Reminded of that, this morning. Walked to the arnison centre with the boys. Unfortunately forgot to put notsolittleanymoreun's pass in my bag.
Ticket machine convinced it was at brasside when we caught the bus home. Would have cost me a lot extra if I hadn't, from experience, already suspected what the problem would be and pointed it out to the driver. It wasn't even as if the route was wrong as the ticket displayed that it was the 64, which doesn't even go to brasside!

Definitely interested to look back, even if I can come to the overall conclusion that it was pretty boring. I've tried to cut it down a bit, so you aren't reading what may as well be a published biography you'd find in your local bookshops.
Passing my driving test back in April was a positive I guess, despite taking much longer than I would have liked. I haven't actually driven a car since that day but that is purely because I don't see the point in paying for the insurance for something I don't actually need yet.
Finally left school back in June too which I personally saw as a positive. A-level results were just below what I had said I would have liked so I did beat myself up a little bit, but I did best in the subject that I cared about most which, after the goings-on from January to July in the first year, didn't seem possible.
The extended summer also meant that I was able to take advantage of my bus pass being valid until the end of July, so took advantage of it and had a few days out on my own which was actually really nice. Far better than just being stuck in the house all day which from then until now has been the case.
The only negative point that is worth mentioning here is that, 6 months after departing the education system, I still haven't got myself into anything permanent. I can easily turn it into a positive in the sense that I am able to carry out some of the regular tasks around the house, but that isn't a strong cure for the boredom of just been stuck in a house all day. I suppose it makes for an easy New Years Resolution, and one that I should actually be able to stick to for once in my life!
As a point relating to this forum, I've noticed that I've been contributing a lot less this past year, mainly reporting rare & odd workings that I've seen out and about. I don't particularly know why that is, but is a trend that I can only see continuing.
MYbe not next year, but you may find you can access a uni course as a mature student, even if it doesn't feel right, now.

As an aside, try to volunteer, even if it's a charity shop. There's always brownie points for initiative.
