I'm proud of myself.
Today was the first time I have socialised with Mike since the weekend he broke up with me. And I can honestly say (and I did, to my sister) that he doesn't affect me all that much anymore. I still think about him quite a lot - force of habit, I guess - but I don't feel anything near the pain I used to. Nor the anger, which is another positive step.
One of our friends was dumped by his long-term girlfriend yesterday, which is sad....
I'm starting to doubt myself over this whole "volunteering my way into a new career" thing. Looking at the internships and positions available on the organisation's website, it would seem a biology degree is a fairly standard requirement. But they also boast on their site that their expeditions, internships and traineeships are ideal/useful for people considering a change of career. I should just stop thinking about it, really, and wait until I'm able to chat to one of their representatives this week. Oddly, every time I browse their website I find something new. I have found a traineeship based on one of the expeditions I was considering doing and it has 2 start dates that I could make. But they only take on 2 trainees per start date. However, they don't state what they're looking for in candidates. I'll make enquiries about it anyway. It's not like I don't actually have a degree and 3 years' research experience - it's just not in the right field....
volunteering,
grief,
friends
