headless chicken

So the day started with Goodison Park, and a telephone role play and interview for the AO job I'm going for. Think it went ok. Just got to wait and see.

Came home and went to bed for several hours as I feel like utter shit with this evil bastard cold I've got, and seriously, every ti,e I start coughing which is all the time, I feel like I'mm going to cough up a lung, and there's this horrible wheezy noise. May have to go to the doctor if it doesn't start getting better soon, cos it feels like my chest is full of phlegm, and no matter how much I cough I can't shift it. It's not pleasant.

Woke up abou half past two when Gary rang me... had a good chat, it was nice to hear from him.

Went online after that to check what time the enrolment for the counselling course was, and found that they'd changed the dates, and apparently it started 2 weeks ago. I was on the verge of packing it in, when I decided to ring them up on the offchance that they still had places.

Phoned the college, and the woman on the phone was so snotty with me when she was telling me that the courses were all over subscribed that I'm afraid I got quite snappy with her, so she put me through to someone else who told me if I came alone early tonight that I may be able to squeeze on to the course.

So I did. I went along, went to the room where they're holding it. Guess how many people turned up?

5. There are 5 of us. Hardly oversubscribed, in fact so undersubscribed that they had to get permission from the principal to be able to run the cousre at all.

Anyway, I'm all enrolled and started my first step to becoming a counsellor. If I enjoy this couse, then it's four years worth of counselling training to come. See how this goes and take it from there. Today went well. I enjoyed it, but I'm not putting all my eggs in one basket or counting my chickens before they hatch even tho I have been running round like the proverbial headless chicken all day. Or at least it feels like it. This morning seems a long long time ago.
