  It’s been some time since I have written a blog.  I seemed to have gotten caught up with the whirlwind of research and writing up module 2. I have really enjoyed this module and the information and data I am collecting and I am only just scratching the surface.  I found that through reading and analysing texts that others have written. I found myself questioning my practice more than ever and feel I have learnt from it. My reflection journal which started off more as bullet points of things happening that I wanted to look back on, has turned into a diary my thought processes around my practice and questions upon question of protocol and ethic topics of discussion that I encounter every day both in work and life. With how much it has benefited me I hope to carry it on pass this course.  Even though I have really enjoyed the research side of this module. I did find getting it down on paper extremely difficult.

I really enjoyed this discussion as it gave me more of a insight of why and what I am doing in module one. Plus what I had to come in the course helping me understand a outcome. Giving me a chance to reflect on my work further. It also reassured me that even though at this current moment I almost felt frightened of not knowing what is to come that it is completely normal at this point in the course and that at throughout module 2 everything will start linking together, information given to me from the girls in the other two modules. I n the discussion we talked about how we personally are e...
