Well, it's official. My practice teacher has recommended that I fail. I'm not surprised, but was desperately hoping it wouldn't happen.
So...PCP on Thursday. I can't really do anything until after that, when they've made their recommendations.
In the meantime, I have a report to write for the panel, my bit of the final report for my placement to do, and an essay due in on Wednesday. While I have that to focus on I'm not worrying too much. I'm trying not to, anyway.
Figuring that I'll have to wait until September to start a new placement, I'm applying for a 6 month job in a Youth Offending Team.

Saturday 7 March 2009
Yesterday I had what I hope will be my last supervision as a student. Scary thought, but good scary. I know it's going to be hard looking for a qualified job, especially because of my relative lack of pre-course work experience, but I'm looking forward to it. Just been able to apply for qualified jobs will be an achievement in itself.
Ideally I'd like to work in a hospice, I've been doing some research and found one job which would be ideal, but it's too early. I know it's unlikely I'd get my perfect job straight away though, and I'm okay with that. I'm hoping to move as well, closer to home. I don't want to be right back home, but I'm a ridiculous distance away now and it would be nice to be able to go home for weekends sometimes.
I've only got three days left on my placement - I had my last key work meeting with the client I've been working with since I started there, which was quite sad, especially because she's got family stuff going on at the moment.
This is part of the reason why I'm so tired of being a student - just getting settled in, being seen as part of the team, service users used to you, opening up to you, then you have to leave.
We used that meeting as an observation (I went in on my day off and cancelled on my mentor for it, so it's a bloody good job it went well!) so I'm busy trying to write it up. I'm nearly at my word limit already and I'm only about halfway through. Luckily, I'm pretty good at editing!
