Welcome to my world

This blog has been set up to track my progress as I attempt to return to tertiary study. Previous study lead me to gain my "National Diploma in Science" and land a job at a local laboratory (Environmental Chemistry Laboratory, Landcare Research, for those interested). While I enjoy my day-to-day work and especially the people who surround me, a group of misfits with strong opinions all bunched together to create a lively and somewhat dramatic atmosphere, I feel it is my responsibility to progress myself for the good of my career. I can have you on the edge of your seat in anticipation as I give a theatrical step by step replay of the days events, yet when it comes to conveying ideas or concluding my work, my brain turns to mush.
"If you aren't going forward, you are going backwards" a direct quote from my line manager which I translated to mean "Doing something, anything, is better than doing nothing". As a result of my over thinking, along with a life long fear of the English language, I now find myself enrolled in summer school under taking a communication paper. Cross your fingers and toes that I make it through this alive and if you are seriously committed, say a little prayer that I might even pass.
