< indecision | posted at 5:55 pm on October 28, 2003 > this is so confusing...i'm one of those people who delay decisions until right when i need to make them. for example, yesterday i wanted to go on exchange. today, i want to transfer degrees into the combined of my current plus international studies (where you study a language and culture and then go to that country for a year). back in 2001, when i got my university offer, i only got my second choice. which was 'straight MAP' - my single degree that i'm currently doing. my first choice was the combined. (sure, i only get two arts degrees which ends up as abbreviated to BA, but hell.) anyway, i was pretty pissed off that i didn't get into the combined, but had heard it was pretty easy to transfer, so decided i would do that. a year into the course and the idea that i'd finish it in three years (rather than the five it would take for the international option) was so attractive i decided - hey, yeah, i will just finish this degree and go travelling, that's the idea. now i want to transfer. and i enrol tomorrow. and i'm at the end of my second year, which i've done only borderline full time, twelve credit points down from a typical program. this is going to be tough. and there's the chance i'll be in uni for seven years. wait, scrap that 'chance' bit. if i do transfer, i'll be in uni for at least six years, rather than my originally planned four (protracted three year degree). this would be a five year degree protracted to six-seven. i'll be van wilder! and i'll have to do those shitty subjects like 'comparative social change' and stuff. i don't know! i just don't! i have to go now. those last five |
