My families adventure on the road to oz via Germany

I will get a degree after all.

After speaking with an educational advisor i have decided not to resit my exam, the stress would be too much for me to cope with. Instead i  have changed the degree i am aiming for. I am no longer going for the BSc in Health and Social Care with honours. Instead once i have completed and passed my next course i will be able to graduate with a BSc open degree with no honours. I still have the option of topping up my degree to honours at a later date if i want to .

Now ive made the decision i feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. In the past i would have thought i was taking the easy route or the cowards way out. My parents may even feel that is what i have done. But having suffered the breakdown i dont want to over load the amount of stress i will have. The exam would be in April and i would be a few months into my next course by then, possibibly even doing an assignment at the same time. So to ensure i pass my next course i am going to concentrate all my efforts on to that. I feel that is the most sensible thing to do. Especially when i dont know where i am going to be living after the new year. Nor do we know when we will get to live in oz.

V is still applying for jobs in both oz and the UK and unfortunatly still not getting anything positive.

However we did get an email from South West Victoria about a recruitment team looking for work with sponsorship avaliable, so there is still some hope.

Well ive got a mountain of laundry to do so best get on   

Fantastic news!

Its amazing how talking through your options and deciding on a way forward makes you feel. A huge weight lifted as opposed to battling along, dreading the worst. Good on you for taking control!
