Yup!!

I'm starting 30th January... the course is running for 14 weeks and I will be doing subjects like Maths, English, IT and then things like Hair Dressing and Beauty module and other random things. Plus I have to do 1:1 support. Everyone on the course has a mental health problem. Only my Maths, English and IT tutors will know about the BP. Plus I'm still befriending, going to therapy and going to college for 14 hours a week. I'm gonna be shattered! But it will be worth it
