Another Brick in the Wall*

 

We don't need no education

We don't need no thought control...

... all in all it's just a-nother brick in the wall  

*Another Brick in the Wall - Pink Floyd

I have begun my studies again! Yes I am placing my own "brick in the wall". Yay me.

After 6 months leave of absence from my PhD, I am officially back in business as of the 7th Feb. However, I am beginning this week, to get my ducks in a row. I had a great meeting with my supervisor last week, that cemented my ideas, and gave me a clear direction to head off in, on my continuing journey. 

We certainly "don't need no thought control" which is the great thing about PhD study. I got to pick an area that I am interested in and ultimately, I hope I can make a contribution. If you follow me on this journey of part time PhD - which will take years and years - you will, over time, get to know more about community, connectedness, music therapy and community cultural development, than you might ever have thought of, or wished for. I hope that you enjoy!

It's a journey where I fully expect to...

 at times float away...

at times feel like I'm drowning (even though I'm an excellent swimmer!)...

at times lie down wishing never to get up again...

do lots of reading...

procrastinate...

follow the road where it leads.

I am recommencing with the same level of excitement I had at the beginning of this journey, and I believe I am in better shape physically as well as organisationally than I was 12 months ago. Fingers crossed this remains true.

So I'm off to begin my ontology and epistemology. I bet you're hooked now, and waiting with baited breath...
