So, I'm going to see the careers centre people on Wednesday to learn about CVs and applications and then after that I'm officially applying for the civil service.

OH DEAR LORD. I also have to, you know, find out the closing dates for applying for teaching and for various postgraduate schemes, but let's just concentrate on the fact that I have finally made a definite decision about applying for stuff. I almost know I won't get in, but it's a good start, right?

In other news, my back is so much better that I'm debating doing my ironing, and I've removed my pillow from the sofa downstairs. Truly, I am having a rock and roll Saturday. Later on I may order takeaway and watch reality TV all night in an attempt to ignore the real world.

I need to think about it now because I can't abide the thought of having to live with my family while I sort out my life. That, and I hate being disorganised...

If you're scared about the real world then your best option is post-graduate studies! Seriously, it's worked for me!

The thing is, right, I'm not clever enough to make postgrad work easy, and I'm not entirely sure I care enough to work for it. Does that make sense? I would love to keep on learning, but I would also love to have some money and something resemblng structure more than 'well, Deal or No Deal is on after four' which is about all I have no.

OH THE INDECISION. I do fancy having a bash at a different university, though.

I think if you're passionate about something and interested then that's half the battle. Speak to one of your tutors about it and maybe they'll give you some good advice. I do know that funding's got really hard in the arts and humanities world, not that I want to discourage you, but I think the system is changing next year from this year, which was a total disaster and people didn't find out until very late if they could even do their course.

I hav appointments coming out of my ears with the careers people; I know for a fact I'm not in the boundaries for funding, so in term of money that's what's really putting me off. Still, there's always a PGCE, I suppose...

That's horribly organised. I suppose I should be looking at things like that soon... :s

Not that organised, as I forgot to go to the relevant workshop. As such, that's put off until next week. Oops...
