Another nice long lie in. Played a fair amount of Harry Potter OOTP on the 360
Got a fair bit of reading done too. The Cold Moon isn’t the kind of book that I would normally read. If I was in a book store I’d be nowhere near that section, but I’m really enjoying it and I do find myself just wandering onto the next chapter just to see what happens.

Been thinking about my future a bit recently, partly being fed up of living in my overdraft and not having any sort of qualifications apart from the Academy. I mean yes I have the experience of 4 years at university but I did leave without my degree. I don’t regret that decision, I’m thinking maybe my attention should be turned to a different subject.
So having thought about my “5 year plan”, it is as follows:
1. Pay off the MacBook (£600).
2. Clear my overdraft and start living in the black (£1600 overdraft + whatever amount needed to stay in black).
3. Start saving to pay for an introductory course and then a diploma in Counselling, and find a suitable institiuation for such a course.
4. Get a higher paying job, ideally without leaving AQ (and believe me that is likey to take a loooooong time) in order to speed all of the above up.

I’m not going to be totally unrealistic and hope for it all within a year of two, that’s just not going to happen. Yeah I’ll probably be 30 before I start my course but if it’s something that I want to do then it’ll still be an option by then.
