lolabobsI've had enough of training now.
The people are all still nice, and thetraining isn't horrific in and of itself, it's just I would really rather like to go home. I've a cold which doesn't help, I keep sneezing and snuffling and I'm always self conscious about that. But really - it's the smallness of teh group I think. We go to breakfast and see one another, from there to 4 hours training, we lunch together, then train for another 3-4 hours. Then after an hour of freedom we dine together. It's squashing me.
Yesterday I went for a walk to the nearby trading estate where I wandered aimlessly around bedding stores (and bought a pillow to try and improve my sleep), before returning.
Today I ordered room service for breakfast to have a little longer solitude - miscommunication ruled (as expected, each night they are either a meal over or short at the dining table) - I ordered breakfast for 7.45 - they pulled me from my shower at 7.15 (and it wasn't a misread handwriting thing, it was a tick box order form!), I also ordered 2 slices of toast - and they bought me 8! Two toast racks full! I asked for a croissant - they bought me two, plus a pain au chocolat. What a waste of food. Nice to not have to converse over it however - which was worth teh £2.50 surcharge.
I have three more days of this and just wanna go home. Which is also making me more anxious about my forthcoming hospital stay, which will be more enforced company - although at least there I will be able to sleep (or pretend to) the day away!
Yesterday we were doing the most mundane of exercises and I was overwhelmed with teh desire to flee - I'm nervous for today now, but am going with the "bright and cheerful facade" approach - wonder how long that will last!
Wish me luck!
