I go to college once a week to do a BTEC course in health and social care, and I go to work placements on fridays, anyway.

The last placement I worked at was a day centre for disabled adults. And today I got my report in the post, and it wasn't that good, but at the same time I laughed because I wasn't surprised by any of it. It said things like "struggled to interact with the clients" (surprise surprise) "was unable to use initiative and needed prompting" "needed instructions to be explained and the task was never fully completed" also "lost interest easily" etc

But the problem is on my other placements my reports were good, but they were just as hard as the last one with the interacting and the instructions so I think the other placements sugar coated their reports. So I'm happy that this one was honest. And also quite amusing because they were basicly reminding me of how akward I am :lol:

Funny that it's a centre for disabled adults and they call you awkward... I smell some irony cooking, quick, before it burns!

And I have to say, your avatar had me laughing for a good ten mins and has now become a running joke in the family.
