break, baby!!

Well it’s official I’m on my 5 month break ( YOWWWWWW) time to party!!! LOL jokes,  but now it's time to train for the Howlong to Canberra ride, The 2 Points.

All in all I’ve nearly completed the first year of my Masters degree in Public Health. Doing it full time has been pretty intense hence the non-existent blogging. The amount of reading I’m meant to do is a lot! 

I think I’ve found a partial solution though - the importance of just concentrating on the main themes of subjects and the core course work. I don’t think that if I had to do it online I would get the work done. So I'm happy that it's face 2 face where I can really be held  accountable.

I’ll be honest, the class discussions are elite. I love them and think they’re stimulating but when it comes to the assignments, mehhhhh, not my fancy. I think I’ve pinpointed the issue of sometimes thinking that I'm not really understanding the task or the question and so then backing my judgement. I’m always questioning myself and my capacity. 

Ahhhh well I can reset, prepare and come back to study in early May. 

For now though I'm turning my attention to the4points.org and the Canberra ride. Check out the site if you haven’t already!

In a nutshell, we are calling on the Australian government to act on childhood stroke research and we are doing this by riding from Howlong (fitting name) 450+ km to Canberra to knock on the doors of Parliament House. If you're interested in participating and joining in, sign up on the join journey page on the4points.org website or if your unable to help in that way, raise your voice on social media by sharing the content on Instagram @4pointsaustralia  

Then I can have a little VACAY when it’s all peddled, said and done! Should get a month or so off.  I’m tossing up between Japan and Seoul or northern Europe, I’ll keep it as a surprise for you guys 😉
