I like Wednesdays. I have a half day which means I can either come home and take a nap, finish my hw early so that I can watch the flash for the rest of the afternoon or I can walk into town with my other friends that have a half day as well and grab some food or order a takeaway and eat it in the park (obviously not at the moment cause it is cold, wet and covid but that is what we did in September).
I am kinda glad it is Friday cause it means that for the first time on a Saturday for god knows how long, i don't have any work experience or meetings to attend and I can lie in for half the day then wake up and drink iced coffee. I still gotta work cause i haven't done any of the work for the ethics pbl meeting at 4 tomorrow and I have 5-6 questions to answer on veterinary ethics and 4-5 videos to watch, and here i was thinking that maybe I could have a nice Saturday and read a book but life sucks like that.
Today was alright though. We learnt about student loans in core maths today which brought up a scintillating conversation with one of my friends, Dom. We talked about estimated costs of living in university for my 6 year vet course. It hurt our brains but we came up with a figure for about 31,000 for 6 years excluding course costs and accommodation costs (which your parents said they would pay). We also identified the factors that would effect that figure such as the amount of people you live with in your 2nd to 6th year, so how much you can split the cost of a house, where you live also effects the price that you will be paying and finally, if you ever take any trips with your uni or with your friends in those years at uni.
We the had a conversation about personal tax as we had also been learning about that. I mean I think the economy is screwing us over because we think it is all well and good, we are paying a lot less tax now that we were 20 years ago so everybody thinks that's great. WRONG! Although we are paying less tax, student loans are getting bigger and ik someone might be thinking oh its fine cause student loans were a lot less when i went to school that they are now. WRONG AGAIN! The price of course fees is going up so so are the amount of student loans that we have to take out but for those who had lower course fees and think that this doesn't affect you as much, you are also paying a higher interest on your loans. So it might not be affecting you as much as it is affecting us but you are going to have to pay more off that you would have 10 years ago.
*Pppfffffffffff* Sorry for ranting but I really just needed to get that out of my system lol. Look at me though, I as smart now
. Anyway, **** went down, I slept through chemistry, a girl went to hospital then alls well that ends well when we finish psych early and start talking about the new 'super straight' term. Ik we sound like a boring bunch but I promise you we are not. We just get all philosophical on a friday cause our brains are fried. And whilst everyone is getting a break and restoring their brains over the weekend, I will be destroying min even further with vet ethics and small animal clinical work experience. Yay for me (:
And here is my smartness for the day:
If you can't think of anything else to analyse in english language, look for a 'you' and try to make up some bs about being direct
*Told u I was smart 😎
