Today I am movng the rest of my belongings to my new house. Yipee - can;t wait fro all that lugging around. YAHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Not quite sure where the rest of my stuff s gonna go as my new room i a lot smaller than the old one.

I can't say I love moving - it's such hassle. It's nice to e somewhere new in a way but it's a change in routine which has thrown me off a bit.

I do like the change as well - a bit of a novelty & I now feel more like a student. Now that I'm nearer the college.

Started skills practie group - which is practicing counselling with a patner who is the clent. I find it quite difficult to know what to say as its non directive. Plus its a bit strange being watched my someone else as well (there are usuuall 2 observers)

I now do 2 group skills practice a week & the whole day at college (we also do skills practie on that day too).

Yesterday, during a practice session I started laughing & couldn't stop. Very unproffessional. I was actually recording the session too for a project. So a bit of a waste of time, I guesse. But a learning experience. I know that it wouldn't happen in a real situation, but still a bit dissappointing for me.

When I've moved my stuf, I'll jus relax forthe rest of the evening. Tommorrow I shall be studying. I have 3 pieces of work which I have to hand in by december 7th 2007. (not sure why I put the year?)

So if theres anyone out there who fancies doing my essays - email me.

Only kidding - or am I?

Anyway - Gotta go now & post this blog then head of soon.

I have moved into student accomodation nearer the college. It was a big decision, but the right one for me at this time I feel.

I was having some difficulties with living in the buddhist community, and am glad in some ways to be out of there. Obviously I miss some of the guys I lived with for the last couple of years, but its time to move on.

I'm going to be at college 3 times a week from this week. Once for normal class & twice meeting up with groups for practice skills.

At the moment I'm trying to sort out my finances & keep things going till i get my next student loan. its a bit of a struggle at the moment, but come next year I'll be a bit better off. Just got to be careful till january. When i get m next payment, I'll have more a week to lve on, becuse i'll have less to pay out for.

My new house is lovely & my landlady & landlord are very friendly. I've even made some new friends down the local pub. Which is not somethiing I usually do. I normally keep myself to myself in pubs. Maybe a bit shy.

I'm really geting into the person centred counselling. Its more interesting to me every time I read about it. I think the ide of it all is gradually sinking in & beginning to make sense to me on quit a deep level.

I have wireless internet at my new  home free, & my own bathroom & my own fridge & my own cudboard. Heaven.

The rooms a bit smaller, so not sure where the rest of my belongings are going to go, when i move the rest in at the weekend.

Probably have to hide it all away somewhere.

I've not flt articularly well the last couple of days, but sure I'll be fine.

I didnt do voluntary today, so jut had a day relaxing.

Started to listen to classic fm online. Very relaxing. Infact I'm listening to it now as I type.

http://www.classicfm.co.uk/Article.asp?id=421143

Its good. nice.

Not  sure what to do about volunteering at samaritans, as I've now moved away from that area where i was going to volunteer. I seem to have moved away in other ways from helping people with chronic pain relief. I've been so distracted with everything thats going on, I lose track of time, I guesse.

I havent recorded a new audio or video for ages. I will do some more soon, when I'm settled in here. It'll be easier here because its quieter. Thats one of the reasons i stopped trying to record stuff at my other home, because i never knew when there was going to be noise. Be it continuous traffic outside the house, someone singing or playing loud music or just doors being slammed. There were 5 of us, so bound to be a  bit noisy.

Maybe, i can get down to it &  get back into the swing of things & help more people.

I have changed my website & made it a bit more simple to use. I intend to build it up more & promote it more too over the next few years, all being well.

Ideally, I'd like to have some kind of revenue coming in from it by the time I leave college in 3 years, but not sure how thats gonna happen, as its a free service. Unless more peope click on the adwords on my site, I suppose. That would help.

Anyway, thats enough from me for one day.

hi

It's been a while since I last added an entry.

I'm still an unemployed person - but doing much more voluntary work.

At the moment I'm busy spending time uploading long videos that I recorded onto
lots of different video sites. They take over 2 hours to upload each.

No romance on the horizon, which is OK, but I do get a little lonely sometimes.

The community is going alright. A few arguments now & then, but all in all
I live in a relatively peaceful Buddhist Community.

I videod 2 stop smoking sessions & have uploaded them on my webs site.

