We're now well into the second week of February with the Chinese New Year due to fall this Sunday. It's going to be yet another eventful week. It was graduation last Tuesday week, followed by a night out on Thursday catching a rather isoteric political play by Schiller (one of BFL's favourite writers). The weekend was spent in the country. Catching up with more confirmation classes and taking advantage of the lovely weather, exploring Wittering beach.
Talk about wind swept! While the day was bright and sunny, we hadn't counted on how cold the winds were. That's where I think BFL caught a chill. Poor man ... must nurse him back to health.
This week started with a visit to the IOP - my personal exploration of volunteering possiblities. It was hopeful that they got back to me and spent some time speaking to me this afternoon. However, I've noted two things:-
a) That my CV was rather vague and they hadn't much of a clue what I my experiences have covered thought I thought it was fairly laid out.
b) That they were looking for someone more clinically inclined - since training for such does take a rather long time. Which effectively leaves me the short end of the stick.
However, on the upside, I probably would be working with N who's a psychiatrist trainee working on developing a curricullum on Dementia Care. That would be interesting ...
I did note however that I am indeed quite clueless what I want to do as a career. I do know I want a job but I haven't quite figured out what yet. So back to the drawing board ... I just hope I'd be able to find at times something to help spur me on. I've had probably more rejection that I have encouragement ...
I suppose on the bright side, yet another rejection means one step closer to learning and understanding what I want and need.
Here's to more gritting times ahead ...
