So... I've officially finished college!! The pressure is off me now...
I have to say, that was one hell out of a course!
Since the end of college, I've been busy! I've been applying for apprenticeships regularly, visiting my boyfriend and catching up with my sister who's finally home for the summer from university.
So far, I've been to Center Parcs with my boyfriend and it was rather lovely as the weather's been kind to us! Although we did get ill because we were rather obsessed with swimming everyday!
After that, I was already off to Bournemouth with my friend for a week and the weather was nice again. I tried to avoid getting sunburns but instead I have funny tan lines on my feet and wrists! Because we both are interested in photography, we ended the week with lots of photographs and instant images! Bournemouth is a really nice place for quick getaways! The beach is lovely and of course water to cool you down. I recommend that you bring a bike or rollerskates for evening beach walks!
It was that time of the year that the NDCS have arranged annual event day at Wicksteed Park for the county's members! I couldn't wait as I hadn't seen my friends from old school since last year! I caught up with my friends on the day, with endless go karting! It was a hot day but managed to keep myself cool by whizzing on the go karts and water ride!
Yesterday, I went to Thorpe Park with the same friend from Bournemouth holiday. This time, I really did get sunburn on my shoulders! It was all down to the ridiculous two hours queue for the Saw ride... During that time, the ride had actually stopped twice! Thankfully, the rest of the rides we went on didn't have long queues. I was really disappointed that the fastest roller coaster, Stealth, was closed at the time... It was one of the rides that I wanted to try out! I would say that Thorpe Park is a fantastic park, despite the queue times, and I recommend The Saw ride!
My summer is not over yet... I have a family holiday to look forward to! It starts next week and we will be staying near Middlesborough for a week, so I'll be expecting to come home very exhausted from hiking and probably biking!
After that, I'm hoping to start an apprenticeship, if I get one. I've applied over 25 vacancies already and not one has invited me to an interview yet. But my applications are currently processed so I'm assuming that they like to take their time!
The appointment from June that I attended for a checkup on my implants. There were no changes, just normal assessments but I had forgotten to ask about the upgrades! As the centre states, patients are entitled to upgrades every five years and my Freedom processor is due already. They haven't said anything and I assume that the funding is difficult at the moment as there are more children being given processors. I've heard some of other recipients are complaining about the lack of attention to our age range because they believe that the team are focusing on younger children.This is unfortunate for us, and I was hoping to get rid of the Freedom processor as it keeps breaking at random times and it depresses me every time it breaks!
A rather long blog post for you...
Enjoy your holidays!
