2 Week Challenge: The Results
I suppose I should update on this.
2 weeks ago I said that the next 2 weeks were going to be critical for me - at the end I could be happier than I've ever been, or I could be facing serious problems. Happily, the former has transpired. I had several main objectives I needed to accomplish.
Socially: Find out where I stand with certain people, improve my position if possible, certainly aleviate as much uncertainty as possible. Result? Things have definitely worked out for the best on that one. There's still a few things I'm not sure about, and I won't have all the answers for a few weeks yet, but I at least know what direction I'm facing and I know specifically what questions I'm asking and who. Without wishing to say too much, I now know where I am.
At this point I would like to say that despite the rumours which have been circulating - yet again - I have not and have never been in a relationship, and I am still a virgin. Please ignore anyone who tells you anything to the contrary, it simply isn't true.
University: Sort residual issues with my dissertation, hand in the last assignments on time, hopefully find out I've passed those I've already handed in. Result? Definite success there. I passed the two essays I'd already done with far higher marks than I expected, and I did eventually get my other one in. The dissertation wasn't done as planned - my last way of doing things was unfeasible, so I've had to restructure, but it is now looking viable.
Work: Sort the Christmas/January situation with RBS/Livingston, and submit many more applications for graduate positions. Result? Total success on the former, not so good on the latter. I'm now not working for RBS over Christmas, and tomorrow or Wednesday will see if HR can do anything for me for the future. Livingston is where I'll be in January, which is fantastic. Graduate wise I'm getting nowhere, and it's my own fault of course, but I'm not sunk yet and I'm still looking into things. So overall not bad, really.
So what does all this mean? I'm happier than I've ever been! Overall I'm much calmer, much more relaxed, and generally less stressed out than I usually am. Here's hoping it continues. I'm back in Dumfries next week, but only Monday to Friday, then I return until further notice. Probably be down for a day in February, due to family birthdays, but who knows, not sure yet.
I guess I should go to sleep now, got stuff I need to do tomorrow. Things I need to think about, people I need to talk to. Interesting times are ahead, I feel...
