Today is a good day!

Would you like to know why today is a good day?

• I did my examined interview this morning at uni and I think I did well. You get watched and examined through a one way mirror as you and your partner (someone random that you don’t know that well from your class) take it in turns to interview each other about a random topic in order to demonstrate you social work interview skills. It’s terrifying and doing badly doesn’t fail you necessarily but being watched by our lecturer and service users makes you want to do well. Which I believe I did...I felt good about it, a few things that I could have done better but mostly good. The main things is that it’s over. Jane and I were first, the rest of our class will have theirs over the next 3 weeks…I can’t imagine having to wait another couple of weeks to do it!
• I finished my Human Growth and Development Essay!!!! 3000 words later and it’s done! I’d written half before today but this afternoon I was feeling motivated from the interview and came home, sat down and wrote. I started at 2pm and suddenly PJ came home and I realised it was 4.30pm and I had just finished. I’ll admit to a few breaks to get a drink and do a bit of facebooking but not much- mostly I was just typing away.
• One of the problems in the Brombley house has been resolved and that makes me very very happy.
• I get to have a night in tonight in order to relax and reward myself for finishing the essay!
• My girls night with Claire and Teresa went very well last friday, it was so much fun and another affirmation that we’re right to be looking at living together.
• Sunday morning I went to St.Ebbes and loved it! It reminded me of Long Furlong and I just really enjoyed it. Have been invited to join Teresa and Claire’s focus group on thursday so may well do that.

There are of course some negative things going on:

• My grandma and grandpa aren’t very well, this isn’t a new problem but with christmas coming up there have been more conversations about it. http://kalbrombley.blogspot.com/2008/11/uncertainty.html
  Read my mum’s blog about it if you want the details. Just keep praying for them and us all. In particular my dad, this is bringing him down and I hate seeing him down.
• I still have quite a bit to do before christmas which is a constant stressor but it comes and goes which isn’t too bad.
• It’s cold! And although I prefer cold and dry to cold and wet…if it isn’t going to snow then I don’t appreciate being so cold! I came home from uni yesterday and got so cold walking back from the bus-stop that I phoned ahead to ask for the fire to be turned on and then proceeded to curl up in front of it for a long time!

 

I think that is everything I have to say at the moment. Today is a good day. Life is going pretty well. I’m happy again. Christmas is coming and I love this time of year.

Things are good.

Much love xxx
