Last weekend was my graduation! Hooray! I made it. Given everything that had happened over the time I was trying to complete this bloody degree, I decided that the best thing for me to do was to actually attend my graduation ceremony (I didn’t for the last one, but I did for the one before…
Happy International Women’s Day to all of you women out there! On my lengthy drive to work today I started thinking about all the reasons why things like feminism are important to me and I got myself thinking so hard that I’d arrived at work before I’d even hit full swing (it’s a 53km trip,…
Hello everyone! Did you miss me? Probably not. Let’s face it, only about 3.6 people read this blog and I’m fairly confident that, apart from the occasional rando from Europe, about 95% of visitors share my surname.For those of you that are not my stalkerish parents, I’ll let you in on what’s been going on…
Most people look at me with shock, horror and sometimes, (very rarely) awe, when I tell them that last year I worked full time and did two full time uni degrees with a child. Whether they can’t fathom doing it themselves or I truly am mad I don’t know. I tried to explain it to…
To everyone who supported my crazy self this year, thank you. This will likely sound like a bunch of self-congratulatory wank, but so what, I have a lot to sing about today. One degree down. Yessss! The moment I truly never thought would arrive has finally arrived. It still seems a bit surreal. Six very…
Don’t worry, that wasn’t the sound of me biting off more than I can chew! That was me swallowing the last unpalatable bite of university for the year! FOREVER! Sort of. Unpalatable is the wrong word really. The assignments tasted like recycled cardboard and the university’s attitude towards certain things tasted like all the bitterness…
This week I have: A two-day quality and safety compliance audit at work that I am wholly and solely responsible for making sure we pass and will be the end of us if we don’t. 4 (yes, FOUR) university assignments due between tonight and Friday, totalling 7500 words. I’ve been super stressed about this and…
That’s right. I have it all. I am a selfish woman, a bad mother and a terrible wife – all because I want my delicious cake to eat. I get tired of being asked how I find time to work, study and be a mother and wife, as if all these things were mutually exclusive.…
Today marks the first day of a very stressful year. As of today, until I’m notified otherwise by my uni in Adelaide telling me they’ve screwed up again, I am now working full time and studying two separate degrees at two different universities. It is time to get Sheldon Cooper style organised. Yes, I…
This page will be undergoing a couple of them. I’m shredding my veil of anonymity, so I’ll have a shiny new blog name and domain pretty soon. I’ve been accepted into an Associate Degree of Writing. It’s probably not something I actually need to do, but as much as I complain about it, I do…
