Family stuff. Both my grandmothers are not in the best of health, and I told them that a lot of the time I'm a secondary carer for my maternal grandmother, and that my mum would going for a hysterectomy some time in my course. They also had a problem with me because I stood up for myself. They kept sending me to stupid places that I had no idea where I was, and I don't have a car and it was taking me 3 hours to get home. One of the days, on my 20th birthday, I got sent to a nursery to "play with the kids" as part of my health visitor placement, which would have taken me 3 buses to get there. I had called my lecturers about this 4 times, and no one phoned me back. I had to go in on that day and explain that there was no way I could do this. One of the nursery's staff picked me up and drove me back, but obviously not everyone can do that. One of the days I got sent to Easterhouse, which I've never been to, and had to get a taxi home because the only bus stop I could find had buses that went nowhere I knew! Plus I was given into trouble for swearing on my mobile. I had just finished a 12 hour shift, and all the students but me got let away at 7. I was kept til 7.45, and was pissed off as my brother had just come back from Belgium and they knew I wanted to see him. I wasn't in my uniform or on hospital grounds, but aparently a member of staff saw this and reported me. So I got kicked out, and you know what? I feel a huge weight off my shoulders. I preferred college anyway. I went to North Glasgow, and they even let me leave in the middle of class because my mum was in hospital after having a serious asthma attack, and after that let me have a week off to look after her! Such a difference.
