Friends, Family and Carers, Fancy a Cuppa and a Chat, Connect now

@AlwaysMyself I am thinking of either taking a leave of absence from the UG certificate in fine arts degree though, or even drop out of the degree but then that would mean that I've already wasted my HECS debt onto the 2 units that I've already completed. What do you think? Any advice? 🙂 I'd reckon the former might be better than the latter perhaps, even though I've already completely lost interest in doing fine arts.. 🤔

Its worth chatting to the admin team at the uni about it if possible, @Blackcloud . If you can do a Leave of Absense without any penalty/downside (no student fee contributions, erc) then yeah I reckon it keeps your options open for when you finish your psych degree.

Finances are always an emotionally difficult thing for me too! However in this case, if it were me, I'd be trying to reframe it for myself as "I've already accrued/paid those fees. Nothing I can change about that." And then focus on whether there is any advantage of continuing/deferring vs formally withdrawing now.

E.g. if you dont withdraw formally, would it change whether or not you can transfer your completed subjects (eg as electives) into your psych degree?

If you do withdraw now but then decide you want to do an art qualification later, would it impact the ability to enrol at all? (If you have completed the psych degree by then, I doubt it would negatively impact your ability to enrol in another course - but might be worth asking student admin?)

I really hope you can get the subjects transferred over to be counted in your psych degree. Definitely not "wasted money" then since you would have to do units anyway.

Do you have many Electives in the degree?

@AlwaysMyself yeah in my degree we have a total of 11 electives we have to do, so if I decide to include the 2 units from last semester for the credit, then it'll leave me to have 9 more electives to choose from. 🙂

Fingers crossed for you @Blackcloud 😁😁😁

How is everyone doing today?

Cups of coffee/tea/choc all around?

@Shaz51 is it coffee time? 🙏☕️

What’s on for you guys today?

@AlwaysMyself @rav3n @strawberry2
@Ru-bee

I'm up for a coffee time @Chasingsunsets . 😊

I'm now back home from my morning duties. Laundry will be ready to hang out soon, so I might be absent for 10min or so at some stage.

Otherwise I think I'm only doing little housework chores like folding last weeks laundry (oops, delayed haha), and meal planning for the week, etc.

Would love some coffee chat whilst I do it 😊

Omg imagine if there was a voice-chat realtime ability (i know, they wouldn't be able to moderate it, so they cant, but im just dreaming here 😊 not complaining) and we could just chat whilst using our hands to do tasks or walking around, etc.

Wondering how everyone else's day has been, and what's been up to (or planned for later or weekend).

Hey @AlwaysMyself 😊 sorry for late reply!

I also have a day of errands, I get what you mean about being hands free would be much easier!!

Wishing you a day of productivity!

Yes please coffee ☕️ time @Chasingsunsets , @AlwaysMyself , @Blackcloud , @rav3n

@Shaz51 @Chasingsunsets @AlwaysMyself coffee time for me too! i told myself i'll get up to make coffee 15 mins ago and haven't budged haha. will be making it now!
