    How come you couldn't do computer science? If you don't mind me asking that is!

    Theres never been anything I really wanted to do I have just jumped from wanting to do one job to wanting to do another! Well bar forensic science, was really interested in that, but I wasn't very good at chemistry a level
    Well computer science requires a good maths level... and my dyslexia screws that up.... I tried really hard.... you cant imagine my horror when I found out I wasnt able to go.....

    ooh... forensic science... a little bit of CSI in the making.

    Ok I admit it, that sounds pretty awesome. :emo:



    Have you tried feeding him catnip yet? Maybe he'll go bat**** crazy! :nutcase:

    Not bad, except I've got me a sore throat. Shame you couldn't stick around - the proper drinking started at night and continued late into the AM.



    I'd just try and work at a reasonable pace if you can, and try not to worry about the deadlines. If you're not up to finishing an essay by say two weeks' time, then worrying and beating yourself up about it isn't going to help any - just try and keep going and finish it whenever you can. Don't worry about the grades and stuff for now. :console:
    Wolf even finished a drink in less than an hour at one point!

    I didn't realise you had to have a good maths level for it ... whats the difference between computer science and ICT? that may sound stupid but my housemates do ICT and they have a lot of their lectures with computer science people! so wasn't sure what the differences were!

    Hell yer I have always been into all that stuff big time (in a none weird way) murders are fascinating (again none weird) but couldn't do forensics so gone down the psychology route!

    Currently not feeling good at all. Don't know why I'm feeling so angry right now. Had a great time earlier. Almost had a
    panic attack in a shopping centre when I looked down while going upstairs. But don't know why I'm feeling like this now. I know I'm so ugly, that is the real reason I can't get a girlfriend :sad:. I have not done any work and don't think I'll be able to do any. Why have I become so useless? Where has all that dedication gone?

    Hope everyone else is feeling much better than me :hugs:

    Well computer science is more theory based... AI, programming, robotics, computer ethics etc.

    Although It depends on what uni you go to.

    Somehow I can see doing well at something active being better for that than a course about positivity/self-love.. but the combination of the two, depending on how it's approached might work best.
    Yeah, I'm not particularly a positivity kind of person. The mindfulness class was the biggest load of bull**** I've ever encountered so if the self esteem class is anything like that I think I would quit pretty quick.

    I used to have a CPN who was obsessed with relaxation. It's like "voices are telling me to kill myself" "oh...why don't you think about a happy place and rellllllllax". Grrrrrr!

    :rofl: wow.

    Although, to be fair, Wolf isn't usually that slow at drinking, usually only one behind us two

    Ah I see, fair enough then, well really sorry that you can't go into it! No chance of re-doing maths or something? Because at my university it doesn't mention maths or anything.

    Always been really **** with computers and all stuff like that!

    Sorry probably not being much help asking you all these questions about it all...but I think future and jobs and stuff is just rubbish, would rather not have to think about it either!

    I think this is a really common feeling. I feel very similar, I'd love to go back and this time not mess everything up. But, well, you can't. It would be great to but you/we can't. What you need to do is take a step back and look at your situation now and think about what manageable steps you can take to change it for the better. That's the only way round this.

    I did debate it.... but even if I spent everyday on the math... prolly wouldnt make a difference....that part of the brain just mis-fires. Plus now all the unis have upped their grade boundaries.... I wouldnt stand a chance.

    Still guess its in the past now.... OMG.. sorry I have been yapping at you for ages.... and you have your dissertation to work on... sorry

    Bane (although it turns out I have seen it, just not the first 10 minutes )

    Heroes or Threads remain my favourite episodes

    Have you served a prison sentence and are on the sex offenders register?

    No?

    Your life isn't ruined, there's always a way. If you don't want to talk about it that's cool but if you want to share what's going on maybe people will have ideas that might help you. There is always a way.

    I just wish I'd done more to have a social life when I had the chance :sad:. And I wish I didn't have autism.
