Ended up not telling him, I just couldn't do it. I know I should say now while there's still time to sort things, but I'll pull through. I always do.

Luce, is there anyone there you can talk to? Or can you take a leave of absence for medical reasons and then try again?

Sparky!
 

Telling him now would be a good plan, maybe email him? I know it's easy to think you'll 'pull through' and hopefully you will, but it doesn't hurt to have some help in doing that.

Hey Catrina, welcome :) Good luck with the exams!

BAH.
I went into uni today, though I had the day off, for a meeting about group work and no one showed up. I also haven't stuck to my work schedule at all. Though, I found out I have an extra two days to do an assignment.

I've had an email today about group work. It's due in in about 10 days time, I didn't realise it was that soon. Not looking forward to having to try and do that. I've got extended deadlines for everything else,but I can't really ask for that with a group, as that'd make me the slacker of the group.





Reality leaves a lot to the imagination

PinkartStudent, it's always good to take a break. So long as you can relax into your break ) a Fresh head often helps me start over.

Hey Void :) thanks for saying hi! Any tips for me? I've never used a forum before.

I'm going to a postgraduate open day today, hoping it will go well and I'll be able to sort out what I'm doing. I've not looked at applying for funding yet, and I really, really need the money.

I'm looking at postgrad options too. Would absolutely love to do a PhD, but would need funding for it. So I'm going to take a year out (because of the funding deadlines) to figure out what exactly I want to do (have a few ideas, but nothing concrete) and then be able to write a decent proposal for it.

What's your diss on? I've had that same issue, but I'm 'triangulating' other disciplines and moulding what they say in to what I want.

Claire, yeah I have people to talk to. Tried to make use of that today & discovered that if worst comes to worst, I can always just do my third year (which I'm in now) over the two years, so it'll be okay. I'm just going to try to do what I can & attempt to get my meds adjusted. :)

Thanks for replying. :) x



Ride it out.

Welcome Catrina isn't uni fun?

anywho, i guess its my turn to rant about the whole uni situation. My engineering writing teacher got in a bad motorcycle crash and fractured his hip and one vertebra, so we have a sub who has no notes or anything to go off of. in the course outline it said we were to have group presentations yesterday, but the teacher told us that we were behind and going to skip it. Of course the sub didn't believe it, so he had us form groups and do a group presentation with a weeks notice, and a 4 day weekend for thanksgiving (which most people are out of town for) So we had that yesterday, we didn't do very well on it, but its over. The teacher still has no idea what to do for a final next week.
My math teacher is still a dork, has missed several more classes and is just telling us to research math online because he is so far behind, and he doesn't curve any scores so most of the class isn't passing, including me. But on the good part, our second 'midterm' will be a take home and we will have a week to finish it, so I will be doing 70% of the grade a week from friday on the day of the final.
meh, i dont want to do this.
