The I Feel Happy Topic!

I had my first post-COVID school experience (well, a 3-hour Computer Science seminar) yesterday, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I enjoyed having some face-to-face contact with my teachers & classmates, I found the seminar very useful, and on the whole, I’m going to go out and say that it felt remarkably normal!

As good as Zoom is, and as much as I mostly embrace the digital revolution; if there’s one thing this whole period has taught me, it’s that nothing can truly replace face-to-face teaching in a school context!
 
Just done 16km on my new bike and very pleased with myself. Trying to shift a bit of weight after turning 30 and that's the longest bit of exercise I've done in years!

During lockdown, i have found myself going out on the bike more often, as i am trying to lose some weight for a trip to Orlando. This has been moved from October this year to Sept/Oct next year, so i have more time to achieve it now. I am starting to feel a bit fitter but they main benefit for me is that mentally, i feel so much happier and motivated for the future. I pretty sure its the cycling doing that because i get a sense of relaxation whilst cycling, eventhough i'm pedalling like the clappers. Definitely a fan of cycling. Also, i want to fit nicely into some of my Hawaian shirts again ha.

Completed my 2nd year of uni and will be graduating with an FdA (foundation degree), before doing the 3rd completion year for a BA in September all being well! Time has flown!

Congrats @Burbs, all the best for your BA.

The mental benefits are incredible, it's so rewarding. I love the more adventurous side of it too. Been pushing myself on some downhill trails with some decent sized jumps lately.
 
After an incredibly tough (and disrupted) year, I have officially passed the PGCE course at Warwick University and am a qualified primary school teacher :)

Can't wait to get started; just need to find a school willing to put up with me now :tearsofjoy:

That is great news. Good luck with the background support staff.

It’s been an incredibly long few months, but tonight, I’ve finally seen my boyfriend for the first time since January. You have no idea how happy I am.
I can see that there should be an image in your post but it won't display it. Please can you describe the image.
