A new chapter in my life begins today. No longer a mature student, but a happy to be alive woman looking forward to life on the other side of University. A box in my life ticked. Its been four years of academic learning and creativity, and for the most part I have loved it. I have achieved what I set out to achieve and I'm now looking forward to life whatever it brings.
So to celebrate the end of my life of learning (within an institution that is, as life is about learning all the time), I will be catching a train to Saundersfoot to spend an evening with my sister, and a day out together tomorrow to Bosherston. Lovely!
When something in my life comes to an end, I usually feel a sense of loss, the thought of "so what am I going to do now?" but not today. Today I feel excited, glad to be alive, glad of the change, and looking forward to what life brings.
Since moving to the village in West Wales last September I haven't had the opportunity to get to know the people here, to ingratiate myself into the community, to get involved. But that is exactly what I'm going to do now. I've joined a Singing Group, we meet on a Tuesday evening, I'm going to be doing a Table Top Sale at the Village Hall on Saturday , and I'm sure I will find lots of other things to do and write about.
But for now I have to go and catch my train ...
