change of heart

well... I had a feeling I'd do this - typical to me, I have changed my mind!

it happened after me and paul had had a bit of a tiff, nothing major, and for some reason I got to thinking "this is stupid, the whole reason I applied for Forensics in the first place was because it's something I want to do and not something I feel I should do.... and here I am on the verge of accepting an offer to a uni I feel I should go to rather than the one i want to go to!"

soooo... I am going to take up the offer from UWS Paisley! I just got such a good vibe from there and the course is quite a bit more 'hands on' where you're also taught about the correct methods in collecting evidence, as well as analysing it. OK so they don't have a DNA sequencer, but that's only a very small part of it all. I love how the course is designed for Forensic Scientists by Forensic Scientists, how they have guest lecturers, hands on workshops, and probably most importantly, the oppertunity to go out for a year's paid placement to gain valuable 'in the real world' experience! I've always been a very 'hands on' type of girl, all my jobs have been very physical and so has my education since leaving school, lots of 'doing' rather than just sitting in a classroom making notes, it's the sort of learning I'm used to and feel works well for me.

I'm really glad now that I held off in putting my decision in, I knew I was hesitant about doing it for some reason...

yes it is going to be more trouble getting there, I'm going to have to take the car as public transport will take me over 2 hours each way, but this is going to be my last shot at going, so I'm gonna darn well make sure I'm doing what I want to do, and where I want to do it!

though I'm still not going to put in my decision just yet, just incase I change my mind... again :P
