And yet more college

well i managed to pass my skills assessment for the advanced cert in counselling, how im not sure but its all good. So i've now finished that one and on thurs i am due to start the Advanced Diploma in counselling. I have yet to secure a placement although there is some more places i can try. I'm looking forward to this course and its a step towards being qualified. Technically after this course i can practice as a counsellor, however for me to be able to practice when the regulations for counsellors are introduced in 2010 i will need a higher level of qualification. Unfortunately i'm not in a position to do that course just yet, i can't afford it and i don't want to risk being too fussy at work as they have been quite accommodating so far and i don't want to push it. I also need the money especially with dave not having a job and not recieving anything from the govenrment.
Least i can come back to it fairly easily as many on my course are older than me (some by atleast 10 years and some more than that) and they are looking to use it to have a change of career.

Aside from college work is ticking over nicely, with an average amount of overtime up until easter atleast and im doing the college development plan slowly in order to get a pay rise (only about 20p and hour) but it all helps.

I'm still playing far too much WoW but thats as usual, recently dave and i have hit the grind from level 73 to 80, boy its taking forever to level. As relief from that i am leveling my solo chars (mainly my shaman (lvl 51 altho give me an hour and it'll be 52) and hunter (lvl 45).

I've been buying csi boxsets of ebay and have now got the first 3 series of las vegas so yays, i was chuffed with series one as i got it all for £8.99 with free postage, so thats my bargain of the month. Should keep me and dave happy til i can afford some more which will prob be about april given things at the mo but you never know.

thats enough waffle for now, time to go play WoW for about an hour or so before bed, early start 2m, i do love morning shifts even if i have to get up at 7 for them, i can't believe i used to do it daily for weeks on end. oh well

xXx
