A sudden change of direction!

I suddenly realised as I was sitting in one of my lessons this morning, that the Children's Care, Learning and Development, National Diploma course was definitely not for me. Don't get me wrong, making play dough is fun but I felt that I wasn't being challenge as much as I had wanted. Of course I fully understand that it is very important work, and the responsibility of caring for children is awesome but I realised that my interests lay elsewhere.

I didn't know where I was going with it and I probably still don't. I had been praying the Rosary on the way to college this morning, asking for help about this decision. I certainly couldn't make up my mind by myself (I am not very good at making 'executive decisions'!) Now to be completely honest I find the Rosary hard to say. It seems so long and I am lazy. Given the chance I could probably think of many excuses for not saying it. However, I know that as a Catholic I really should try harder. Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati would have said the Rosary, so I must! Unfortunately, my efforts were far from perfect - I almost fell asleep on the way to college (getting up early is not my speciality). It was a miracle I didn't drop my beads and my prayer book in the process!

Oh dear, I seem to be wandering of the main topic! So, as I was sitting at the desk prodding a green lump of dough, the thought of moving courses kept prodding my mind. Each time more forcefully. By the end of lunch I had spoken to my Tutor, who was very helpful and encouraging! She recommended that I go and speak to someone, which I did and then on my way home I discovered that I had been excepted on the English and History A- Level courses. Personally, that proves to me the power of prayer!

Perhaps God is trying to tell me something...
