Yesterday was a stuggle to watch lectures but I managed. Things I did last night and what I'm doing tomorrow.

My parents and I agreed that I should study at my parent's house as I wanted to be away from any distractions at home as that I'm told that to make progress, I need to make my workplace boring, and when I say boring, I really mean "UNBELIEVABLY BORING!"

Yeah, that's not really achievable with my parents but its far less distracting then home. Still, for what it's worth I managed to watch the two lectures and I wrote a few notes. But I'm sure I'll be more productive at the Univeristy's library.

After the first lecture I took the dogs for a walk around town. During which I started collecting litter and put it in the bin and did find quite a bit of rubbish to pick up in get it in the bins. I don't get it? Why is it so hard for people to put their rubbish in the bin???

Last night, I decided to watch the Transformers film Bumblebee. I heard good things about it. Well, I can honestly say that it was fun. I had a good time and it was far superior to Michael Bay's Transformers. Not that I hated them that much, but they weren't that balanced, and clearly Bay needs to take notes when he watches this film.

Today, I hoped to get into a live Yoga session hosted at GREFest but I found it really hard and frustrating. I don't know why, maybe I didn't really book a session? They told me to get into Microsoft Teams, but I didn't have much success.

I've still not heard anything from Wady and Brett, a local corner market that was hiring. I did an interview there weeks ago and I explained how my skills and history would make me a great candidate for working there. I keep being told it's in the air. (Sigh)

All I can hope for is getting another job in the near future. As much as I want to earn financial freedom, I need to figure out a plan.

I'll explain what I've been doing for years and what I've been good at and maybe there's something to do from there? I don't want to give up.

My University, My carer and My Gmail.

Yesterday, I was told I didn't need to go to the Campus for the rest of the week and I thought this was a warm-up induction to the University and the real learning starts next week. Combine this with no events happening today, I thought I could relax, go walking the dogs with my carer coming tomorrow and spend some time with my parents. Turns out not to be the case, my carer coming today was less than enthusiastic about what I like to do with the carers in future occurrences, and that included walking the dogs. What was worse was that my parents still had not sorted out their washing machine. The problem started a couple of weeks ago when a mouse chewed up one of the cables and caused the entire system to go haywire. After three visits from the electrician/plumber, it was decided the washing machine was a lost cause and my parents would have to get another one. That meant more washing up at my house to do and I hate my washing machine. Worse was that there were online lectures that...

My first day in University and my thoughts.

So today I went to Greenwich University at Medway Campus for the first time, on my own. My course is Environmental Science as I want to make changes to systems to become more environmentally stable to help with various problems we are causing to the environment. I made my video on Facebook about it and got quite a few comments and likes. Along the journey, a friend of mine who works for the government called me and said he'll be here if I need any help. After a visit to a petrol station to get fuel, I managed to arrive to find the Campus to be all but void of energy. There weren't many people around and when I parked my car, forgetting to pay for parking but getting it resolved, thankfully. I ended up wandering around the place, not knowing where to go, despite asking a couple of staff members. It turns out to be a warm-up week, and it turns out that many lectures are to take place online. I managed to a look around in the Library with my card, but without someone to help me to...

September 11th, and the 20 year history of my Au pair

 I know that this is a little late given the circumstances. But better late than never. Today is the birthday is my Au pair, whose job back then was to look after me when I got back from school. He would often have a chicken pie ready for me. A store-bought chicken pie, mind you but a chicken pie, nonetheless. He spent so many years with us. He helped with manual labour as he was very strong and he helped us when we were raising pigs. He was always kind and patient with me, despite my autism. He and his twin brother learnt much of our culture and could speak and write English like a second language.  My parents took me to his home country of Czech Republic, we had a lovely time there. He's now married with a couple of kids so he's moved up in the world and I think I'm overdue for a reunion. It's a shame that his birthday September 11th. The same day that the twin towers were destroyed by those planes. I remember staring at the tragedy on TV and having such switching cha...
