I'm a mum first - there is no other choice for now. That's why I stay up until 4.30am or later, reading, revising or working on Uni stuff. So I could drop out, or give up. But then I'm a woman too. Uni is a process and not an event! As I go through it I begin to realise there is so much potential to reach for or grasp. If I didn't try, or didn't get Uni brain saturation, then I would be an unfulfilled woman and no doubt a pretty crap Mum.
I'm bound to have a major wobble now and again, like today - at times this Uni stuff is so hard to get your head round, it's scary and overwhelming. Being an undergrad in your 40's with kids, cats, rabbits and baggage is a bit like being an artist painting a picture with many of the colours needed missing..... the main one being 'time' - yet it's also an opportunity to mix what colours you do have and to maybe make some brand new colours. Or so I keep telling myself! ;-)

am sending reds and purples your way in case you're missing those! x
Keep strong Ali... I for one think you are pretty amazing. Keep any doubts at bay.
Lots of love, John
Thanks John.
I was taking an exam the next day and feeling v unprepared for it. Anyhow, did it, no idea how well I've done. I'll just have to wait and see. It was only the 2nd exam I've ever taken.
Oh thx Eleni. I always need reds and purples. Thank you. Now for the pinks!
Hi there,
This is a question for the webmaster/admin here at www.thelifeandtimesofagreenphoenix.blogspot.com.
Can I use part of the information from your blog post right above if I give a backlink back to this website?
Thanks,
Harry
