Word of the week - Sagacious



I was quite looking forward to this week, getting back into the swing of things and enjoying the sunshine on the morning walk to school (that didn't happen) I was mostly liking the fact that it was a three day working week for me, apart from the fact that on one of those days I had to attend college to do a test and have an interview!

Back in November I applied to do a Diploma in Photography at my local college, it's something I have wanted to do for years but have never found a course that is suitable for me. All the courses I have come across have either been too short and not providing a qualification or full time meaning I couldn't work while I was doing it.

When Thursday came I was feeling quite nervous, not so much for the interview but more for the test, I mean I support children in their Maths and Literacy everyday so what if I went for a test and failed it? Luckily there was no waiting around for results as the tests are taken on a computer and the results come up the second you finish taking it.

After passing both tests...Yippee! I had an interview with the Performing Arts tutor, who was really sweet and encouraging, she liked the photos I had taken in to show and said I would be a perfect candidate for the course and I left feeling rather sagacious and pleased with myself!

For your information the word sagacious means clever and comes from 1600's Latin word sagire meaning to be astute.

This word of the week is linked up with #wotw over at The Reading residence.
