New Plan of Action

So at the beginning of the year I suggested some goals for the year, I've failed both :(

I still have no more patience with people, however, I am learning to just keep my mouth shut when small things bother me. If my dad wants to make excuses and not just except responsibility for things, so be it. If Jonathan doesn't want to move out, even though he's 29, has a house and just can't be bothered to get it finished, so be it.

Also my other goal of finding a job and moving to Sheffield has been put back a few months. It's amazing that finding out one detail can make a plan go so much quicker. I want to become a teacher but I need experience. For ages, I've been looking for courses to become a teaching assistant (TA) so I can get some experience to apply for a PGCE. I thought that TA courses started at an entry level so I've been looking for entry level courses to then do level 2. However, not the case. One of the leaders at the Guide unit I volunteer at informed me that the start level was level 2. Duh!

So now that I know that detail, I've enrolled on a part time TA course. Found out about and enquired about a course on a Wednesday, got information back on the Thursday, enrolled on Monday, started on Tuesday (sound like that Craig David song :p) so yea, 30 week course and I have to have a placement. I sorted that out on the Wednesday after my course. Going back to the junior school I went to 12years ago, feel so old!

It feels good to finally start working towards my career. In hindsight, I should have picked a teaching degree but hey ho, I didn't know what I wanted to do until the last year of University. Typical!

I wanted to go on holiday this year but that might be a bit difficult now. However, I'm off to London next month with the boy :D Pictures to follow :D

New Year

I'm not going to say that I'm making resolutions as I never keep them. Instead I'm going to say goals as I might keep to them better.

A couple of years ago, I used to be so care free and happy all the time. However, for some reason, I've stopped being so happy and have been quite miserable. As a result, my first goal is to be more positive and patient. I'm quick to temper and I'm very impatient when people don't understand, so that's my first one.  I especially need this goal with my family and boyfriend.
I work in a shop so I always try to act happy even when I'm not and sometimes it can be quite difficult, so maybe if I try to be more positive I'll be a happier person in general.

My second goal is to get a good job and move back to Sheffield, I do enjoy the job I have now, but it's not a career. I think from being at University on my own, I have become quite independent and moving back home has not been the best choice. I think for the sake of my relationships with my family, I need to move out again. Me and my dad have very similar temperaments, so we clash quite often and neither of us will back down. 

I don't think having loads of goals is good as trying to change too much is difficult and to be honest the goals I've set myself do include a lot of change. Moving out to live properly, on my own, in a different city with a proper job is scary. :s

Much love
