I know it’s been a couple of weeks since I last posted…but lots
of things have happened since then!! Previously I wrote a blog about my short
term goals for the future and I’m happy to report I have achieved almost all of
them :D
The first of which was getting a first this year at Uni :D which I’m very happy to report that I got
:D I know it’s only my second year but it still counts for 25% of my grades and
since second year is the hardest in Psychology, I feel a bit more confident
going in to my third year… :D
My second goal was to pass my driving test as quickly as
possible…this one I’ve only half completed as I passed my theory test, despite
my horrendous lack of revision, although the Hazard Perception part of it was quite
hard….So the last thing I need to do in order to complete this goal is to take
my practical test, which is currently booked for the 13th August (less than 4
weeks away, eeeek). I’m not too worried about the actual test as I feel quite
confident about how my driving is coming along, but what worries me is the fact
I’m doing it at 8.05 in the morning so they’ll be a lot of traffic on the roads
at that time and there’s 3 roundabouts on the route I need to do :( so we’ll
seeee :(
My third goal which I managed to achieve was getting the
position of senior clearing officer at the Enquiry unit, which I’m really happy
about. I was confident going into the interview (maybe a bit too confident),
but after the few tests we had to do I started to really doubt whether I would
actually get it or not…I’m the sort of person that panics about every test I
take whether it’s really simple or like a big exam for university or something,
I slowly attempting to learn to have a bit more faith in my abilities.
Since I have completed the majority of these goals, I have
decided to set myself a new one…possibly my hardest one yet…but my goal is to
lose two stone by the time summer is over. I say it’s going to be hard because
there is always food in this office!! Especially over Clearing, where everyone
brings in some form of goodies, be it cakes or crisps or chocolate or some
other tempting treats…and it’s so hard to resist when it’s staring you in the
face!!! When you combine me working in the office for the last year with my
love for food and the fact the netball season has been over for a while now,
you begin to realise how I’ve managed to put on TWO whole stone in less than 10
months :( sob sob…I know it’s my own fault really…but I really am going to try and
do something about it this summer (or what passes as a summer in this
country)!!
My only other dilemma right now is in regards to my third
year options….I mentioned previously that I got all the options for my third
year that I wanted, but now I’m wondering whether to change one of them or not
:/ I really do like all the options I’ve chosen at the moment, but I did really
well on my statistics exams, and to be honest I didn’t really find the exam or
the course particularly hard, so now I’m wondering since I seem to be good at
it, whether it would make more sense for me to take it for third year instead
of the mental health module which I have no experience in whatsoever… I spoke
to my course leader about it and he said since the module is in the second term
I have until Christmas to make my decision….which gives me plenty of time to
think I guess…
Besides all of that I haven’t really been up to much…Uni has
now completely finished for the summer, so I’m working full time in the Enquiry
Unit at the moment, and I’m still doing my research work in the evenings and
weekends, so hopefully by the time I start back at Uni in September I might
ACTUALLY be out of my overdraft (for once!).
But yeahh….thats it for now :)
Take care xx
