Stick with the course, el....as you say, it is where it is taking you that is important, and once you have the degree, the tedium of the classes will have been worth it.

ok can you tell i am on a roll here ...went to uni on tuesday now my class is 10 am till 1pm ..this course costs £1800 a year to do and i get a student loan of nearly £4000 a year so my debt is effectively goingup £4000 a year i accepted this thinking it will be worth it in the end etc etc etc...other costs are £7 a day to get to uni plus any spends (not spending anything just now being a good girl) ...so there i was up at 6.30 am to get the train paid the £7 (train fare)to get to uni on tuesday went to class and we have a 10 min break at 11.30 am ...11.30 am arrives and the guy says see you next week ..i'm like !!!!!! that's class done ...i pay £1800 a year £7 a day get up at 6.30 to be here and you decided either a) you cant be bothered b) you havnt planned the class c) whatever other excuse you want ....now if i was to go to a shop and pay 1800 and not get what i paid for i would go nuts but it is to be accepted at uni (have sent several emails about this to uni already cause no it isnt the first time)

ok breathe deeply el

now today i think i am gonna say what gun i am ...thanks z

hmm....that doesn't seem to be great value for money - at least when I was doing my teaching qual, they paid me to go, not the other way round!

and today's joyous class ...we played with duplo bricks ....yes you read it right duplo bricks....thankfully i had grounded and centered myself so i sat in class all serene like and stared out of the window ...i behaved really well and didnt hit anyone or shout at anyone....i sat thinking next year (if i last that long) i am not taking out a loan....i dont want to leave uni with a whole heap of debt so i will not be availing myself of the loan .....or maybe i should so that i can have some savings.....it's such a hard choice lol lol lol ....tomorrow i have my elective at uni it's in a different campus so that is a good thing

What course are you doing El...some of it sounds odd to me.Duplo bricks what's that about in relation to your course?

elantan

taxi i will pm you ...you never know a uni lecturer might be on here and i dont want to have to re-do my essays although apparently they insist that they are marked without the tutor knowing ...the fact you have to sign the form put your number in and you get it back signed by the tutor and all of which is stapled to your work doesnt seem to have been noticed by the staff (or maybe they just dont think we have noticed)

Men Men Men ...it was snowing yesterday when i came in from work now i have quite a steep driveway so i tried to do my usual manouvre but the car started sliding towards the house thinking this wasnt safe i just parked in front of the garage ... so just now hubby went out to the garage to get some chicken for tomorrows dinner came back in going nuts at me ...the car had rolled into the garage ...now i had the handbrake fully on (which hubby checked and confirmed) but with the snow the way it was it slid into the garage ...it's got a few big scratches on it nothing like the end of the world but he's going nuts at me ...shouting in the street i shouldve parked it where i normally park it ...so i'm shouting back at him if i did that it wouldve been in your side of the bed...finally he calms down and see's my point but jeez ...and then admits the car does do what i have told him several times it does ...and apologises ...i think maybe he had a worse day than me ...i know he had to play with real bricks lol

well i got my results of my first module i failed ...have to admit was a bit puzzled by this as ok the paper aint great but i didnt think it was total rubbish ...so i chatted to a few from class and it appears the whole class has failed ...so uni was phoned and it appears that there is a problem with the online information...so i might not have failed and i might not have passed...hmmmm we'll see ...some people had a letter beside there name (this seems to be their grade) mine doesnt so we'll see

Urm - odd! :eek: When are they hoping to get clarification of this and what happens if the whole class has failed? and are they getting their act together in other areas?
