Might as well do this now, I'm bored.

I moved down to Exeter to do my teacher training and that was all good fun - well the moving wasn't, I had to be up at 4.30 and on the motorway by 5 - that was a pain.

Wasliving with 17 other people, who were mostly nice - a couple of people I didn't get on with, but nothing major, there wasn't any outright hostility. Same can't be said for my course. Despite my avowed intention to keep my head down, I still ran afoul of the Queen Bee who pretty much made it her mission to smiley - bleep me off and isolate me. I didn't have the common sense just to ignore it and let her be, and instead I retaliated. Big mistake.

This messed up my plans for living in Falmouth as my potential housemates were also friends with her, and she was bad-mouthinhg me pretty much constantly. Means that insead of living in a house, I'm gonna be in halls of residence down in Penryn, a town right next to Falmouth. Not a big problem, but it was a pain sorting it out.

Exeter was mostly nice, I loved living so close to the sea and got in some amazing hikes, but at the same time I got pretty isolated and homesick and majorly bored and frustrated with the course, to the point where I was discussing dropping out with my tutor. Decided not to but it was close.

Now I'm off to do my real teaching stuff in Falmouth and Truro, which I'm quite nervous about because I'll be a really long way from home and I don't know anyone there. But it's a gorgeous part of the world and I'm gonna enjoy being in school so it should be alright

Have a great New Years everyone
