Update

I was not able to find a job. Perhaps I didn't try hard enough? Maybe... maybe I did not even want a job?

Everything is a little bit busy at the moment which is great but sucks a little bit.

I am in Mencap on Mondays. It is really great helping the people with learning disabilities as it makes me sort of think about stuff I take for granted. I can feed myself and communicate in such a way that people will understand me. However, for some of the people I have met, it is an immense struggle to do these things.

Tuesdays and Wednesdays are my days off. Instead of making plans with friends, I feel so overwhelmed with having most of my week planned and I end up doing something spontaneous or going out with friends. However, I next week. we may be going Jimmys on Tuesday (my siblings, Anthony, Mohammed and I) and on Wednesday I will force myself to make plans with either Zeinab or Victoria and we will go somewhere green.

On Thursdays, I am in Wembley library volunteering. This is my third year and so the staff love me and we have built a really good rapport. However, I look forward to volunteering her least. After a year of stacking books in work, I have grown tired of doing so. Although, that is not to say that that is my only role. I also supervise other volunteers because I am apparently more experienced. Also, I get to talk. However, the problem is, in a shitty mood, there is so much pressure to smile and communicate and I cannot handle that well.

On Fridays, I volunteer at Sufra. I love that place so much. It is a home away from home. I help out looking after the children and they are so great. Also, I also talk to people and so that is good as well.

Satudays for the rest of this month are earmarked for Sufra, helping out. Sunday is church day.
