I thought I would write a quick update as I have finally come up with a potential solution to my job issues.
So, coming back from backpacking I wanted to make a real change in my job situation as I have never liked or been fulfilled by my job. I wanted to train in something and have a qualification and a transferable skill so I have made the decision to go back to uni and do a PGCE which is a teaching qualification and specialise in adult literacy and post compulsory education, so basically post 16 year olds. This would enable me to teach 16-18 year olds but also adults so for example going into prisons, working in shelters and other places that I haven't thought of yet!
It is a big decision because the course alone costs £8,500 plus living costs, but I figure that if I live at home and save up this year I can save a fair bit towards this and start the course next September, I was too late for this years in take anyway. It really feels like the right thing to do and I would be going back to my old uni which would be weird but nice too as it is a great place and I still know people there.
On the dating side, the internet dating has been disastrous. No one I have even been remotely interested in has got in touch and I am currently being stalked by a guy off a course I am doing. It is not fun! I've tried emailing a fair few but none have got back to me. I've been asked out a few times in the street lately but not by anyone I even liked the look of. Ugh! I seem to be pulling mingers, to use a British expression
I have been staying up at my sisters because she has been unwell so I have been looking after her and my nephews. I have had good nephew bonding time but I am glad to be home.
