Bored! Lets chat :)

Hey,

Im Amy, 25 from London. Studying psychology, sociology and criminology. Who wants to chat?

I study from home and I also work from home too.
My hubby works really long hours and I don't know many people in my area as I have a little bit of social anxiety which makes things difficult. So I get quite lonely at home all the time. X

Hey, I dont study degree level unfortunately. Psychology and sociology are A-Levels and criminology is a level 3 course which is equivalent to an A-Level. But once Im done id like to do a degree with Open University.

I'm self teaching tho, so it can be quite hard without a tutor etc. But I enjoy it :smile:

Are you studying psychology too?

I went thru a lot of bullying mentally and physically at school. So much that my parents got fed up with the school ignoring it and they took me out in year 10 before I could do gcses :frown: I just haven't had any courage to go back since then. So im studying at home.

I have really only just started. I started like a year ago with distance learning company ICS but they were really bad, I had so many problems with them. So I left them and then lost motivation for a while. Ive just started again but self teaching this time. So the exams will probably be next year now depending on how I get on

I reckon you'll be alright second time round as long as you maintain a positive can-do attitude :smile: you may find it difficult at times but it's definitely doable to teach yourself independently. (Besides, if you struggle you have this whole community to back you up :wink: )

What other interests have you got?

Ermmm well I am a huge Sherlock fan. Benedict Cumberbatch :O lol. Cycling, bowling, cooking, drawing. I just generally enjoy learning new things so I read a lot of different things too.

How about you?

Oh you sound like you are a well disciplined person to have the ability of self study. When did you get married?

I'm afraid I've never seen Sherlock nor a fan of Benedict Cumberbatch :redface: haha. I never learned how to ride a bike, my 6 year old nephew beats me at bowling 90% of the time, I bake and I like to think I'm average at drawing haha.

I'm a huge How I Met Your Mother fan (I know the series has ended but I'm still not over it). I do some hiking every now and again and I'm a complete foodie haha.

What's your favorite book?
