The email with details about registering for the Postgrad course arrived today, have to go on the 19th of September. Which all of a sudden makes it REAL and not just a sort of nice idea for to talk about doing in the future sometime. So now I have TEH FEAR.

HALP HALP HALP Wtf am I doing??? I haven't written an essay or done anything remotely academic for NEARLY TWENTY YEARS. I have no idea how any of this works anymore HALP

(also must start spelling things correctly again. HELP)

At least I don't have to worry about the Masters/Dissertation part of it til next June. If I make it that far...

Also not helping is that in the guides to registration, mostly aimed at first years, they have a sample date of birth which is 1993. NINETEEN NINETY THREE WTF I FINISHED MY DEGREE IN 1992 and these kids WEREN'T EVEN BORN THEN.

Tho, at least with it being a post grad course, any Youngsters on it should be at least 21. But still, born in the '90s. HELP ME.

Luckily, I am getting an Indian Head Massage this evening from lovely Judith (who is doing a course and needs case studies, yay!), which will help with the calming down no end.

It'll all be fine. FINEFINEFINE.

(help?)

Seconded.

What flavour of computer do you drive, that you'll use for the academicals? I can offer many Mac tips, PC ones - um. Not many.

(I'm trying to finish my PhD. Ha! It's not going well.)

Thirded. And I use it on Windows and Linux systems.

Will be using a pc laptop, as all the course GIS software is geared towards windows.

Must go GET new laptop actually...

Thanks for the offer, I had forgotten just how many people on my flist are studying again!

FINE FINE FINE. (have some cider?)

helpful news: there WILL be younglings on the course. but if they're like the ones on mine, most of them will have some quite baffling areas of total ignorance and you will feel wise and deep of experience. (and not old. much.)

some quite baffling areas of total ignorance

Especially around the luring of young men and bottling of their tonkers in jars of cider...

Well, that was a surprising mental image to have before 8 am, right up until I realised that you mean -your own- fingers...

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2011-08-30 10:26 am (UTC)(link)
They could be chocolate fingers!

Hmmm chocolate fingers...
