Have done a bit of research on Social Work (postgrad entry) courses, and narrowed it down to three that I'll apply for next November:

1) York
2) Nottingham
3) Sheffield

Why November? Because I need to have 1700 hours (read: one year) of social work experience, either voluntary or paid, and though au pairing might count for something, it's not quite what they're looking for.

The good news is, voluntary work is as readily available in the UK as ever. The bad news is, I still need a job that pays. Hahaha ... crap.

Current Mood: sleepy
Current Location: Solothurn, Switzerland
Current Music: Sell Me Candy - Rihanna

This kind of news story is exactly why I want to go into Social Work, even though I'm not sure I could handle working the abuse cases. When you think that a 17 month old baby is dead because of the inadequacies of the system and some truly fucked human beings, it makes everything else in my life seem a little bit pointless.

But in more cheerful news, I'm restarting NaNo.
