I have set goals. That is good. Now I just need to do a little each day to work towards them. When they are acheived I will be so happy and proud of myself.
If I am consistant it will build up and before I know it boom. I'm another great big step closer.
Focus tomorrow is science notes, couple of essays, equation practice (I need a lot of practice for these), essay idea session, science revision, little bit of ethonography and some writing.
Thats most of the basics covered. Adding in section one work starting tomorrow. Hoping once the science notes are finished I'll have a little more time to do other things.
Like I said I just need to keep going. Sometimes the motivation is more difficult, because when I have days like today with so much travelling I just get so tired. I just have to keep reminding myself that if I keep going in the end it will pay off.

Statement of the year from my mom
Speaking about how little I supposedly do around the house, after her precious abusing, swearing like a sailor youngest daughter complained to her. (This being the girl who complains verbally that she is too weak to lift anything slightly heavy just so she can try and get out of it). Also the same girl who I swear could break some sort of record for hours of glee watched continuously (this being in exam season).
My mother said and I quote: "You used to do so much more housework. You used to work for two hours every day. Now I'm lucky if I can get a quarter of an hour out of you."
The ironic thing. This statement was said while I was in the kitchen tending to the large chicken korma meal I am making to feed everyone over the next couple of days.
The total meals she has cooked over the past year = 2. The total meals my passive aggressive sister has cooked the past month = about 1.
I think I make my point. I can't wait to get out of this house. I have a sister who lashes out at everyone when she is in the least bit of stress (as I mentioned, its exam season). And a mother who seems to be terrified of her and will make me be the bad guy just to try and please miss lazybones.
Urgh. Ok, back to work.

Moral of the story
I guess this time the moral of the story is not to speak too soon.
Due to an accident I now have no car, so my job is in very real danger. I can't see myself being able to afford another one any time soon. So my options are to put myself in debt to buy a car so that I can get a job (there is a company I can get work with if I can drive), or to try and go without which in the place where I live means the chance of me picking up another job are slim to none.
This is not a good time for me. Things are really going against me. I could talk about feeling helpless, about the shock I felt during the accident, about how I've no idea how I am going to make ends meet.
Only that would be no use. I've got to hold onto things that will help. If I get a really good score on the gamsat this september then that will be the next four years sorted. Then I can relax and know I am on the route to somewhere.
I've just got to remember that that is what is important. I can't solve everything but if I solve that I will be happy.

Well
The exam went. I don't know if it went well, but I don't think it went too badly. I hope.
For at least the short term my job seems ok. I'm still spending a lot of petrol, but at least its manageable now. So thats hanging in there. I only lasts till late june/ early july anyway. Then I will require other employment.
I've also started my next module. So far it looks like a lot of work. Hopefully it'll be easier than the last one so that it'll take a little less time and worry.
I also spent out on more gamsat stuff. Hopefully it should mean I can fit in more revision. The ukcat is also booked now, for early july. I figuired it would be better to get it out of the way so that I can concentrate on the gamsat as thats the one I really want to do well on.
Today being my day off I have to get a lot done (I'm shockingly behind on biology caused by a combination of the statistics exam and work). I have to have a bath, do two timed essays, science notes, work on my new module, get my braces adjusted, do paperwork for work, more gamsat revision and hopefully go through section one practice test results.
Then tomorrow its work again and I have to figuire out whether I can afford to add in another day of work at a new job somewhere. The current answer is no, but maybe if I manage to catch up on all the things I'm falling behind on.

I have an exam tomorrow!
Ahhh!
Well good point is if I pass it then I have completed advanced statistics and I don't need to go back to it. For a while at least. If I don't pass then I have to resit - which given how much stuff is happening the next six months + I do not want to do. So I have to pass it.
Also loads of drama going on with my job which means I may have to quit. But I'll focus on that only after this exam is finished.
