Ready to go...

Sweet freedom in two days... Yes, that's right! This CELTA course is finally drawing to a close. It's really amazing how fast 4 weeks have flown!

What can I say about it... Hmm.. On the one hand, I'm looking forward to not suffering from extreme stress and the feeling of knots in my stomach anymore, and not having to get up at the crack of dawn everyday. But on the other hand, I think I'll be quite sad once it's all over. Intense as it is, it's been quite an enjoyable course (yes, despite the workload). We've really learned a lot and met some great people.. both of our tutors and all of our students have been so fantastic. :3

I think it's safe to say that we've also probably grown a little along the way. Or at least I think I have. I'm just that little bit more motivated, just that little bit more responsible, and have more of an idea of where I want to go in life. This is completely different to what I felt after graduating from QUT with my business degree -- back then, I had no idea what to do with my qualification and even worse, no desire whatsoever to go into the field I'd spent three years studying for. All of this was accompanied by a constant feeling of self-doubt, and wondering whether I was really ready to go out into the "real world". This time around though, it's different. I feel buzzed, motivated, enthusiastic. I know exactly what I'm capable of and exactly what I need to do.. added bonus that it's something I actually enjoy doing very much. :3

So... Though it's still not entirely clear what the future holds, particularly for the next year or two, at least I'm a little more prepared for it now. I'm finally ready to go. :D
