Note the capital “C” in that title. It feels like I’m gleefully heading off into the perfect storm. And the worse thing? It’s all my own doing!
January – We headed home to surprise my Dad (yet to be blogged…sorry!) for 10 days.
February – I write exams on the 25th & 26th immediately followed by…
March – MBA lectures for the first 2 weeks (1 subject per week) for while I will have assignments that are due by the end of March; in between catching up with all the work-work I miss by being at lectures for 2 weeks.
April & May – are relatively quiet months, though I need that time to get cracking on my dissertation (which seems to have stalled a bit right now*). Oh, and I will probably have the fun added bonus of wedding planning stuff starting in earnest!
June – Probably the month I am second most excited about this year! I have been accepted to be part of the ESSAM Summer School program in Denmark! Two whole weeks of lectures and group work and company visits and socializing and stuff. The best bit though (apart from this being only the second time I’ve ever been overseas) is that John & I have decided to go 2 weeks early to have a bit of a holiday and a jaunt through Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Germany & wherever else we can fit in. We’ll be CouchSurfing to try keep the costs down!
A long way from home. Approx 10,080km actually.
July – I return from Denmark around the 8th, and then have assignments to submit before the end of August. Fun times! I will also be properly in the thick of things at work and with wedding planning. AND can’t forget that dissertation!!
August – I will be frantically trying to finish assignments for Denmark as well as my dissertation so that I can be done and dusted (or very very close!) by the beginning of September because…
September – we are getting married! Twice! Yay! I have yet to blog about any of this because it’s all a bit up in the air but it basically boils down to wanting a very specific date, which falls on a Sunday AND wanting to have a rip-roaring party…which won’t be on a Sunday. So we’re having two ceremonies. (You want more details I’m happy to oblige-but I don’t want to bore people to tears).
October – Strictly recovery. Maybe dissertation. Definitely work catch up. Possible nervous breakdown.
November & December – To be honest, right now, I can barely think past my exams this February so November & December might as well be another planet!!
Oh and did I mention my Mom wants to visit in March, John’s PhD has to be finished by June (cos that’s when the funding runs out) I have a full time job AND I am the treasured for a local NGO.
I know it sounds like I am bitching and moaning, but I’m not. Not really. I’m super excited and so looking forward to what will probably be the most exciting year of my life!!**
*Breathing frantically into a paper bag NOT that I am panicking about that or anything!
**I accept stress relief in the form of wine and/or chocolate and/or backrubs.
