Feels like a new me

Over the course of the last month several things have happened, and to be quite frank, i deserve a kick in the head for not uploading blogs/vlogs about some of it. I'll just end up complaining i've got nothing to talk about next month. Then again, since i'm talking briefly about it now, i guess it doesn't matter all that much.

So the first thing was i passed my driving test. This has been a big goal for me since movin to the countryside since everything is a pretty long distance away and public transport isn't the most regular around here. Along with finally being liscenced to drive, i've managed to get myself a car, which i'm pretty sure i couldn't BE any more pleased with, and i'm certainly not much of a car person.

"But Tim" i hear you say, "You're unemployed. How can you afford to run a car?"

Well thats the next thing. I've now become and employed person, with all the nice things hat come with it. Such as paying the government for the fact that i'm working.

The job itself is fantastic. I'm working in a local primary school (age 4-10) as a personal teaching assistant to a child with cerebreal palsy with the associated speech issues that are the reason for him also being a mute.
The fact that the kid doesn't speak means i'm having to help teach him to sign, which in turn means that i'm learning to sign myself. Which is good. I like learning new things.

Anything else happening in the life of the hairy geek?

Well yes, actually, there is. I'm also converting my parent's garage into a living space (albeit very slowly and with alot of help) so that i can move out there and get a lot more room. This, again, is going to make a huge difference and i'll be able to get back into playing music.

Playing music? yup, i play the sax. Or used to. I recently 'restarted' playing the sax, after a gap of around 8 years. So look forward to some of that this summer on my youtube page

And finally

My trip to japan is finally getting itself booked this weekend. I've been wanting to get it sorted for a long time but didn't know how long my saved money would last me. Now i've got a job i'm, hopefully, going to be booking hotel and flights this Sunday.


So yes. It's been a busy month, a good month, and a month that has certainly changed the direction that my life seemed to have been heading.
