Well, as you know, I'm in the process of studying for a Bsc, not the
easyest thing in the world to achieve, but its getting increasingly
hard.
Not only do I have to study, and it must be said, study hard, I have to carry the whole fucking house at the same time.
I live with my parents and younger sister, but I am expected to do the
housework, keep the garden neet and tidy and and all the other little
jobs that need doing.
If I dont, I dont get shouted at, I get sarcasm, and endless complaints
addressed at the house in general, but clearly targeted at me as I'm the
one that has been in the house all day.
My sister works a part time job, but is out full time hours, I have more
than a sneaky suspisioon she is out so long so she does not have to do
any housework.
Similarly my father, who is out 8 hours a day, yet left work years ago, I feel its because he just doesnt want to muck in.
But my mum is the worst, most of the time she is cool, but when she is
even marginally upset, she has a major tantrum. I cant carry on with
this. Dont get me wrong, I love them to bits, but I cant carry on with
the atmospher that its creating and get the results I want from
studying.
I'm thinking its time i moved out I just cant stand it with the shittyness, yet at the same time I love my folks and dont want to upset them.

Another step closer
I've just finnished a Diploma in Work Based Environmental Conservation the other day, its a
fancy name for an NVQ, but its all there on the CV to give me the
practical skills to back up the degree I'm working towards via the Open
University. I am actually glad its finnished and I can get on with me
OU work for a few months before college starts again in september.
In september I'll be doing an Arboriculture & Forrestry Diploma, again to add practical skills to my repetroir. I'm not sure what I'll be doing when this finnishes, but it will be either study for another Diploma/NVQ or looking for a job where I can develop my skills & experiance, like an aprenticship.
As for my OU work, I've almost finnished my second module. The other week I switched my degree as the new one has more career relevence, though it shares the same core modules, so I'm in the same place, just working towards a BSC in Environmental Managment rather than a BA/BSC Environment Studies.
OK, so a few of the later modules from the BSC dont grab my immagination as much as those from theBA, but at the end of the day I can go back and study those on their own once I've finnished if I want to, and be able to get a job doing what I love in the mean time.
I'm hoping that once I've finnished with the OU, and I've gained the practical countryside managment skills, and the experiance from volunteering for the National Trust & my local County Council I will be able to get a good job either sub contracting for varius NGO's, or as a team leader for the National parks/Forrestry Commission/ NGO's/ Local Authority or private estate, though by all acounts the latter are very stuck up and "Closed" to anyone not with the right connections.

Hell Yes
I got the results for my first University module this morning, I got a
Pass, the module doesnt offer a distinction so that was the only
information available, but smegging hell I passed it. Thats 15 credits
towards a 360 Credit Bacholers or Science. I am mega chuffed.
I'm currently studying another module, this one is 60 Credits, and due to start two (One 15 Credits, the other 60 credits) in september and two in the spring of 2013(One 15 Credits, the other 60 credits), thats as far as I dare plan, but that means I'll be half way to the degree by this time next year.
Its supposed to be a Part time degree which means I should spend 4 years studying to achieve what full time students get in 3, but I think if I carry on at that rate I'll get it sooner.
Sorry, it isnt that I'm bragging, I'm just well made up. If you'd have told me while I was at school that I'd be studing for a degree, I'd have thought you were a loony.
