All we need is some ice cream and a hug...
I've changed from a couple of months ago. I don't want to stay in St Andrews any more, although I really want to do the MRes still. I'm fed up of uni and I don't have the contacts to do what I want as a job. Hopefully this summer will change it a bit but I have no idea. I don't know any of my lecturers/supervisors etc well enough to get really good references from them and I don't know how to get the relationships I need. I don't know what I want to do and I really don't know where to start either.
I feel like I should just let things happen and not stress to much about it, but that's hard. I want to have something lined up to do. Maybe it'll be easier once I know what my degree is. That way I'll have something solid to go searching for a job with.
I think if I don't get onto the MRes I move home and get a crappy job in Manchester and search for interships/volunteer positions within marine mammal areas. And remember that I don't have to have a family by the time I'm 30, it can wait a while. And that one day I will save enough to see more of the world, even if it's when I retire.
