Week One Thoughts

So we've had our first official week on the BA PP course! After being nervous, slightly unsure and confused, but mostly excited, it feels great to have had our first Welcome Zoom session, and to have my blog set up and ready for the year ahead!

Our first zoom on the 08/09 gave me a lot more clarity as to how the programme will unfold and it was great to meet other students on the course (I even had the lovely surprise of seeing a couple of familiar faces!). A lot of what we are going to learn and explore is going to be very new to me, and once that would have made me very nervous. Now it excites me, it's new challenges and opportunities for me to grow.

Perhaps this is one of the many benefits of studying for my degree now, later than I had planned to back when I was 17. As I've grown, I like to think I have also matured! :) I put much less pressure on myself now to know everything, be good at everything and be "perfect". I'm excited to take an active part in my independent learning and find ways to improve and reflect on my practice.
