I do feel that in times of stress and heavy work load i seem to spend more time on bloop procrastinating than i do when i have muchos free time.
I am in the middle of juggling my mental health essay on "How effective community mental health teams are in working with people with dementia" and my I.S on "the impact of working with a service user to promote positive life outcomes following the loss of a limb."
Yeah considering i had to pick what i talked about for both these assignments you'd think i'd pick titles which came across as a bit more exciting! But yeah the mental health one is just so boring that im finding it an effort to concentrate. My I.S is going well though, i hope to hand a draft in on wednesday which will hopefully be about 4500 words.
I have however had a fairly productive day; went to the gym at half 8 this morning, which is actually pretty early for me! Watched some people running the Sheffield Half Marathon whilst i was running on the treadmill (at a much slower rate i might add). Also i actually ran on the treadmill for the first time ever today. When i did the race for life last year all our running was outside through the park etc. I have a fear of running on the treadmill, ive read too many books and seen too many films where people trip or just fly off the end. So yes i was very proud of myself for running on the scary machine. Although i did spend the first 5 minutes holding on the the sides as i ran which as it turns out makes life much harder when trying to run.
I have work at 4.15. For all of 2 hours which seems like such a waste of time and petrol. At least it will give me a break from talking about mental health. Im becoming a social work dictionary of terms like collaboration, psychosocial approaches and person-centred care models. I bore myself i really do.
Im loving the weather at the moment, im back to dresses and leggings and even got my flipflops out the other day which actually rubbed my toes to hell but it was totally worth the pain to feel so summery!
Mums found her dream house of the day, she changes her mind so often now i cant keep up with the new houses she finds. This one is in Hougham and its actually quite nice, a 4 bed terraced bit of cottage. Its a bit run down but i think mum wants a little project, plus its only 99'500 so she'd have cash left over. Its a bit in the middle of nowhere though, i just keep thinking how strange it would be to live in a village out of Grantham. Plus i used to ride round there and its so odd that i know the area and just cant comprehend living there.
Im sure there will be a new favourite house tomorrow though. Were going to look at a few when im back for her Birthday in May. Im only back for 2 days and shes going to try and squish as many house viewings in as possible.
With regards to the ongoing issue of court stuff and all that shiz.....mother has informed the sleaford and grantham journals of what hes done etc....so if y'all see anything regarding the matter at the end of May beginning of June thats why....mother got pissed off at him being a wanker again and finally snapped. I will not say i disagree with what she did as you all know how much i'd like his head on a pole. But my obvious concerns are that he will retaliate in some way. Though hopefully he will be in jail and unable to talk to anyone/do anything except rot for a while.
The joys of extra stress during assignment period!
But no matter....i shall plough ahead and look towards the ball and a lovely holiday and being done with university.
God i've wasted 15 minutes doing this entry. Back to the grind for 45 mins then work.
Later beasts
