1st draft complete... way over the word count and probably completely off topic

 So I have completely fallen behind on blogging

We've had tier three restrictions, then I moved house and then another full national lockdown so my heads felt a little all over the place!

In all honesty I don't know how I feel about my draft being submitted, on one hand, I'm one step closer to the finished product but on the other hand I feel like I've opened a can of worms as for the majority of the time I felt like I was just waffling on as usual.

But whatever the outcome I do feel like a huge weight has been lifted and I'm ready to take my feedback onboard - full steam ahead until that December deadline!

Would love to know how everyone else is feeling about their drafts?

    Heyy! I agree I have completely come away from the blogging too. Trying to write and submit the essay, blogging did not even cross my mind! It'll be interesting to receive our feedback, well done on getting your essay in and welcome back to the blog! xx

    Hi Georgina, I feel exactly the same about my first draft. It should feel like a weight has been lifted, but I know that this draft will not be my final edit. I am excited to get feedback though and start working on the final draft. Isn't this time going so quickly!? Other than the lockdowns, I hope all has been well with you x

Over and out... for now

 I can't even explain the overwhelming sense of accomplishment I feel after completing my presentation this morning but this photo of me in NZ from 2019 pretty much sums it up!! Firstly a huge well done to Jen, Olivia, Clare, Shelley, Katie, Roanne, Alys, Chloe and Olivia for your presentations. I feel like I have learnt so much from your short presentations alone and the information and ideas you shared were enriching and have given me even more to think about in regards to our wider industry! The journey I have been on throughout the BAPP course has definitely had its ups and downs and on more than one occasion I felt like giving up because I didn't know if I was on the right track or not. My advice to anyone in Module 2, Module 1 or even people considering the BAPP course is to try your best to be open minded to the experience and accept that there really is never a right or wrong answer. Reflecting on my journey has highlighted just how much I have grown as both a practitio...

Is blogging something you can be good or not so good at?

Having never blogged or even considering blogging before I wasn't entirely sure if I was going to be any good at it. - Is blogging something you can be good or not so good at?  - Do people actually want to listen to my ramblings?  - What if I struggle for something to say?  Well I think it's safe to say question 3 isn't going to be too big of a problem, but in all seriousness, what if people don't like my thoughts or the ideas that I am going to blog about? This was a huge deal for me... for all of 5 minutes, and then I realised It doesn't matter! This is going to be my safe space, where I can put out into the world what I'm thinking and connect with others whether they are like-minded or share different views entirely. It's going to be a space for me to grow and learn about myself, about others and about my profession in ways that will challenge me, but that will also reward me. Besides I love talking, more than anything, and blogging is basically thinking ...

Data collecting - what now?

After what felt like a never ending process I have finished collecting data in the form of interviews and like all things BAPP related I feel like I have more questions than I do answers...  Usually this would leave me on the verge of a breakdown however I am taking this feeling in my stride, my approach to learning has changed over the course of the BAPP programme and I know that there is no black or white answer, every line of inquiry in this course is always going to leave me with more questions. Although I tried my absolute hardest to go into this inquiry without any assumptions it was going to be near impossible, after all, I chose the topic of inquiry so I must have had some pre existing thoughts or feelings towards my inquiry focus which was 'does career transition exist in dance?' I did however make several observations during my interview that as I delve into the literature further could evolve into potential themes… Injury    Job sustainability/Consistent employ...
