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?

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

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

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

Thank you, wife, for supporting me.

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?

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.

Is anyone going to uni this year? I am.

Received word that your tax dollars (http://www.open.ac.uk/scotland/study/fees-and-funding) 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 (http://www.open.ac.uk/courses/statistics/degrees/bsc-data-science-r38) starting in January.

Are you still making a living off gambling?

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

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?

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.

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.
