I am a huge fan of fountain pens. One I use almost daily is the Lamy Safari. Its not expensive and great quality. I find it a treat to write with a fountain pen. Even while being a lefty.

Omg that's so strange! I bought Ben one and then he bought me one as a surprise! Beautiful pens!!!
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
I have the most awful handwriting and am so grateful I was born in an age where most of my writing can be digital!
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
Just realised it's the 20th on Wednesday which means I can choose my new modules. Still undecided about going full time but next year all the counselling and mental health stuff comes in which I find much more interesting!
Sometimes I wish someone would tell me what to do... adulting is hard!!!

Talk through all your ideas with J, or us and see the decision that comes out...

I would like to do full time as it means I can graduate in another 2 years rather than 4. In theory it will be about 40 hours worth of work a week, which I know I can do. I've managed 3 weeks worth of work in a week when I've needed to catch up quite easily, so I know I can do it. And I've already checked, the vast majority of work on my counselling courses are done in group and they've already said that they would be willing to give me an extension if the assessment deadline clashes with my uni deadlines. I'm just worrying, what if I'm not good enough? What if I can't cope with the workload? What if I get ill again? Catching up on one module was hard work, catching up on 3 modules will be horrendous!!! And then it will mean starting the final year of my degree alongside the first year of my level 4. Can I cope with that? Or do I do next year full time while I do my level 2 and 3 and go back to part time when I start my level 4?
And yes, I know I'm overthinking this massively...

You are more than good enough, and motivated enough. You will cope with the workload. However, if you get ill again and you’re temporarily not up to continuing, then you defer some until you’re up to doing more - the world won’t fall apart because you have to renegotiate some modules and you won’t be the first student who’s had to pause their studies ......
Oh, and for the record, I left home at 19 so you could say I’ve had to adult for 26 years and I still find it tough

I'm completely in agreeance with Paula. You are more than good enough!

Have been shopping with my parents and then my dad treated me to lunch. It was nice! Feel stuffed though, never normally eat so much during the day! Dessert has had to come home with me!
It might sound silly but I grabbed some toiletries for J to keep at mine and it feels like quite a big step! It gives things a sense of permanence itms? Which sounds ridiculous as I have always been able to imagine myself with him in 20/30 years time, but this is something tangible. It's ridiculous attaching so much meaning to him having his own toiletries at my house but I can be incredibly sentimental!
