Well today was fun, met a group of girls that I will be at university with come September!
We met in a cafe in hyde park and it was pouring with rain so we pretty much all got soaked! It was really nice getting to know each other a bit more finding out where we are coming from, what we've been doing before now etc and it's so strange there's a couple of girls that went to school together then moved away and did different degrees and have now finished their degrees and both ended up in London at the same university doing the same course! And even weirder, there's another couple of girls who pretty much the same thing happened to except they are a couple of years difference in age.
There's still a LOT more people to meet and I think we'll be meeting again before September..
It was also relieving slightly that a couple of people brought their children today and they were the same age as Jakob so I feel less alone. It's hard though - just being out today I missed my babies so much :( but I guess in September I will be so busy I hopefully won't think about it so much
I've just read your whole blog. Wow ... so wonderful. You are really inspiring Charlotte - I have 2 girls (6 and 2) and its been my dream for 9 years to be a Midwife with 2 failed attempts. I know now that THIS is my time and that everything thats happened to me in those last 9 years has been 'making me' as a person - as a Midwife.
ReplyDeleteI really cant imagine doing it all with 2 young children and so, for that, I admire you and your strength and you know what? You're allowed to have days when you dont want to get out of bed, you're allowed to have days when you cry, and you're allowed to have days when you feel crap. A lot of mums struggle with whether or not they're good enough - myself included. Mine stems from a previous crappy relationship but it made me stronger and it made me who I am today.
Go get your dream my lovely, you bloody well deserve it. Dont feel guilty, its the right thing! :-) xx
