Rollcall! How are all the new Uk students doing?

I passed all my exams!

Only about 16% of students on my course pass the first exam diet for the course I'm on. I'm CHUFFED!!!

Yipeee!! You go girl! Congratulations!!! 

I'm enjoying my History masters program, but I'm drowning in the workload (so why am I here posting?    )

I have something due every day next week, and if I get off schedule they are all going to fall like dominoes. I have a paper that I'm still working on from last week, and I have to decide how hard to try to finish it and how much I need to get on with other things and beg for more time on the paper.

I've found I write well, but SLOW. It takes at least twice as long as I think to do anything. I am going to try to convince the instructors that my work will be worth the wait.

My next big task is coming up with what I want to do for a PhD project. I have to nail it down before too long, because funding deadlines will come up. This is a scary task, because I'll be locking myself into something. I have too many things I'm interested in and I hate feeling like I'm cutting off possibilities. But its a step I have to take.

You have discovered the most important rule in life..."everything takes twice as long as you think." Go directly to the head of the class!

I'm doing A&E placement at the moment it's been harsh !! The staff there are edgy yikes!! Most of the staff are helpful but the just throw you into the deep end
