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.
love jason newland x
