I just went and brought my train tickets for uni!!!
\o/
I'm so excited I think I could possible be the first definate case of spontanious human combustion, my library card for the uni came the other day and i've got all the stuff i need to take (papers etc) filed away neatly in my file on the desk, I have my spare pass port photo "just in case" and am starting to wonder just in case of what? i mean if i need to become a member of something and eed an ID card then alrighty then but what if theres a fire? a poxy 4cm by 5cm photo isn't really going to be much, or say theres a flash flood (highly likely in Wales) i couldn't even craft a small kayak out of it and float to safety.
Any hoo I digress, Oooh i forgot to mention that i've already been and brought some new clothing for the week (in June rofl foward planning much?) so that I'll be brimming with confidence and looking like a Primark model of the year while I strut my cut price stuff, and I have a suit case.
I'm digressing again...there was a point to this thread but I'm buggered if I can recall what it was...possibly the fact that IM GOING TO UNI!!!!
yes yes pish posh I know nearly all of you have been or are actually going, but this is me!! me who left school with a few bruises and no GCSEs, me who thought that my days of learning were over and done with and who's parental units best most heartfelt advise was "bah you dont need education, i left at 15 and im alright!" or "go stack shelves in a supermarket...thats all your good for" well tbh i did stack shelves in a supermarket but only to finance my way through college while i got the necessary qualifications to... wait for it... ok all together now..1..2..3.. GO TO UNI!!
you just wait in three years when this course is all done I'll be a qualified librarian with a degree! me! Me of all people with a sodding degree ha! its hysterical really when I think back to being compared to a sibling who's greatest achievement was to go to catering school for a few months and told to aspire to that... "look at her, she went to catering school, and she's holding down a job" (in a shop...) "why cant you be like that, instead of being a waste of space" well now i have one answer to that...Balls!
Sorry euphoric rant here, I guess I should explain it a bit. Basically my family was crap but I thought they were fab and I didn't realise how crap they actually are until 1) i got quite ill and none of them could be bothered to help me and 2) i got a phone call to say they were emmigrating...didn't want to tell me that they were thinking about it incase i caused a scene.
So anyway for the last few years I've been going through some issues, mainly the "how could i have been so blind" issue, and ever since I totally got rid of the lot of them my life has been going up and up and up, i've been doing things i never thought possible (not the splits though...can't quite manage that particular demon, close though) and actually have had support and encouragement (ty B2 and his folks) rather than negativity and discouragement and blimey what a difference it makes to be told to go try something rather than hearing 28 different reasons why you shouldnt bother.
So my lovelies, if any of you have ever thought you really want to do something but have been discouraged (by yourself or by another)...when i first said i wanted to be a librarian at ooh about 7 years old (I was in a cake shop and the woman did the "what do you want to be when you grow up" thing) i was dragged out and humilliated "librarian?? *voice rich with distain* you drip! your going to be an actress!!" so i forgot all about it...untill i was like 25, long time eh?
anyhoo if theres something you really want to do then go do it, Hesus christos if I can then i shit you not, any one can you just need to cut the ropes holding you back and go for it.
You can do eeeet!!!
