Journal with Carrie: DAY 3

Hi everyone, before I get on to the piece I have some exciting news. Last night, I received my college grade from UAL and I got a DISTINCTION! I was so emotional and I want to thank everyone again who reads my posts as I don't think I would have carried on this blog if no one was reading. Thank you all so much, I really appreciate you all taking the time to read my posts!

“What is something you are struggling with right now?”

Honestly, thinking of things to write. At the start of lockdown, I had so many ideas that I wanted to pursue, and it was going to be great. I also had more time to write as I wasn’t at work or watching the cricket as I could spend all day watching that (I love cricket). A“What is something you are struggling with right now?”

Honestly, thinking of things to write. At the start of lockdown, I had so many ideas that I wanted to pursue, and it was going to be great. I also had more time to write as I wasn’t at work or watching the cricket as I could spend all day watching that (I love cricket). In the beginning, I could express how I was struggling to adapt to change in life because we had gone from complete freedom to isolation in a matter of 24 hours so I still hadn’t settled into house arrest basically. However, now that life is starting to get back to normal, I found it hard to come up with something that I had written about before. These prompts that I am using every day are so useful as I can just write. I don’t have to think of an idea, I can just let my hands type away and fit in with the idea that has been handed to me. I know that these pieces aren’t long as Carrie suggested that 10 minutes is enough because then you are pressurising yourself into spending hours writing. Something else that I am struggling with is trying to get back to normal. At work, we are trying to teach 2m apart and I know that not many people who will be reading will know how to teach Taekwondo, but let me assure you; it’s bloody difficult. It’s the correcting of people that I am trying to deal with because you have to communicate as much as possible and some people make it really challenging because they don’t listen.

I hope you are enjoying these little pieces. I am enjoying writing short snappy pieces. See you tomorrow!
