TDQO, if the fact is that if you don't get the 8 weeks experience then you won't be able to graduate then you need to forget about everything else and concentrate on that. You feel that you are wasting a year but without that you will be wasting three. It's what you went out there for, I know you are very demoralised at the moment and it's hard to motivate yourself when you are feeling like that, but if, as you say, you can get a position somewhere else within a week you need to do it now. That's 2 months and you only have 6 months left.

I know you don't want to leave the people you know, but you are not particularly happy there, how do you know that you won't meet other people if you move somewhere else. You could end up having the best 6 months of your life. You must do this, please don't come home having spent 3 years on a degree course with nothing to show for it. I assume when you come back permanently you will be looking for work, it will be so much easier with qualifications. Even if you move and it turns out not to be ideal, at least you will have done what you originally set out to do. Don't come home and realise what a huge mistake you have made. Come home and impress everybody (not just the girls:D )

I really feel for you, you sound very down at the moment, as regards your ex, everyone has been through it, I realise it doesn't make you feel any better to hear that, and that you are having to go through it without the support of your friends which is not nice, but it will get better. You won't always feel like this. Do anything you can to take your mind off it, keeping busy is a godsend at times like that, more motivation to get that job!

Go to that garden party if you can, even just for a change of routine. You are not the only one who hates your job and goes home to an empty house, but it won't be forever. When I get home to an empty house if my flatmates are out I always put the radio on for a bit of noise, could you get some British radio stations on the internet at home, might make you feel a bit less lonely. There are always people on here so you can pop on for a chat at any time, i realise these things are not a great help but they might help take the edge off things.

Thanks Sarah, I know exactly what I need to be doing but right now I couldn't care less. I'm just sick and tired of everything right now. I'll have cheered up by monday so will see what happens when my boss is back.

Sarah - your car breaking all the time must make life very very difficult. Hope it's all sorted soon

Yes it does. Luckily I have my new shoes to play with or I would be sulking.

Please come back and tell us on Monday that either your boss has sorted things or you have a new job. I don't want to be a bossy boots but please don't waste the opportunity you have. If nothing else motivates you, a young go getting graduate will certainly impress the girls and hopefully may impress the one you want;)

Yeah, I agree with Sarah. TDQO, you have been officially told. Get your @ss into gear and get your degree. That is an order. You have no choice

Just a quick post as only just had chance to digest last couple of posts as been in my own little world last few days :o:o

Sarah that really sucks about your car, I remember the 'mare you had last time with it, hope it all gets sorted for you soon, just keep looking and clicking around in your shiny new shoes

TDQO I dont think I can add anything to what Sarah has already said, will look forward to Monday now to hear from you that all is well!

RMR I'll snag a glass if I may

Lula! cheese and mayo, I'm happy! I just stole one of DS little aldi chocolate strawberry bars and I am sure the little !!!!!! will have counted them so he will know in the morning, I need to get more devious. I did have a brief look at your thread earlier and you have been through the works of late so just know my thoughts are with you hun, actually the guy my SC house shares with is a pretty good cook I should send him your way armed with food!

Eco your flapjacks make me weep, can you mail me one?? as I will so blow my diet if I make a batch as I will scoff the lot! And as for Inkycats mentioning toffee pudding..... *whimper* Determined to get to target weight by end of year so I will just have to drool rather then bake I fear!

I'll try to catch up with the rest of the thread tomorrow :grouphug: Dodgy hugs to all!

Btw has anyone heard from SBC?

TDQ,

listen to auntie sarah; she speaks much truth & far more eloquently than I could. Being away from home is tough ( 6 years at boarding school over here with family & friends in darkest africa, culture shock, climate shock etc etc I know how lonely it can be & no tinternet in those days either :eek: ) BUT this is an opportunity & whether you like it or not, character building.

Take every social opportunity you can, underneath all the outward appearances are potential friends & networks. You dont want to come back & confess that you spent most of your time communicating with a bunch of old spinsters over here now do you ( apologies girls; just trying to get the point across in a humorous way )

Just imagine that we're all with you - fabby shoes, pmt & all :rolleyes: then come back & tell us all about it.

Shoo, go forth, network & socialise

Lula-Hula

Hi Ossie,

happy tummy here too & yes please to man who cooks.

Havent heard from SBC for ages maybe he's busy with OU courses come back, we miss you.

Hope all ok with you hon ?

Need my bed now so G'nite all
