to summer school or not to summer school?



Dear flowers,

It was interesting when a lecturer at our on-campus session asked us to reflect upon the entire course which just started two weeks ago. Looking "back" I can't believe how much material we've actually covered, condensing normally twelve weeks of stuff into just four weeks. And funnily enough I've been more on top of things and absorb a lot more content compared to during normal semester. Interesting!

When my boyfriend first brought up the idea of summer school I thought he was insane in the brain ("in the membrane" doesn't make sense to me). There was no way I was going to waste away my precious holidays... stuck indoors... and spend my time studying of all things. But then I realised I wasn't going to start my new job at an after school care until February which meant I had no moolah to spend for the rest of the holidays.

It was then that I started looking into Summer School and I was lucky to find two early childhood units suitable for my electives. One of them is all about the benefits of playful learning and the other focuses on how to integrate PDHPE into your lessons. Both exceptional units that have opened my 'teaching eyes.'

When enrolling into units for the normal semester it became apparent that I get to graduate early next year. Summer school seemed pretty ideal to me at the point.

If any of you are genuinely interested in doing Summer School or even Winter School I believe it is worth it. All you need to do is keep calm and keep up. And there is definitely time to chill, no worries.

My list of to-dos include two major essays for each unit and one final exam on Valentine's day. Not long to go at all. I can do this.

Off I skip!

Love,
Miss Fun size

P.S Thanks for your pushiness and belief in me, Mikey.
