Limbo
I kind of feel like I'm in a bit of a limbo at the moment. It's an in-between time. I've come back from my 2 years teaching in Northampton and until now I've been having a great holiday. But I'm starting to itch for my year to REALLY start. And I know that won't happen properly until I start my course.
If you don't know I am doing a Postgraduate Diploma in Educational Studies (Hearing Impaired) which in plain English is pretty much a Teacher of the Deaf course. It's a field I've been wanting to work in since I was 16. I think God planted the desire in my heart, cause it started at a church camp one day in one of the meetings and the desire hasn't faded. In fact when my sister started working for an agency that helps deaf people get jobs I was sooooooooo jealous.
Anyway the course is run through the University of Melbourne but they have a Perth Annexe at the Western Australian Institute for Deaf Education, so I'll take my classes there in Cottesloe. Since I got back from Northampton its been a back and forth load of forms and acceptance etc between myself and the uni in Melbourne. But I still have no idea exactly where my classes will be, when they will be (ie: timetable) and when the course starts. I'm pretty sure it's late Feb/early March but I have no idea. They only just sent my enrolment forms last week!
So I'm kinda in limbo, not sure when I start but knowing its soon but not having any information about it. It's frustrating. I want to know these things! I've still got about a month of holiday left. I could go away somewhere if I knew what on earth was going on. AND I have to sort out Centrelink or doing relief to earn some money while I study. It would be a whole lot easier if I could tell prospective schools which days I can relief for them. Grr. Sigh. So yeah, I hope they send me some info soon!!!
