Looking for ‘Up’s” in life

I am actually going to try and blog more regularly now as I have noticed I am writing less and less and I need to produce more blogs. However this week is going to be a more serious blog as I am trying something new. In the past my blogs would be about my experiences and what’s happening in my life. So I thought I would start jotting down a few of my thoughts and opinions too. Recently in our University of Greenwich Enquiry Unit we had been given extra training in regards to dealing with difficult calls. One of the eventualities is that a caller may call that is feeling depressed and why not as university CAN be one of the most stressful experiences you can face.

As we have now entered into Clearing the stress has now ramped up and I can fully understand how someone can feel a bit low when they hear that the course they really wanted to apply for has now closed for this year.  Most of the places that are available are in science or the engineering department this year although you can call us at 020 8331 9000 for more vacancy information. Anyway what my blog was trying to say is that if you are feeling down or depressed (there is a huge difference between the two) there is always someone to help. For example you can call the Samaritans on 08457 90 90 90.

I always have believed that you can never have a good day without having a few bad days as if you don’t know what a bad day is how you can measure if a day is good. I know recently I keep getting down (not depressed) as now I have finally graduated I cannot seem to get a job. This is piled on a ton of personal problems and mixed in with working full time and it really can get to you but all I keep thinking is that it won’t always be this way and an opportunity is always around the corner. I think a good example of this would be me getting my current job in the Enquiry Unit as I have met some really great people while working here.

Anyway aside from my mad ramblings I have also started looking into first aid courses and I am definitely going to look into revising the languages I have learnt which now have went into decay a bit. On another note I have to say the film “Up” is absolutely brilliant and for all those that say animation is only for kids then watch “Up” as it had a splash of blood, grown up themes and serious messages too. I mainly watched it for the awesome animation techniques used though which are astounding.
