nearly a year on

And i'm still in peacocks, i started my placement there around this time last year and i now have a 12 hour contract and im actually working about 20 hrs a week. I can't complain i need the money. It has made me think about my future alot, i'm still living at home and i haven't learnt to drive yet, i've spent most of the last year trying to get out of my overdraft while still having a life of sorts. Its not been easy as i've had to take on some of daves costs as he doesn't get any money from the jobcentre (or atleast not often). I'm just about there though but i'm still not quite where i want to be, driving lessons for example may have to wait for another month or two just to be on the safe side. Things at work are in a constant state of change and so my hours are guaranteed to stay as healthy as they are which leads me to wonder if i should pursue my counselling career by doing the level 5 qualification now or if i should wait as it is an expensive course and would be very demanding of my time. I do not want to ask my parents for help with costs as they have given me enough for my education and i'm just grateful that they do not charge me that much rent and still feed me.

I am due to start a placement in the near future hopefully and this will see if i'm really cut out for the profession and also if i can get regular voluntary work it will atleast keep the skills fresh should i have to have a break in studying.

I feel at the moment it would be best to get more money and get out from under my parents feet, im sure they are getting quite fed up of me and dave by now and i would love to have a place to call my own.


Aside from the more serious parts of life, all is good. i hit level 74 in WoW last night and am earning a fair whack of gold from questing. Still saving for my epic flying skill and i'm just over halfway there. I'm trying to up my alchemy as well but can only get herbs when questing and i have to have dave with me so we don't get to far apart level wise.

I'm also slowly working my way through csi dvds, have so far watched series 2,3 and im on disc 3 of series 1. I'm also managing to rent all 3 of the dvds i am allowed to a month, the last one was TMNT which was quite predictable but was enjoyable.

Anywho i need to tidy up a bit before work and have some lunch.
