National Citizen Service - sounds like I'm going off to the Army.

Right now I'm in the middle of my time at Dartmoor, either Mountain Biking or doing Forest Orienteering, and this is indeed a pre-set post. I just need to write what I believe it will be like as a reference to myself.

Well the dormitories aren't anything like Hogwarts, but they'll do. Bunkbeds, which take me back to a school trip I did about six or seven years ago. The common room looks interesting enough and since I'm expected to be there when we're not out, it will have to do.

Overall, it doesn't really look that bad, I'm just incredibly reluctant because I'll be completely alone, cut off from my partner and one of my best friends when she really needs me, forced to converse with many girls and I'll have to befriend at least one of them but the boys will probably be more fun, or incredibly annoying. If one tries to make a pass at me I will be very upset and have to explain my partner and I. This could be difficult.

Here's hoping it isn't, and I make friends with the person I sit next to on the coach. Which is another worry. What will we talk about? Are we expected to talk all the way? What if I let slip about my partner and they're not cool with gay relationships. Actually screw that, what if they're just not cool with gay anything? This would pretty much end our friendship.

Alright let's hope I'm doing okay. I'll be sure to check in again on Friday evening.
