Achievements - mailing list etc
I have, after a few teething troubles, gotten a mailing list sorted. It's for individuals and organisations who deal with trans/gender-variant youth, and trans youth themselves. If you want to be added to it you can reply to this or email/msn jefferypig@hotmail.com. It's for London Pride-based spam to begin with, but will eventually become the trans youth network mailing list as an offshoot of Queeryouth.org.uk. Anyway.
Youth work has been going ok, I'm not expecting us to have equipment so I'm not getting angry about the lack of it now. I basically DO want out of there as soon as I've got this NVQ because I'll have done 18 months work for them by then and if things don't change I'm off, unless they give me reasons to stay. Haven't started this playwork job in Bury yet as I'm still waiting for CRB clearance.
Youth work and Gym Instructing courses are going pretty well, Gym Instructing finishes in 2 weeks with an exam, and then I just have a practical assessment whenever I feel ready after that. Youth work course is all social psychology theory pretty much so it's piss easy and I've done it all before up to now, my only concern about that is the fact all my worksheets I've done on the job are at my line manager's office and I don't see him very often to get them off him to start building my portfolio! Generally though I'm confident that when I get those I'll be doing just fine with no worries, cos the course is aimed at retards.
El and I are still getting on very well and managing to see quite a bit of each other despite the distance. Life's generally pretty good for me at the moment and even though El's a bit stressed over various things recently that hasn't had much of an effect on how we are with each other, which is a relief. |
