The Uni Thread

Idk, based on past experience I'm completely incapable of judging. I was definitely better prepared so hopefully that shows.

It's frustrating, because based on all my clinical experience I actually think I'd be a very good F1 doctor. I get very good feedback on the wards when I'm doing what I'd be doing as an F1. I just find the clinical exams extremely difficult. They aren't a realistic representations
of what you need to be able to do to be a doctor and play on all my weaknesses. But whatever, it is what it is.

I'm hopeful.

Do catch-up/resit doctors have to wear a badge warning patients?

[randomlegend]

Fuck off

[randomlegend]

We were told results would be out next week but have just had an email saying they'll be out late tomorrow morning.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

[Pepe]

Good luck.

[Boydy]

Good luck.

I'm a student again until April 2021 at the earliest. 😒

Thank you, wife, for supporting me.

[Spoonsky]

We’re on track to graduate at the same time Panda. \o

[Panda Bear]

So I'm studying my Masters of Architecture at the best school in Canada, the University of British Columbia.

Hooray!!

Right? Well, it's even more spectacular that I got in considering that my most recent academic transcripts have a bunch of F's on them from 2015 after the University of Manitoba reneged on a promise to accept work that I submitted after the semester ended in respect to my severe clinical depression/hypothyroid condition.

All good, right?

Well, I'm currently stuck in a 'Foundation Year' studio in 'Foundation Year' courses where I already know how to do everything. So I've already complained to the student services coordinator and department chair because why the fuck am I paying over $10k/year to learn shit I already know?

[Lewis]

Because of the other things you wrote in that post.

[Panda Bear]

Yeah.

[Panda Bear]

Advice: if you have a choice between being healthy and being severely depressed for years culminating in a career setback of six to eight years, choose the former.

@Magic

[Magic]

Couldn't disagree more.

[Panda Bear]

Are @Spoonsky and I the only ones still in post-secondary on this board now?*



*At least I'm doing a graduate program.

Is anyone going to uni this year? I am.

Received word that your tax dollars can fund the entirety of my Open University degree because I live in Scotland and the man doesn't recognise my earnings. Gonna do Data Science BSc starting in January.

[Spikey M]

Repeat the referendum.

[-james-]

Between this and my girlfriend being on furlough forever I really am fleecing each and every other visitor of this website.

[Offshore Toon]

Mon the James. Take Mahow for all he's worth.

[Boydy]

Are you still making a living off gambling?

And is that what you're hoping to use this degree for?

[Spikey M]

As if that Beadle clawed leech has ever paid tax.

Started an online MBA this year.

Have you not already got a degree? How do you go about funding a 2nd one? Or can you have more than 1 student loan?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What is tax?

MBA is a masters which I don't have. My student loan was paid off a few years back but this is self funded - thankfully I can pay by the module and it's not one of those 30-40k courses so it's affordable.

[Offshore Toon]

Is the Open University good then? I just remember Harold getting a 110% average and being crowned the next Einstein, which made me think it might be a bit shit. I wouldn't mind getting a masters at some point.

[Magic]

So I got accepted on to an MSC course without a degree. I have to write an essay to prove I can cope at this level and the deadline is in like 12 days lol.

Only question, they've said I have to use at least 6 sources and they've given 7 recommended books. Is this right? Seems a bit much for such short notice...

EDIT: Another pretty major problem is I can't find any of the fucking books online, I managed to source 3 out of the 7 but the others are from 2nd hand sellers on Amazon or the full price. Any academics plz help lol.

[Pepe]

What do you need another degree for?

[Magic]

What do you need another degree for?

I don't have one.

[Pepe]

Write an essay proving that you can cope with the academic challenges that you will encounter.

*Can't find the sources offered*

[Magic]

Oh no am I failing already. Is suicide an option?

[Magic]

Can I use the three books and then use like online papers etc as a source? God I hate being neurodiverse.

Is Sci-Hub still going?

[randomlegend]

Is Sci-Hub still going?

It is yeah.

[Lewis]

I'm lolling but the amount of articles/chapters Pepe got me through his library was heroic on his part.

[Pepe]

Officially out now, so no more perks.

I even got my library to buy a copy of your book.

Two modules left. Not really sure why I'm bothering but I'm in too deep to quit now.

[Magic]

Thanks knew I could count on you guys.

[Magic]

I managed to do it. Fuck you guys. Now just have to wait for them to say I'm not academic or competent enough to study at Masters level.

[Magic]

Got in, unconditional offer.

[Magic]

Well done MJ, so good considering you don't come from an academic background unlike the rest of the twinks on this forum.

EDIT: and also the complete and utter lack of goodwill and support, in fact condescending mockery was the only thing you received. Hero.

[niko_cee]

Good luck m8