Not sure what else to write. Oh yeah - I now have a cd recorded with proper case & cd cover.
It looks really professional.
The content of the relaxation cd has had a lot of possitive feedback.

At the moment it's only available at the charities I volunteer, but I may sort out a version for
my clients worldwide. Some people have asked me if they can buy a cd from me, but up till now
I've not been able to produce any cd's with the proper covers, until now.

At the moment I'm awaiting a letter from the councelling course I applied for. I should find out
by the end of the week whether they want to interview me or not.

So, that's it from me.

Hi

I've been a bit out of circulation the last couple of days, due to not feeling too good.

It may be due to the weather change here in the UK. (why did I say UK? It's not like weather in another country is gonna affect my health).

The weather has changed from really warm - really cold. not liking it. Just feeling a bit rubbish, & unfortunately I still have to go out. I have
an appointment at the job centre. I have cancelled everything elase I had planned today.

I couldn't get out of the job centre interview, as it's my unemployment interview. If I don't turn up, I won't get any money. (that's if they pay me anything?)

Even with a big jumper I'm still cold. I hav the coldest bedroom in the world. Even Penguins avoid it.

Ironically, my head is peeling from sunburn 4 days ago.???????????????????????????? Now I'm getting frost bite in my left buttock.

The good news, is --- big Brother starts here in uk, tonight. Yahoooo!!!  That saves me trying to think of something to do for the next 3 months.
I love BB - its great. By the way, BB = Big Brother. Not Big Boobs. Although, if I had to choose between them????

Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting well again. Although I think I feel better than I did yesterday.

Oh yeah, a wierd thing happened earlier. I waas sitting eating a banana toasted sandwich (the type of food I was eating isn't realy relevant to this story)
& I heard a loud buzzing in my right ear (again, I probably heard the buzzing in both ears, but the predominent volume level was on my right side) I looked
down & there was a huge hornet sitting on my right shoulder. I was so shocked, I nearly stopped eating.
It was huge. That's pretty much the end of the story really. Not much else happened after that, I just put it outside. Mabe I need to work on that story
& inject more drama. Perhapse a love story that ended suddenly due to an unusual tree activity.

So, gotta go & pretend to tidy my room.

Hi

Tomorrow is my last day ar work.

I've been a little concerned about my future, concerning earning an income.

Well, the time has come & I guesse I just have to get on with it. I am having leaving lunch with a few people from work
tommorrow. And that'll be that. I'm not having a leaving do as such. Also, I can't really drink much at lunch as I'm leading
a group relaxation session at 4pm.

So, thats me really. Don't know what I'm gonna do at all. I intend to continue with my website & pain relief & relaxation sessions online.
I'd like to also increase the amount of sessions I do with people locally, but that will have to be later on, as I need to focus on
immediate financial situation.

I'm now going to watch tv.

Hello

I did 2 group sessions today. They were both good. They seemed to go well.

I've got the afternoon off tomorrow.I'm not doing any group sessions.The next one is next monday.

Work is getting very boring indeed. It just seems a bit pointless going there. I'm glad it's only 5 hours a day. Also only 4 days left of working there.
It's gone so quick.

I've re-thought my financial situation & I've decided to put a donation box back on my website. I just need to get enough tio live on.
I only need £450 per month to get by. That's not a huge amount.

I'm not sure if anyone will make a donation, but it's worth a go.

The other alternative,is possibly selling all my belongings on ebay. Admittedly not my first choice.(I wonder why?)

I'm going to continue building my website & promoting my free relaxation & chronic pain relief service. I'm looking at mabe even doing
a live online broadcast. Stay tuned.

Hi

I had a pretty average day today. Slightly tired but feeling ok.

I've only 0ne week left till I leave my job. My last day is next wednesday.

It's community night in 10 minutes & then afterwards, I'll watch tv & upload my blog.

The group session I lead today was with just one person - a member of staff. But I've been assured that tomorrow
will be  alot more people. Heres hoping.

I worked on my cv today at work, & it's come together alright. Quite neat. I think I'm
just going to go for some agency work - 2 or three days a week. That'll do me. I won't start for a couple of weeks.

Oh yeah - I'm experimenting with Sainsburys basics (cheap food). I'm giving it a go, & if it's ok
I'll start making it my main food. MMMM - yummy - poverty - yahoo!!!

Anyway - that's me - I'd better go downstairs & pretend to be attentive.
