Life: all change please!!

What happened to me since my last blog post? Nothing, because Red Bee never got back to my boss about the work. With a worsening situation where I lived, and hating being on benefits and alone, I decided it was time for a real change. I started applying to be an adventure activity instructor.

On Friday 28th May I start work with JCA as an Activity Instructor for 4 months. I will be living on whichever camp I get sent to. Sharing a room - apprehensive about that, I am very much an only child and need my own space to retreat into. However, I got on so well with all the people I met at interview, I am really excited about this, as well as being terrified! I will be teaching all kinds of sports and activities and I can't wait.

I don't think this is going to be that easy; socially I am going to find it very hard, for the first few weeks at least. All the arrangements are up in the air and I find it hard to deal with that. I'm looking at it as a fantastic learning experience in which I will learn to be a lot stronger and cope better, just as I did even when miserable in London - and hopefully, a chance to make some awesome friends and have some amazing times! And have FUN!

So yes, very nervous, but bring it on!! Plus it's money and a job and I don't have to worry about food and accommodation, it's included!

What's happening with your TV career, I hear you wonder? Well, I've not given up on it, and I never will. I'm just taking a break for the industry to recover. A fantastic job opportunity arose in London, but now I have moved out, I don't want to change my plans or give up on this adventure instructor job - I am 20, I have plenty of time - one thing I never used to accept - I am going to have fun and learn to be mature, grow up and handle things well now - TV can wait for the moment. But I'll be back.
