It’s Been a While

It’s been a while since Postie stopped me on the main street.  This is the first time he’s actually stopped me to give me some post though.  And I’m not going to complain as it’s saved me a trip to the post office tomorrow.  I knew my book would arrive today, as I’d be out at uni.  Sod’s law.  And the book has a bit of information that would have been very useful for the assignment I had to hand in today.  Typical.  Grrrr.  At least Postie’s still kind of being friendly again.  I guess anyway.  But I suppose it’s a long while since The Child chased him down the street yelling “Stop Postman!” at the top of her voice.  I still cringe at the memory.

I had my counselling class today as well.  It’s been a long while since I’ve written essays, but I seemed to do alright on my mini one last week.  I’ll have to wait until next week of course to see how well I did on the one I handed in today.  I still picked up a leaflet with tips on essay writing, as there will be a 2000 word essay to write at the end of the course.  Fingers crossed I do ok.  I’m still enjoying it though, so that’s a good thing.  And I’m beginning to feel more comfortable with everyone now.  And I can’t believe there’s only three weeks left.  Hopefully the next module will start soon after that.  I ought to find out about applying for that really.

I’m not a big fan of Refresher Course though I have to confess.  She’s in my counselling class, and claims to have trained as a counsellor before now.  In that case I’m confused as to why she’s there really.  But that’s not the issue.  It’s the patronising know it all attitude she has.  But never mind.  I’m sure she doesn’t mean to come across that way.  It just makes me uncomfortable.  And I know I’m not the only one.  The rest of us are beginners though in the whole counselling thing.  I don’t claim to know much, and we did cover some of this stuff in my degree.  Only briefly though, which is why I don’t know much.  But if I did, I wouldn’t use my knowledge to belittle others, and patronise.  But that’s just me.  Hmmm.
