I am really not doing so well & I am struggling. I can't seem to function too well atm. I am shutting down. I saw my psych today, and she doesn't think doing exercise science is going to be good choice to study because there is not much work available in this field.
I am not able to articulate too well, what is happening for me. I am just exhasuted and scared and alone.

Hi @Zoe7
I was in Kangaroo paddock and two shows today
Kangaroos were playing up today- I was not there when they were agressive
One volunteer was injuried today

@Faith-and-Hope
I can see myself as a nurse
There are advantages and disadvantages with both (nursing or EP)
The problem is I asked to go into hospital on Friday and I had my assessment on Sunday and now waiting to hear back from them. I think hospital needs to wait unless I decide not to study
I spoke to my specialist today she wants me to start with one course and then make a decision.
What do you think?
Brisbane grad nursing (2years) I have to wait until next year
or
Exercise Science( 2or2.5 years) depending how much credit I receive
Post grad exercise science (1 year)
what do you think????

They went home after the incident with the kangaroo
She got quite a big cut on her arm- she was shaken & scared by the incident in the kangaroo paddock
But she is okay and will just have to make sure it does not get it infected and she dresses the wound properly.
