PANIC!

[bonomania]

I start UNI in 18 days!

Now that is exciting! What isn't exciting, however, is that I know I've picked the wrong course and am practically hyperventilating every day when I even think about it.

Thankfully, the lovely lady at the admissions office I emailed has asked me to call her so we can talk it through.

Hopefully, this is going to start my

Best of luck! I was scared to death to start college (I was 24 when I went back) and there were times I *seriously* regretted it and had to cope with a level of stress that would have killed lesser people, but all in all it as a great experience and one I'm glad I finally got up the guts to do.

About your class, if you can't get out of it, give it a fair shake. I always knew I wanted to go into Biology, but I met a really inspiring English prof who convinced me to give literature and linguistics a chance (writing had always been a talent/hobby, but I never went deeper into it than that), and I graduated and English minor, loving it to death. I didn't want to major in it since I don't want to teach and that's about all one can do here with such a degree, but I found it immensely interesting when I *never* thought I would.

Thank you :]
I'm the same as you, I loved biology so I wanted to continue with science, but English is the one thing I've always been good at. Plus, the science courses involve a lot of practical work and I freeze up when other people watch me work (which makes me feel stupid for even picking the course in the first place LOL). At least with English, the majority of the marks are in the coursework - something I can do on my own without someone watching me all the time.

Yeah, I was thinking about what I could do afterwards - I wouldn't mind teaching, but I'd like to go into editing/publishing because I love proof-reading (lame, I know lol).

Tbh, all I want to do is enjoy uni, and I think I will if I do English. :] I'm just worried I've left it all too late...

I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow. (If my parents haven't murdered me lol)

Just to let you know, I was able to change to an English course. The woman on the phone told me someone had dropped out in the morning, so I could have her place. WOOP!

[theonlymeyouget]

Cool cool! When do you start, of have you already?

[rincewindy13]

*hands you a paperbag* Need meds? =)

Kidding, hope you'll get it all sorted out. What are you going to study? I forgot.

[bonomania]

LOL the meds wouldn't go a miss right now. Anxiety has always been the bastard-feeling that's held me back.

*fingers crossed* it'll get sorted.

I was going to study Forensic Science and Anthopology with Criminal Investigation. And I was really excited about it, but then I got my timetable through and almost died. I only get one lesson of anthropology a week and the rest is all chemistry. Now, I have no problem admitting - I SUCK at chemistry. Big time lol

[rincewindy13]

I see. I'm actually good at chemistry...I have studied food chemistry.

Forensic science sounds intesting but you shouldn't do it if you know you'll fail though.

[bonomania]

Yeah, that's what I thought. Chemistry always looked interesting to me, but no matter how hard I tried or how many people tried to teach me, I could never get the hang of the equations.

I am almost certain that I'd fail, knowing what I'm like during practical lessons (a complete panicky clutz lol).

[bonomania]

Thank you so much :] I'm ringing the uni again today so hopefully they'll be able to sort something out for me. *fingers crossed*
