Keep going... keep going... you get the picture!
I've had a few knock-backs recently... things haven't worked out as i would have hoped so i must keep plodding on. My goal hasn't changed and i must keep focussing on that. There must be 1001 different routes i could take to reach my goal, so time to try a new one.
I've had a invitation to go and give a presentation at a local high school at some point, so that will give me some more contacts. There are a few jobs for me to apply for plus i'm waiting to hear from a couple more. My practice placement is going very well and i have pushed for a review meeting before the end of October.
I have an increasing circle of friends growing here and my social life is starting to wear me out! It's not always 'fun'. Some of it is taking every opportunity to practice my swedish and just mixing more with people and making contacts. So as disappointed i am about something today i have resisted the urge to binge on crap food and have refocussed myself on what it is that i want and what is important to me. I appear to be selfish to some but i have to look after me first... if i can be strong enough for me then the rest will follow.
