Emotional Day!

Well today was'nt mapped out how i planned it. After throwing away Lin's module(not sure why!) and scouting through the bin to find it to put back in my folder it dawned on me i am loosing it! This morning i hit an all time 'low' after doing a group activity showing the good and bad highlights of the past week. I realised that my week has been pretty tough after not getting the support i need at home. I have decicded that things have got to change and people need to realise that my prioritys have changed and i am changing as a person(for the better!)..i am doing this degree to educate myself at a higher level but also to make a better future for my family. After a good burst of emotion i am adamant i am going to be stronger and get throught this!Thankyou to my fellow study buddies for making me feel a whole lot better about things its amazing what a few words or just a smile can do x

I found Lin's lesson very interesting and am getting to grips with the structure i think its almost like a spider web of thoughts and ideas all connecting to each other (if this makes sense!)......i especially liked the part about the psychological big five personality traits...me being the emotional, imaginative openess trait (i think anyway!). This lead me to think about the nature v nuture debate and where i stand with it, i feel i am on the fence at the moment as both contribute immensly to children and childhood. I grew up with a step dad and although i have the biological structure from my paternal dad i beleive i have absorbed traits from my step dad. This course not only teaches you about children past and present but also about your own childhood it really gets you thinking!

Anyway enough of my ranting for now i am going to study... things have definatley changed who would have thought on a Friday nght i would be sitting with my head stuck in a book! so bye for now will be back later with more ha x
