently. I have not had balance but it is very early days and I am so excited about every day at school that I don't really mind at the moment.
I made the right choice, I found the direction I was seeking and as I head out tomorrow for an all day TPL session I will be thinking of my class and will wonder how they are doing.
