I have: news
I thought on the TAFE situation some more and decided to see if I'd pass the assessment for the dual cert 4 in AOD/Community services, and if I didn't, I was going to look elsewhere for the cert 3 I wanted in the first place.
An hour of stressing over not knowing what I'm doing and what to answer with later, I finished the LLN assesment and got a phone call from the course lady. Apparently I don't quite meet the general entry requirements, but that given the nature of the course, I have a sufficient level to still understand what's happening. Apparently TAFE (or at least this TAFE) don't do binary pass/fails for their entry tests, it's either fine or needs work.
With that said, I've now been offered a place in the new course, so as long as they don't cancel this one too, I should be starting the same day as the last one (in 7 days). Do I know what I'm doing? No. But I hope I'll figure it out soon...
But for some bad news, I think I'm going to take a little break from Lemmy for a while. With everything that's been going on in my real life, I've found myself being more thin skinned and easily agitated than usual. Normally most things (particularly online) don't phase me all too much, but it's beginning to feel like I'm a camel that's a few straws away from a broken back. So for the sake of my own sanity, and not lashing out at people who don't deserve it, I'm going to take a short mental health break. I'll be back in a couple of weeks probably
Take care of yourself Baku :)
