Snoo V7 - ah spring, has sprung, a SNOO! (bless you).

I got fuck all for xmas :(

Shame on you Summer......that money is for books and tools of learning to progress your academic facilitations at uni

On the other hand you youngsters probably don't need books anymore what with the interweb and all.

During my first degree (93-96) the internet was just being invented (they called it the "information superhighway" - never heard that term for a long time).

Luckily during subsequent trips to university things moved out of the stone age a bit ;)
 
Thanks Sadie :)

I remember being in a financial economics class at uni in about '93 and we were told about how a new computer "thingy" would revolutionise financial trading. As usual I was only half listening (and only half awake) but when I heard "information superhighway" I thought they were talking about a mass road building scheme or something haha!
 
Oh I certainly was!!

When I left school I just picked a degree kind of at random and ended up with some shite called Financial and Business Economics. Which turned out to be the most boring crap on the planet. I then wanted to change to medicine but was told I had to finish and get at least a 2:1 which considering how much I hated it was purgatory.

I did eventually get to medical school but then left after 2 years. Went back again to do paramedic science.

Never could make up my mind what I wanted to be! ;)
 
Mental health nursing.... That's what I want to be when I grow up ;) Classes fill up so fast and for the last two years I've not been able to secure a place.... Gotta keep trying though. =D
 
You will hun as long as you never give up on your dreams. Just keep trying and you'll get there.

The number of times I've been told that I'll "never" achieve something and have anyway just due to stubbornness and perseverance is unreal.

As long as you believe you'll get there have a solid plan and never give up....you get there ;) <3
 
Oh I know. Its just life has a funny thing of getting in the way. I didn't apply this year due to life.... Next year perhaps. It is a passion of mine though I think if I did achieve my goal it would only frustrate me. There is simply not enough funding for mental health in this country! This really irritates me!!!
 
I know......mental health is a big part of my work and I know many psychiatrists and they all say the same thing.

The NHS in general is chronically underfunded but that's just the way it is. We earn fuck all. Work like fuck and get little to know recognition or thanks but I wouldn't do anything else because I really love it ;)
 
I didn't buy almost any of the books in first year (or even read them) and I still got a 2.2... which would have been a first (as in the best you can get) if I hadn't completely not done one of my (unrelated to English and believed to be optional) modules. Last first yeah doesn't count and I'm kinda fucked off with it all anyway so probably won't finish.

Snoo is feeling ok despite no more drugs and lack of sleep once more. Plus next week <3 :)

Click to expand...

Only people that love it will understand, which scares me..... I love to help but feel it may break me. Wanting to but not able to.... Yeah the NHS is spread pretty thin and Mental health seems to be of least importance. That's not on!
 
Maybe but if you got too much like that you would have to leave the job.

Compassion and empathy are everything but if you're not able to separate yourself from the emotional aspect and pain then you're not going to last 5 minutes (and many people don't)

Summer - don't leave now hun, you'll regret it later. I know when you're 20 it's difficult to see into next week let alone 20 years down the line, but in today's world if you have the chance at a degree and don't take it you'll regret it. Jobs are just too hard to come by and starting uni then fucking it off sends an awful message to potential employers.

I fucked off medical school off after finishing my economics degree and now 15 years later, I've never stopped regretting it.
 
Undergrad study was such a slog. At 20 I was completely convinced of what I wanted to do in life but FFS what a slog. Didn't fit in at all in any way (was also much younger than the youngest classmates as I had skipped a year). It wasn't law school for me, but the first years really put me off academics for a too long while. Shame, as grad school felt totally different.
