OK so I have just had a spanner in the works and I am about to drop oiut of college but on the plus side I can take it back up again in a year and a half! 12 months ago

I’ve been questioning this goal the last few weeks. It seems a long way off. 2 years of study to go in the nursing degree, then a postgrad year in mid. I’ve had offers to go back into music, teaching, and all the study has left me no time to play the guitar or write and that’s been making me unhappy. It’s also made me feel like I have to make a choice. Then last night I volunteered at the red tent festival and it was really beautiful, with pregnant women, babies and midwives everywhere and stories about birth and pregnancy. Then this morning I took my online exam in family health and got 29/30. So…I’m feeling inspired again. I can balance it with the music. I just have to let go of the idea that I might’ve been a rockstar! _{Ha ha..at nearly 37, I think I probably should’ve let that one lie 15 years ago!}14 months ago

After a looonnng break from uni in which I took up the guitar, wrote 12 songs and did a gig, I have had, let’s say a little trouble getting motivated to get back into study. Well..the gig is over and somehow, sitting down to uni work feels like sitting still. So, tonight I’m reminding myself that this is one of my goals too. It’s still moving forward and realising a dream – it just takes a long time and lots of hard work. 14 months ago
