its certainly been a day of events....

27 March 2007

...starting with last night and the Cert IV in training and assesment....OMG...It is huge.... scarily so...I thought study was over...gone!! ...finished with!! ...then someone mentions.."would you lke to complete the Cert IV".... STUPID me thinks.."Yeah...why not",....Ive done heaps of work toward it already...how much more could there be?. Mmmmmmm...well let me tell you...."THERE IS HEAPS MORE !!!!!" ... I did get credit for two of the 14 units...and I may get some more RPL .... but it still leaves an OMG amount of work to do.

So.... in amongst a family of 3 and usually 4 teenagers...and a full time job....and a passionate hobby....I am embarking on the Cert IV!! ... I have reassured myself every minute of the journey home from Adelaide last night...that this is a wise move for the future...Im just having big problems listening to myself at this stage...and I just know Im going to whinge...LOTS!

..... and on to far more important things..... my Dear DAD had his surgery today....he went in at 7.15am...and I was so relieved when Mum phoned around 2'ish to hear he was doing ok... and although he was obviously sedated... it had all gone smoothly and they werent expecting any dramas....Phhew...what a relief.

.... the next snippet of news is.....MITCH ...got his learners...Yay!!
Im sort of freaking out really....that is just too scary..little old Mitch on the road.... thankfully Ian has offered to take him on his first lessons tonight....

OK...thats it from me...M x

  2. You must be relieved that your dads surgery is over. Heres to a speedy recovery.

    Yay for Mitch.

    And good on you for doing your certificate. It sounds like a good move, and all the hard work will be over before you know it.

  3. So glad your dad's surgery went well and that he's recovering nicely.

    LOL, you remind me of me whenever I start a course. It always seems so daunting at the start. You know, when they give you the course notes that you almost need a forklift for. But just take it one day at a time and don't think about it too much. I'm sure you'll get some more RPL which will make it easier.

    I hope your Dad is OK Mardi, I am wishing him a speedy recovery from his op.

    I had to have a little laugh to myself about the Cert IV because I did it a couple of years ago and felt exactly the same way! Honestly if you need any help at all, just give me a ring or email me - I used it a lot afterwards so I should be able to help you if you get stuck.

    For your prac make sure you pick something pretty easy (doesn't necessarily have to be work related) and that you know well because when you break it down step-by-step even a simple task can take ages. I did mine on making rocky road and had my workmates as the students - the assessor loved it, maybe because he got to eat it afterwards LOL.

    Take care
