Today was my last working day at the uni until the new year, most people finished last Friday so it was a bit of a ghost town on campus which in someways was nice as it meant I got quite a bit done and feel like now I can switch off from the uni for a couple of weeks.
Mid-afternoon I went for afternoon tea with two of my colleagues who came into the campus for the event, it was put on by the catering staff who run an Alice in Wonderland themed cafe and was delicious.
It’s 11 months since I started lecturing, initially as a visiting lecturer to help out while someone was off sick and then in May got offered a more permanent contract, it was a tough decision to move into an employed role more permanently but glad I said yes as it has given me some stability in my life, and I am hoping in 2022 I can put some renewed energy into my business and make that really work too. I’m excited about the future, a little weary too but determined to make my life work whatever that looks like.
For now, though I’m going to look forward to some quiet days at home, eating good food and watching Christmas tellybox!!
