@tyme 

Thank you so much, that really means a lot. I haven’t really noticed many improvements except that I have tried harder to get along with certain people here on Sane. Online relationships are not always easy but I have had some lovely feedback. I got thanked for the effort the other day…

Sounds like a fab initiation @Oaktree!! Love that your lecturer also seems to want to put lots of work in for the students! Always a good sign 😁 

Yay!!

@tyme Honestly coming to think about it, I don’t even know how I’ve wasted my time in starting another cert 4 course (cert 4 of I.T) from mid last year when I really should’ve already known (till last week sadly) that the entry requirements for the undergrad courses I’ve been recently thinking about of wanting apply for - was for TAFE applicants that have completed a cert 4 or a diploma course regardless of ANY field we’ve done in either of those TAFE courses. So that means that if I’ve finished off with the 2 remaining units in the cert 4 of accounting last year, then I would’ve graduated from that course already and then go on to apply for undergrad courses this year…but yeah oh well…

@Jynx 

Thanks Jynxy

I was a bit worried that my lecturer didn’t like me based on her first impression of me. However, based on today, I think I was wrong. She is a little blunt sometimes but she doesn’t mean to be unkind. She also said no matter how well we do something that she will always give feedback because she will always be pushing us to be better. I need to remember this and not take it personally. My perfectionist needs to get out of the way

Actually @Oaktree , that's a really important part of reflection @Oaktree . The fact that you could go back and re-evaluate your current thinking about someone is a great skill to nurture.

In the past, when someone appeared not to like me, I'd work extra hard to 'work out' why. It didn't always work, but it was helpful.

[Jynx]

Ach yes @Oaktree that's awesome to hear! And I second what @tyme said too, you're such an inspiration 😁 

Toodles!! I'm off!! 

[tyme]

Sorry you feel you have 'wasted' time @Blackcloud . I wonder if you can still get credits for it in the future?

Believe it or not, I've started a lot of degrees that I never completed. I started with medicine/law, then Chiropractics, then early childhood education... I never finished any of these... 

I kept going until I found the one I liked. Then for the units I did complete, they came in handy as 'electives' for my other degrees.

[Blackcloud]

@tyme as in getting credits for the units from cert iv of I.T that I’ve already done to apply onto the future undergrad degrees,.. or?

oh wow, that must’ve been a journey for you - of going from one different degree to another till you find the one you’ve liked, it sounds like that was a lot to have gone through ❤️

[tyme]

I think in the beginning, I chose courses naively because they 'sounded' good or sounded 'right' @Blackcloud . But I quickly learnt that I have to enjoy it, or it doesn't matter what I do. 

That's with work too. If I don't enjoy it, I feel it better I just don't work. I need to look after my mental health.

[Blackcloud]

@tyme yeah, but the thing is, I’ve never done an undergraduate degree, all I’ve been doing is just doing a few diff tafe/vocational courses at uni for 4 years now after ive finished year 12. Yet so many other people I know of are already doing their bachelors so I thought well why not start doing an undergraduate sooner than later because I feel like I’m falling behind in starting and doing an undergrad. Like it’s not worth still staying in tafe without getting into further studies sooner when I believe I’m at the age where I’m already meant to be doing undergrad, if you know what I mean. That’s why I hope I can finish off with the cert 4 of accounting this semester so that I can apply for those undergrad courses via VTAC later on
