College and Counsellors
Well I have just done a much needed update to the ‘about me’ section. Feel free to check it out! =)
my psychology teacher is also my personal tutor. Last week we have one to one meetings with our personal tutor to talk about how college is going, any problems etc before half term (which starts tomorrow, yay!!). The meetings are 15 minutes long and I went for mine and the guy who’s “appointment” was before mine was still in the room. As I sit down he asks if it’s ok if he could stay and I said yes, even though I didn’t really want to. The personal tutor was fine with it, and didn’t say otherwise so I just went along with it because I didn’t want to be rude. In all actuality I wish it really was ‘one on one’ so I could talk to my tutor properly. I am struggling. I’m finding the work hard and I’m just about keeping on top of it and I wanted to talk to my tutor about one of my lecturers but I couldn’t when this guy was in the room. Whenever I started talking about something, he’d butt in then he’d talk and go off on a tangent and in the end I thought what’s the point? To be honest I was bitterly disappointed by it. I had my counselling session in college on monday and I mentioned it to her, and she said I could still talk to my tutor or just unload onto her, which I did.
I think I’ve missed something out of this blog so you’re probably a bit confused… A few weeks ago I brokedown in college, I have so much going on I ended up telling all to my personal tutor and she refered me to the college counsellor. I told her I already see a counsellor but I didn’t have an appointment for another few weeks, and she said the wait was too long so I’ve been seeing my college counsellor every week (twice, so far) as well as my other counsellor (who I see roughly 4 – 6 weeks). I’m not sure what to do with my other counsellor… we have a ‘review session’ coming up to decide to stay counselling or not. Seeing as I’m seeing the college counsellor every week for a while I’m not sure if I should carry on with the other one? I don’t know.
