Amazing news isn't it? There was just one disappointment which was Biochemistry in my exam. 22%
22%? Well I felt I had done so so so much better than that. Yet, worry not, I do feel I understood the content and I also passed the module as the other elements were great marks. Pleased for sure!
Overall a 50% pass for Biochem. Not bad as I missed so much of that.
The other results were amazing. My PDP (the thing I added blogs to) got a whopping 85% which I was really so super glad about. I was hoping for a great score there.
Nutrition exam came away with 67%.
All modules were at the very least a 2:2 and most a 2:1.
This first year doesn't count towards the final grade marks yet I have learnt so much about what I may need to do to get a first (I'd love one of those!) and to be honest, I know it's not going to be handed to me on a plate. Yet it seems incredibly possible depending on what else you might have going on in life. For me, I need to work a little less on people's hair styles and spend far more time reading and in the library. This coming year should be far far more interesting. Much less about the core science and more in which I'm hoping to relate to. Immunology, cancer, metabolism etc. I am doubly sure I will be learning so much about myself too and how I can help myself with my own health and diet - she says as she takes a sip of her latte - which would be amazing.
Emailing my tutor who was going to show me some good examples of well written papers and essays got no reply. Well, it is the summer holidays. My brain is a little tuned out too!
Yesterday I took a call from my mental health advisor from uni who is quite on the ball in all departments. She is keen for me to continue to take care of my mental health and feels my physical health is all part of the difficulties dealing with the mental.
To be totally open on this blog though, I have definitely realised that I need to be comfortable in the skin I'm in. I'm a person who loves to be at home, sitting at my desk and not being overly social in public. That's just me. It's who I am. Realising that has enabled me to create a much better inner peace. Ok, so here's the hippy in me showing through now.
I have so many super ideas on how I can create my ideal life and living from the beauty of my laptop. I am super keen to make this happen. It just may mean some more late nights, which I am not so great at.
Today, my son takes his last GCSE and in two days, my daughter finishes too (did I mention they are twins?) I cannot help but feel like punching the air saying "I've done it!" as I realise I actually lived long enough to watch them grow up! Sounds daft now but when they were tiny I was an anxiety filled mess who really wanted to live long enough. I would lie awake counting my heartbeats as it pounded with palpitations (these are the days before I knew I was allergic to gluten!).
Next year (early) they will be able to drive which will give me so much more free time. Although leaving school, they are going to be at college which is directly next to the university! Amazing.
Hoping this will all work out well, I am continuing with putting as much time as possible into my blog posts and youtube videos in the hope that it really doesn't matter how many slipped discs I'm dealing with or what level of arthritis. I can still work and keep myself doing all the things I love.
I'm excited for the future. Just wishing I wasn't filled with doubt about me actually being able to make it all happen.
What about you? How is your future looking? Are you confident?
