Busy, busy, busy!

It has been half-term this week, but it has been extremely fast, and it barely feels as though I have had a break!

I have had another driving lesson this week, which was frightening! I think I am improving with my steering!!

Louise visited on Monday, where we ate at pizza hut. It was very packed, and neither Louise, or I had enough space to eat dessert.

I have had to apply for my choices for university, including conducting a personal statement. It has been quite stressful, and worrying, particularly if the univeristy do not accept me.

Go, go Joseph!!

Yesterday, I visited London, to see the amazing show, Joseph and the amazing technicolour dreamcoat!

I was extremely excited, and even managed to see a famous individual from the breakfast show, GMTV. Unfortunately, he looked busy, so I did not communicate with him!!

The show began at 3.00, situated at the Adelphi theatre, and it was excellent! Lee Mead was definitely the correct choice for Joseph, because his voice was strong, and deep.

The day was brilliant, but I was a little disappointed that the Jonny Wilkinson statue has been taken from Trafalgar Square. This was because there was a large gathering of Muslims protesting!

Community Occupational Therapist!!

It has been a frustrating week

this past week, particularly as South Kent College completely ruined my work placement!!

I had been told to travel to the Arundel Unit last Monday, where I was to begin my first work placement of the term. Unfortunately, when I arrived they sent me home again, because I was not expected, and they had told the work placement officer that they could not have a student!

The college understood all about this situation, but ''forgot to tell me'' that I was not expected! I was extremely embarassed, and upset, because I had wasted the hospital's time.

I now have a new work placement, which is brilliant! I am with a Community Occupational Therapist, and travel with her to meet individual's with learning disabilities.

Arundel Unit!

I begin my first work placement of the year tomorrow, situated in the Arundel unit!!

I am extremely excited about working tomorrow, because I will be working alongside the Occupational Therapists, which is exactly what I would love to do in the future.

Thankfully, I have a through understanding of hospital work now, and am aware of what I will have to achieve!

My tutor has told me to be assertive, and ask many questions about the roles and responsibilities of the staff.

First Driving lesson!

Friday, I began my driving lessons in Ashford. I was extremely nervous, but excited, and I was even shaking!!

The driving instructor, explained that I was to drive around the block, which was frightening! A few cars overtook me, because I was travelling slowly!! I did the steering, whilst the driving instructor placed his foot on the clutch.

He asked if I was willing to drive home, which was quite far, considering I had never driven before! I agreed, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, particularly driving around the roundabouts!

Driving was an excellent experience for me!
