Afternoon dear readers, hope you are well. This is my first post for a while as I have been trying to sort out my university application (which has now been postponed), then I got a little bit lazy and couldn't be bothered and when I finally did write a new post the other day, my internet crashed before I could upload it!!
So, anyway. How have you all been? Good, good. Me? Well, I have had to put uni off for another year as it turns out my A-Levels aren't good enough to do the course I want to. I had, mistakenly, thought that as a mature student the rules about qualifications were a lot more relaxed. I was wrong. I needed between 280 and 360 UCAS points (I have just 220) and at least a C in my chosen degree subject, history (I got a D at A Level and the same grade in my other subject, English). But, fear not, there is another option available and I shall instead attend college in September to study an Access to Higher Education Course in Humanities. This should prove excellent preparation for life at uni, so I am happy enough.
I have been feeling a lot more positive since the new year. The decision to return to education has given me a focus and the feeling that I still have the chance to end up in a job that I will enjoy, and that will fulfill me.
Over Christmas my mood dropped and I think this was a direct result of not going out as much. Since I started seeing my CBT therapist he has been stressing the importance of 'activity'. I have been attending my writing group on a Thursday night, which I really enjoy and also went to the monthly pub quiz with Redhill and Reigate Social group. I am also going to get back into cycling with the Crawley Wheelers as I need to exercise more regularly and eat better.
Anyway, that's enough from me for now.
Over and out, Jason
