The start of a journey

So,

My PGCE application is awaiting the reference. I decided to be a little cheeky today and chase my referee (it's only been 4 days).

Anyone in this situation will understand just how excited I am, and just how much I want the application to be sent out.

I've decided to keep this blog to document my application, my PGCE and then afterwards. This is of course making the assumption that I get onto a course.

I have applied to Christchurch (which hurts as I got my BA from Kent). The PGCE i've applied for is in RE, i'm not at all religious but it's a path into philosophy and I genuinely think that RE is important in the curriculum.

I shall post again when I receive my reference. I feel like a child waiting for Christmas...how sad that when attempting to persuade people that you can teach you regress to the level you were at before school.

oh, i felt JUST the same when i was applying 3 years ago.

sometimes i feel sad that i've lost that desperate 'need' to teach... but i think with the day to day grind it is inevitable xx
