You should be writing everyday.
Everyday?
Everyday.
That's how you get better at it. Practice.
What on Earth am I going to write about everyday?
Doesn't matter.
Okay. Well let's start another blog.
Why should I be writing everyday?
I'm chasing my PhD.
At 2am in September 2015 I decided that it was time to go back to the University of Queensland. I graduated in 2008 with my Masters in Speech Pathology Studies (back in the day when we completed it in 2 years, not this 2.5 year luxury). Since graduating I started a 4 week locum in June 2009 at a local private hospital. I still work there now. I just never left. I fell in love with the caseload and my workmates. I work part time. I'm studying part time. I officially started my research in April 2016. I'm also a wife and mother of two. And I've had rheumatoid arthritis since I was two year olds (just look at my hands in any photos).
Since my masters degree I married Rhys, who proposed during my last year of uni. He has been so supportive of my dream to follow my interest in Aphasia into the research world. He's a mechanical engineer. And he understands my research. I love him so much for that.
My two - ImmiArchie.

| My second pregnancy - March 2014 |
We found out we were expecting our baby girl 3 days after getting home from our honeymoon. Considering my medical history I thought we would be lucky to be pregnant by 2014, but in June 2011 I found myself holding a squishy little girl, with black eyes that moved in different directions. Her eyes quickly figured out how to move together and they have turned a beautiful teal colour. She's six now, and she is such a happy social little girl. She's a girl version of her daddy.
In my life plan, I was getting married in 2010, because Lisa Simpson (almost) got married in 2010 and I was going to have my first child in 2014 when I was 29, because mum had me when she was 29. 1954, 1984, 2014. And that (now second) baby was definitely going to be a girl. Except from the moment I fell pregnant I always called 'him' a 'him.' Within 3 seconds of the 20 weeks ultrasound we had the proof, there was not going to be a surprise, a little boy was on his way.
He is funny and focused and basically a male version of me. Who falls for reverse psychology every-single-time.
So that's a glossy introduction into the basics of me and my motivations.
