Lately i have been doing research on what's going on in my local town. What i have uncovered is nothing. Nothing for my age group that is. Ok, so there is an Amateur are club and also a Annan Walking club, both of which i have decided to join as a way of furthering my research into this town. Not only that but a way of hopefully meeting new people and generally gaining some sort of belonging in this town, of which at the moment I'm not experiencing. There are a few outcomes of this i can foresee, I make loads of new friends and enter a new and exciting chapter of my life including many new and interesting people and creating a large social group. OR i could just make a complete idiot of myself and never leave my house during the day due to laughing and much pointing.
Altogether i have no idea of the outcome of this step forward, but at least its not a step off the side of a bridge.
I also received a leaflet that I'm guessing everyone gets once they have turned eighteen encouraging them to vote. I got to thinking and realized (shamefully) that i don't know who my local Mp is. I soon found out it was David Mundell and decided to voice my opinion to him as encouraged to do so in the leaflet. The email soon became a long one about what is available in this town for people of my age group and older and younger and to be honest i am still shocked at the lack of anything provided. This is a conservative area and as you would expect on the local government website, it goes on about improving the local NHS and how more news about what's happening should be put on the TV more often (this i agree with).
So i don't know if i will receive an email or any advancement on the issues i mentioned will take place, i highly doubt it, but as many say lets think positive!
Not much else to update on really.
My first day at work went well, i was seriously clumsy and most probably did everything the wrong way, but as Jane says practice makes perfect. At the end of the day though i felt good, I know i can become good at the job and hopefully go further up the ladder. I am still really looking forward to my college course on mechanics though. Can't wait to start that but also glad to have a job and increase my savings.
