@Blackcloud studying can be exhausting both physically and mentally. Are you able to take a break and do some self care? Maybe just stepping back for a bit might help to refocus.
Maybe the change will be really positive and something to look forward to.
Be gentle with yourself ❤️

@Gremlin24 I literally just started it not too long ago 😂 There's like at least one thing within a couple of the tasks that's confusing me and with that I normally get frustrated and feel mentally exhausted as a result to try to keep up with it. The tasks I'm doing is relating to an accounting course I'm doing and I do feel I would as well drop out of this course soon as well.
Good thing I went outside this morning and afternoon to go out for a walk and hang out at the same park in the CBD. Had a nice time out there since it wasn't very sunny so it was easy for me to stay outside for longer that way. I'm so glad that summer is already over, except for the fact that starting from next week, there's gonna be a few 30 degrees celsius days happening ahead.. 🤦♀️ I
Can't wait till the day when it's winter, which is why I wish I'd be in Korea whenever it's summer here in Australia as I'd rather be in the cold - or even when the weather is warm, more than anything.
I can't wait to be able to express my own creativities especially for the upcoming folio assessments - yippie!! 😄

@Blackcloud oh i couldn't even imagine doing accounting. Even just the thought of that makes me shudder 😂.
I'm glad you got some outside time in and it's nice when the weather is cooler. I'm over the 30+ degree weather, give me winter any day.
Being able to express your creative side is going to be amazing for you 😊

for real though. in fact, I've always been wanting to do courses that relates to the careers that are suitable for people with really bad social anxiety and can allow us to work by ourselves at at all times without needing to talk to customers, which was why I've picked I.T and accounting mainly cause of that haha! I know that being an artist is also a part of that too but I'm not sure if I really see myself as becoming an artist though.
I was thinking of wanting to become an art therapist which for that one youre required to talk to clients with. And I can hope that with that role, I'd be able to work at a relevant service that's under the NDIS.
perhaps when I get through the course within the next upcoming months, I might be able to show you and other users my work folio? 😄

@Blackcloud i don't know how I worked in customer service for many years cos there's absolutely no way I could do it now. As a kid I grew up on stages doing modelling, concerts, competitions. Yet now I can't even talk to people without starting to panic. It gets me how things can change so much.
I for one would definitely love to see your work folio when you can start that course 😊

@creative_writer it doesn't matter how long it took you, the fact that you did it is a huge achievement.
I'd love to stick around to chat but I'm feeling overwhelmed at the moment and just need to take a step back. There's so much going on and my head is all over the place.
I'll chat to you both another time, i hope you both have a good night ❤️

Thanks @Oaktree, apparently the RSL will also arrange the funeral too. Now that I'm out of favour I'm not going out of my way to fulfill his wishes. First he wanted me to scatter his ashes with those of his 2 dogs in Andamooka but then decided he didn't want to have to pay for me to do that. Second option was Graves End but again he's not paying for me to arrange that either. He's well aware that I don't have the financial means to do either of these things so I've no idea where I'll dump him.
He's very fortunate to have a good friend who has written the will up for him and all he has to do is sign it but the silly old fart can't decide whether to keep the old one or new one.
I'm so glad I get my personality from my mother!
