On Friday evening I received an email from GTTR - the clearing site for PGCE applications - to say that my application had been updated. Cue knot in stomach as I dithered over the login screen - would it be good news or bad? My daughters were sitting next to me threatening to push me out of the way if I didn't log in and find out the answer. And there it was - conditional offer! I will admit I shed a few tears as I was so relieved to get a place (the condition is that I pass my degree - no surprise there). I have today hit the button to formally accept my place on the course so, degree permitting, as from September I will be a full-time student for a year.
Now comes the fun stuff - sorting childcare and finance. Not sure whether my lovely childminder can have both boys before and after school every day, so I may be calling on favours from friends! And, of course, finishing my current module - 1 assignment due in on Thursday then 4 more to go. Oh yes, and we moved back to our house at the weekend, so I'm surrounded by boxes! But at least I've got a connection to the internet again as from today :)
Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit to enjoying my NQT year far more than my PGCE!
