January blues?

Wow this has to be the longest I haven't posted anything new, I have been really down lately, I don't know if it is January blues.  If you haven't been reading my twitter updates, I received a letter over the weekend from my university accusing me of plagiarism, I spoke to my academic adviser yesterday and the whole point behind this is that mine and someone else's work looks similar which is incredibly upsetting as I spent ages on that piece of work and I know for a fact I have not copied off anyone as I always do my work at home to avoid this but for some reason last term I've been helping people out and I think it has come to bite me in the bottom as it looks like someone has just copied my work :(

Now I have to go sit in-front of a panel or just my head of school and they will judge me, I will either be let off, have to re-submit  the work or I will lose marks from that assignment, it is just so unfair.  Okay enough of that subject as it is just depressing and I have decided that I am not going to mope around about it, what will be will be after all I can't change what has happened or what someone else has done.

I so wanted this to be the husband and mine yeah, January has been rubbish but I am going to make sure that February is amazing, I am going to try and be positive about university even though I am disliking it at the moment and I will try my hardest in my coursework this term, maybe even start them this weekend.

I have been off ill today, personally I believe it is down to stress as the home life hasn't been amazing since the husband decided to give up smoking.... not the best time since he has SAD as well... but he has decided to try again in a couple of months.  The whole reason behind him quitting is one of my exciting news, in about 9 months the husband and I are going to be trying for our FIRST BABY, I am so excited and he is even more excited about it than me, we would like a little girl and would call her Daisy.

Also having the bathroom finished, the kitchen being re-done and me learning how to drive (booked 30 hours worth of lessons!!) is so we can try for a baby.

The plan is for me to hopefully get pregnant this October - December time, finish my final year at university, give birth and take a whole year off to be with the baby and then return to university to start a postgraduate in IT teaching secondary school level.  I have decided to become a teacher! In ICT (IT) at secondary school level so 11 to 18 year olds, I've always wanted to be a teacher since I was 14 years old and I can't believe I will hopefully be going for it, I have an interview/chat with the postgraduate department at a different university next Monday.

Well that's all my secrets out :) I am very excited, I just hope that this year goes as plans, so far so good in the money saving area... Do anyone of you know of a  good on-line monthly cycle calculator? I am rubbish at remembering my dates and I need to get on top of my cycles asap.

  1. aaawww I'm sorry about the plagiarism issue, I know what it's like the same happened to me. Since I always put something tiny into my work - in photoshop it's a tiny tiny version of my logo or a watermark.
    Hope everything turns out well for you :)

  2. @Kulani, Yeah I am going to have to start doing that as it is so horrible.

    @Usman, hey! Lucky you, I wish I could learn that quickly, it is hard to get to test standard in the UK so normally 30 to 40 hours then how many tests it takes you to pass. Ebay, well that is a secret ;) My husband sells on there, so just bits and pieces.
