(no subject)
I now have ethical approval to conduct interviews! Now that is all sorted, I'm getting quite excited (geek!) about my project, have collected some research today and I am going to start writing up the introduction, gives me something to do for the rest of the day and plus a head start on what is going to be a busy year!
I haven't heard from the buddhist centre about going along in September yet, however not going to stress about that too much as they said they were happy with anytime. The guy I've been in touch with seems very helpful and sweet, should be a nice stay and hopefully I will be able to get enough participants together for when I go a second time to conduct interviews. I may even do a few on my first visit.
It is coming closer to making decisions about what the hell I will be doing after uni. This always scares me. I'm pretty sure I won't be moving back to Scarborough, as much as that is 'home' I kind of want to seperate myself from that feeling and be independent from it. I'm pretty independent as it goes (sometimes too much so!) so that shouldn't be a problem. I'm thinking about doing a doctorate in Clinical Psychology, this will mean having about a year out from academic work (applying before december of next year then start in September of the following year) I could apply as an undergarduate but not many places get given this way. Applying later does mean that I should have relevant work experience and hopefully a good degree, does mean that I will be old before I'm out of education, but it should be all worth it. What i will do in the time between, I'm not sure, work, travel, who knows, maybe I'll end up taking a full time residency at the Buddhist centre as I was initially planning. There are always options.
Anyway, I've sent off my application to the hospital for work experience, hopefully will hear from them soon.
On another note, there are some very special people to me (you know who you are) who haven't been feeling too great recently. Just want you to know that I care for you lots and i am always here for you, even if the phone scares the hell out of me, there is always mail and LJ, will hopefully see you soon anyway.
