Learning again

---

Well I haven't had any more placement offers from VSO since I turned down the Cameroon one which is very disappointing, but I just have to try and be patient I guess. If I don't hear next Wednesday I will call my advisor to see how likely it is that I will get something this summer.

Despite the fact I don't have a placement, preparations are continuing. I've cleared my medical and just need a filling (urgh) before I get the dental go ahead. I've also started my VSO e-learning course. We have one course to do before we go down to Birmingham in April for a residential weekend. It's interesting 'meeting' everyone else who's going through the process, and from a professional point of view I'm really interested in how they set up and progress the course.

On the fundraising front, my running training is going okay. I can run 50 minutes now and am going to try for a full hour this weekend. It is about 8 1/2 weeks until the big race and I don't want to embarrass myself so am not finding it too hard to motivate myself at the moment.
