Reading Week - Half way through the semester

Oh well, back home again for a few days.  It's reading week next week; ties in nicely with the graduation ceremonies for those who have done the hard work already.  Even though it is a nice and welcomed break, I do have lots of work to do.  Partly it is my fault because I haven't done anything but I have become demotivated by all the problems I have been having at uni'.

After booking an appointment to see all my course tutors and academic tutor, I received a letter instructing me to attend a course review.  I was pulled up by one of the tutors on the review panel about my participation in the presentation group.  I had missed a meeting due to having a tension headache and missed part of a meeting that wasn't planned due to having a pre-booked appointment with my mentor.  Rather than bring this to my attention, the tutor decided to raise in front of the review panel.........which rather pissedd me off.  I did name the feeling (as we are taught to name our thoughts) and he gave his explanation, but I am still pissedd off about it and am going to have a word with him after reading week.

I think I starting to turn a corner a little bit now in the way of how I am feeling.  I have been reading 'Person Centred Counselling in Action' as part of the notetaking for my essay but have been relating the information to how I feel.  I have been trying to focus more on how I am feeling and responding to throught so that I can look at it from a different perspective.

Sally (my support worker on Tuesdays and a counselling skills graduate) has drawn me up an action plan for reading week.  She has informed me that I had better have it done and she wants to see the work afterwards.  With that in mind, I better pop off and do a bit more-haha!
