University Frustrations

16 August 2007

It’s taken me two and a half months to decide how many and which modules I want to do this year. The plan is to do a full-time year to get things moving a bit so that I can get the whole degree done in four years.

So I drove all the way to uni for a twenty minute meeting to discuss my plans and get things updated. However, I got nothing sorted. It seems that it is not in the regulations for a part-time student to do any full-time study during their degree, despite having these exact words in front of me in an email I was sent in 2005 when I first started uni. Apparently, the rules have changed and no one was kind enough to let us know.

The lady I spoke to understood why I wanted to go full-time this year and said that she’d take up my case and do everything in her power to let me have my way. I really hope so. She said she probably won’t get back to me until after the Bank Holiday though, so I’m going to be on edge the whole time thinking about it!
