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.

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.
