I'm about to start my 3rd year at Derby Uni, studying Radiography. At the moment I'm meant to be revising cuz I failed one of my exams. Not only is Facebook an addiction of mine which lures me away from my books, I now have you guys!! :evillaugh:
My friend Nikki (MrsR) told me to join when I lost my furbaby almost 2 weeks ago, as she thought it would help me cope with losing her, and not only have you guys been fab, I now have another addiction! ;)
I'd much rather be on here talking all things feline that reading about subarrachnoid haemorrhages!!! :P
Possum.....if you can hear me.....daddy & I miss you so much baby girl. Come & visit us soon.... xx :'( :Luv:

This is a very good place to get distracted in, just not whilst your revising :evillaugh:
My friend's a radiographer - she's taken a year out to travelling at the mo but enjoys the job! :)

I often have the same problem :evillaugh: I am often posting on here with part-written assignments due the following day :evillaugh:
I failed one exam this year but luckily for me, they compensated it to a pass as I passed all the others. Due to start my 2nd year BSc in Animal Management in a few weeks :scared: (as a VERY mature student :evillaugh: )
When I did my science foundation, we were told we could apply for an interview for radiography and I came close to applying, but then decided I should continue with animal science.

It is quite an addictive site. :)

Mark, I like how you describe yourself as a VERY mature student!! How mature is VERY?? lol
There's quite a mixed bunch in my year....we've got the babies who have come from school (20/21), folks like me who are in there 30s and then there's a couple who are in their 50s. We all get on so well, got a really good cohort!
When I was in my late teens, I attempted a National Diploma in Animal Care at Brackenhurst College but had to leave because I developed bad animal related asthma!! How ironic... I was gutted. Can't go near guinea pigs or rabbits without wanting to combust and I'm not great around cats and ferrets but I REFUSE to stop having them as pets because I love them far too much!! :evillaugh:
I actually want to quit my course, its not how I imagined. I would rather have a family! But of course in the real world I shall carry on (otherwise my other half would kill me!!)

VERY MATURE = 48 :evillaugh: - given that i have 2 years to go, IF I graduate, I will be 50. One of our gripes is although we have all kinds of animals onsite, we don't get as much hands-on as we would like. The animal care courses such as HNDs spend a lot of time with them but the BSc is a lot of theory - luckily, not all otherwise I would have given up by now. There is a dairy and a large herd of sheep + pigs, Llamas, goats, horses (They do equine courses there), + lots of small animals, reptiles & birds. Last year, the PDSc behaviour, FDSc Conservation & BSc Animal Management shared a lot of lectures. There are quite a few older people, including a woman in her 60s - but this year I will be the oldie :evillaugh:
I love the animal stuff and doing things like visiting WHF, but sometimes wonder what I am doing there when it gets a bit hardcore with biology etc - I hated doing dissection. My least favourite part is business management - I hate it. Luckily my OH has an MBA so I can get help at home :evillaugh:
