Well, this is the final entry prior to submitting this blog as part of assessment for my diploma. I have enjoyed this program so much. I am extremely grateful and now guilty (as I'm leaving the organisation) for being given this opportunity.
I have so much more learning to do but the seeds have been sown and I am interested in management, coaching and furthering my skills in clinical supervision. I reviewed my earliest blog entries and although the first session feels like it was yesterday in some ways I have developed so much. I often think about work that matters, my time management improved and my drive and recognition of the importance of reflection in my work has allowed me to take time to do this. Although I don't know if I am going to be working again soon, and what sort of work, I know I want to keep learning and keep reflecting on my self, my work and my relationships with others.
Coaching is a really exciting thing for me and I will try to do some coaching to learn more and practice some of the skills. 2 more sleeps to get everything completed and be ready for the presentation. Ok on to it!
So long and thanks for all the fish!
I wonder if I will really get an A?

Well, 3 sleeps til the final presentation of our project and submission of all the assessment tasks. I'm not nervous, yet - a little anxious about the amount of work that I still need to finish and desperate to please the rest of the team. It has been frustrating not having the whole team for the final session as we haven't all been able to get together as a group for 2 months now, so i feel like we're all a bit disjointed.
Life is fast paced and I have had little time to reflect on anything. I'm finishing up with Scope on 23rd Dec and moving to NSW, so my head has been full of tasks that need doing. I am surviving one day to the next at the moment and trying to focus on the next most important thing. So my daughter's party is over, so is her birthday, now on to accepting application for house and organising removalists. I know some things won't get completed or handed over properly. I am trying to let that go and focus on the essential tasks.
However I only have to blink and my focus has shifted to wondering if I should be looking for jobs, or packing up the house, or completing the project or finishing off essential work tasks or getting the tax return done...
I am avoiding talking to anyone who might give me work to do or talk to me about what I should be doing, I am grumpy. Watch out cranky pants is here!
This made me smile:
