Learning

Lockdown has been slightly eased, but due to various health reasons, we (my family) have chosen to stay in isolation. Nothing has changed/progressed with our house move, which is frustrating but understandable. Hopefully there will be some kind of progress in the next few weeks, but we'll just have to wait and see.

As my son seems quite interested in history at the moment (and we are still homeschooling), I decided that I would try to do a short course or something to gain more knowledge on the subject. I found loads of free, short history courses online, and I really want to do quite a few of them. I've started with one on Scottish Highland Clans, as I don't know much about Scottish history. I'd forgotten how much I enjoy history, so I'm pleased to have an opportunity to study it a bit more. It's nice that it's a subject we can learn about together.

Before all this, I was doing an OU degree in Primary Education. I was about half way through, but deferred so that we could move house and sort out everything that goes along with that. Also, to try to start some freelance copywriting work. Well, moving house and freelance work have all been put on hold now. Homeschooling and trying to stay healthy has taken priority, but it is quite nice to be studying something again. I also don't know what will happen with my degree now. I was meant to be going back to it in October, but I'm not sure I want to do that degree anymore. I don't even know if I'll be able to (depending on circumstances). The aim was to go into teaching, but I don't know if I want to now. I'm trying not to think about it too much, as I don't even know where we'll be living in October.
