Sucsess

I have a Job or at least the promise of a Job if my refrances back up what i said in my interveiw.

oh my goodness i am soooooo exsited today has been a day and a half. first the prison visit then darrels class which i was late for and had to leave early to get to the train on time.
the the rudest taxi driver in the world who didn't know what a YMCA was let alown where the one in perth was.
then a Job interveiw which i was sure i mucked up and another train journy home talking all the wile to my mother about youth crime.
the the phone call and some mad running around my mainly bemused but happy for me fellow residents.

so if the refreances play out and stuff i will be a detached youth worker in perth and i will be very happy i am sure it is not gonna be easy but i really think that i will be happy in this job.

Praise God because it is all him.

Prison

i was an honory 2nd year this morning as i went to Polment young offenders instertute i didn't get to go with my year due to sevril embarrsising things which i am sure you can look back to this time last year and see.
well it was all a bit of a shock to the system really thesee boys all dressed the same in these tiny rooms eating their lunch.
going around the woodwork room the youth centre the chaplancy it was all really intresting but it just made you bleed that there where so many boys in there it is not a nice place dispite what the papers say it is not a free ride and the fact that sometimes the boys almost choose to be in there does not say good things about our society. lots the think about today

scary thought

well i finished the second draft of my first essay of the term and it dorned on me i only have one more essay, a presentation, 3 reflective reports plus the one that i wrote yesterday and 6 more weekly workplans left. then i will Emily Claire Cowley-McPherson BA. please correct me anoyone if i wrong and i have more work to do as i feel alittle nervouse that have forgotten something big in my estamation.
how weired will it be to have finished and passed three years of sweat and tears comeing to a close and never having to write another essay unless i choose to weired.

police action

so it was our third night out doing detached youth work and their were few kids but lots and lots of police.
quite scary really townhead was dead.
we finaly came up to some kids and had a nice chat with them they were all out of their faces drunk but happy enough and then this van pulled up and 6 police got out and started searching the boys and moving the girls on it was very scary. joy and i exsplained who we were and went back into the church as we were at the end of the night anyway.
later while we were de-briefing we hear this screaming coming from outside we look out of the window and two police people have this little girl on the floor she must have tryed something on with them but it was a shame to hear her crying she was so out of her face she did not really know what was going on.
i really hope that the work that we are doing is going to make some sort of impacked on these young peoples lives this is why i am in it after all.

yikes

spent yesterday with Gordon Kim Steve and Baby we went swimming which was fun. although babys are hard work at times. then Gordon went off to work and Kim Steve and I watched nariea they were really into it which was nice.
Ended with the huges mirgrain though would of been okay if it hadn't been for Gordons friend Abi needing my floor to sleep on and Joy worrying about the childrens address that she was leading this morning.
well being abit mellow dermatic it was quite nice having Abi in my room although i don't know her very well she is nice enough.
did not feel top of the world when i woke up mind.
went over to church with joy and met Ted H who was preaching this morning we all prayed together and got myself landed with the prayer of intersession which i had all of ten minits to prep for. since i have never done a prayer in an CofS it was very dounting i was really really really freacking out by the time it was my turn think i hide it okay though.
went into the hole english lords prayer forgive us our transgressions and so forth which was funny.

Kim and Steve Missed their strain home which sorta sucks as the train company are charging an outragous amount for them now to get home.

Sharring

well i have just gotten back upstairs from the worship room where i was sharing about the project was so nervouse i don't know can stand up infrount of 50 young people and talk absulutly fine but as soon as i stand up infrount of my peers i get really bad stage frirght but dispite that i did okay so not feeling to bad.

got the bargin ipac i bought on ebay this morning it came in the hugest box the office were very bemused it is very cool though very exsited about starting to use it properly in work and stuff.

DULL IS THE WORD

had the most dull day ever am at the stupid state where i am almost better but not quite there and so can't really do all that much so played on evil genius this morning and watched friends this afternoon.
went for a walk down to tescos was tempted to sit in geoges quare for a bit till my tummy reminded me that that would not be a good idea just yet.

getting better

well have stoped with all the up chucking it is just the other end we have to worry about.
dispite this had quite a bussy day yesterday well for a sick person at least went next door to the shop to get some more things that i might be able to eat like rice pudding and stuff.
then i went to the doctors and he grilled me about what youth work was which was quite good fun really felt quite proud of my rasp of the subject. came back and slept for a bit then went out to my final year assesment which was wounderful came away feeling really really really good. i am after all good at what there was no real critisum of my work but lots of how you can mature in your work well and improve the skills that you are developing already.

phew

well the last cuppla days have been a hoot urg.
but first will think about happyer memories went paitballing on saturday and dispite some inital stress it was a really great day was so so so tired by the end of it but got to shoot neil and darrel which was satisfing although they probly shot me more than i got them never mind though.

got home and got sick and thats where i have been the last few days tempirture throwing up dhiroreah saw tummy the works not much fun at all.
Gordon stayed with me on the monday after coming down with it on sunday which was nice made the problible mistake of going to the pics to see mission impossible but such is life.
still no where near well but getting there

living life to the full

i am not the brightest peble on the beach sometimes i managed to miss my last session of my slef help group. it is my last chance to do it and i missed it and i am so so so so cross i guess i can do it on-line but i was looking forward to todays appointment.
class this morning was good even if it made me miss this appointment so thats okay.
elaine suzi and i went for a little walk around the town it is fellowship day so no rush to get back to the college and class was held in a holiday inn this morning.

may day

well as a bank holiday goes i have worked pritty hard but have achevived lots so thats okay.
did a load of prep that so needed to be done and then the team meeting.
srg was well no kids showed up so we had a time of fellowship and clearing out of the office which was instresting because i didn't know what was in the office. think it was alittle hard on Cat though espeshaly as she had a final meeting with James in the middle of it. this seems to be a very hard time for her.
have a really pourly tummy tonight.

weekend maddness and catchup not to mention climbing centers

Gordon and i went for a 10 mile walk along the union cannal and got really excited about going climbing in the ratho climbing center. such a cool place. it honistly defies description it is so cool Gordon thought it was abit like being in a bond movie i wouldn't know haveing never watched a bond movie. have a look click the title to this post and you will get to their site.
it was a goeguse day you could feel the heat from the sun it was wounderful.
he came back to college with me and slept on Joshes floor as we had a meeting about a weekend away with a kingspark batise which we are helping with in september.
getting there was a disaster but i want go into that because i am still upset and annoyed and it has the danger of turning into a rant.
we had nice food they were a nice family we where visiting and had alittle bit of a worship time before tea and the meeting which was fun.
head was quite bad by the time we finished and went to an eve service at destinany church which was very comersal but had good worship music even if it was so load and the lights were herting me got some prayer which was good.
