Last time on campus for a while



Hi everyone

I took these photos on Monday, it will be my last day on campus for a while. We just finished with our exams and I think it went well, still waiting for marks. I am currently busy with my postgrad in education, so this exam was the post relaxed of all my exams so far. I wrote exams and my other had 6 assignments to do, one of which was an IsiXhosa oral. I put myself into a routine waking up at 7:30 every day and 5:30 on the days I wrote. I also had minimum stress as I've worked hard, given my best and I only have year modules.

It is the end of the semester now and I have a month long holiday till I start with my practical at a school for three months. We went for a school visit on Tuesday and the school is great! I felt welcome immediately. It is exciting and scary at the same time, I am in that period in my life where student life is ending very fast and I am approaching adult life. I have lots of adulting to do this holiday. Jobs to apply and forms to fill in. Being an adult is hard!

I have to admit that I am scared but also excited to see how I cope with a full time job and this three month practical will show me how and if I can. Being a teacher is tiring and busy, but I can also keep managing my time and work effectively. I will talk more about time management in a future blog post.

The weather here has been very strange, it is nice and cozy indoors on campus and the wind is cold outside. I had to layer up for this strange weather.

Have lovely day
xoxo

New beginnings

Image
 Hi everyone I have some great news! In a little bit more than a week I'm moving to my new job. If you are new here, I'm a teacher and I graduated last year. The first term of the school year is already over, so I'm starting in the second term. I took this photo at my recent substituting job at a school close to home. I currently live with my parents in Somerset West and my new job is in Villiersdorp. It's a small town about a hour from my parents' house and about a hour from where my boyfriend studies. I'm moving into the hostile, where I will be doing some duties in exchange for my rent and food. That means no cooking, cleaning and lots of bonding with students inside and outside of school. These last few weeks I've been buying all the things I need, preparing what I want to pack and making lists. I am very exciting and I really can't wait to have my own classroom and move out of my parents' house.  Young adult moving from b...

Third month on Eltroxin New Formulation

Image
Hi everyone It's time for an update, it's been three months since I've changed to taking Eltroxin New Formulation. It is Levothyroxine with different ingredients to bind the Levothyroxine into a pill. My main reason for changing was that I struggle with really itchy skin especially on my legs and as far as I can remember I never itched that bad when I was on Eltroxin. I take my medication first thing in the morning with water and I wait at least half a hour before eating and/or drinking coffee. What I've noticed so far is: The tiredness from before is much better. When I went to the doctor three months ago I was exhausted from doing nothing all day. I would be in bed for most of the day for days on end. That is gone, I get up every day and I get enough sleep even though I'm a full time student. There are still days and especially after a long week that I am exhausted, so I try to sleep till I wake up at least once a week. I'm unsure if the sk...

After exams

Image
Hi everyone It's been months since I last posted, things have been hectic. I'm a final year at Stellenbosch University and graduating next week. Although I haven't posted in a while, I've been thinking about ideas about what to post. My blog now has a Facebook page called Congenital Hypothyroidism. Follow my blog on Instagram too: con_hypothyroidism My exams have been over for weeks, but I'm still recovering. I know this sounds lame, but I'm usually very tired afterwards. It's been lovely, sleeping an average of 9 hours a night, staying in bed watching series and just relaxing. No makeup, rarely leaving the house and wearing my pj pants. This is usually how my holidays start, first I hibernate and then I start doing things I never get time to do. So far it's been mostly lots of sleep, pj pants, nail polish, series, movies, starting to blog again and making my graduation dress. I've been sleeping so much and I promise you I'...
