My Goals and Aims for 2009


On the 27th March 2009, I turn will be turning 27 and intend to change course with my life.  

How do I intend to do this?  

First off, I would like to start writing a novel and yes I understand this is project that could take years to complete but am i going anywhere, any time soon?  

I am into fictional writing, mystery, majestic, fantasy, action and romance, whilst attempting to find my sense of humour in all of this.  I have never taken a creative writing course but will be attending one shortly, during this time I will be gaining further knowledge in my surroundings.  Using my website, I will air my in-progress raw work, if you wish to comment, please do so, criticism to me is constructive and something that I will need if I wish to move forward.

So we come to my second step; me, myself!  I feel over the past few years, I have lost who I was and need to claw my way back.  And by this, what do I mean? Let me quickly explain;

Before I gave birth to Joseph, I was diagnosed with depression, pre-natal if you will and after giving birth came the onslaught known as Post Natal Depression (PND).  I still struggle to keep my head above water at times but I cope as well as I can do.  With the loving support of my parents I am still smiling, to which I am most grateful for. 

I will focus on what I need from me and my life, this will obviously include my son, of course it will.  So far I have been batting around ideas of HR courses, business administration, even nursing as this is something that I am interested in.  But ideally, I would like to pursue a qualification and career in the Psychology sector.

As for step 3? 

I've always been into Psychology but on a forensic level, that's why I took a photography Bsc a long time ago. However, since having my boy, my view has changed and I want to go into Child Psychology. I will be going via the adult education route, which means I don't need the fancy qualifications that school leavers/college students need today (phew)

I will be applying with Henley College and TVU 
(reading) as they are near and both run the lone parent scheme (provide childcare and accept government funding).

I was originally looking at doing Psychology A/AS Level, just so that I can get the basics and slip right in, being that I have been out of education for a long time and need to get the hang of it again. Hopefully leading into a diploma/BTEC after 
(depending on how I get on). However, with adult education, it is different than normal, most are evening courses and the majority are part-time courses and chances are I will be at Henley college as they supply the better stats in adult education. 

In the longer picture, I would like to be working for social services/the local borough council, in theory that is!


I was told today that I would have to do a AS/A2 Psychology Level, one evening a week, compact into 1 year, 
so it looks like I'm gonna be jammed packed! Prospect is looking higher for Henley college, I've been given a provisional acceptance and will find out in July if I have been fully accepted for the Sept 2009 intake.

Along with this, I hope to complete my Reiki level one but have been told the intake for the next course won't start till August 2009, so looks like I'm waiting out on that one too and
 I wonder if I can find anything to bide my time until then?

I could quite possibly sign up for a short creative writing course for the summer period.

I would do a home study course but feel it is better for me to get the practical side, plus getting out and about, it would be better for me.
