You think just get it over and done with?
Yeah
It is the one I'm inclined towards

Only thing that is making me a bit hesitant, and that might be because I only recently finished so I'm still kinda burned out from it, is the workload that entails.

The first two years were an utter breeze because they had zero challenge, Y3 was a bit hellish because I went from one module to three (one large, two med) so the prospect of doing two large modules is a bit... discouraging I guess.
Whenever you get discouraged, just think about how the alternative is getting up at 5AM to work at McDonald's. That should put some fire up your ass.
Heh, good point.

The content of the modules is the other thing on my mind though, social psychology is barely relevant whereas forensic is as good as it gets. I'm not too sure how to balance up learning stuff that's useful for the future over getting the degree done and dusted.

I'm facing a lovely choice this month with what I do for the next year at university and I could do with any suggestions or thoughts you guys may have.

Short summary for those who might not already know

I'm doing a pseudoscience degree (psychology) through the UK's online/distance university, partly because it's cheaper by a significant margin (plus very low living costs and being able to work whilst studying) and partly because when I was going to start a degree I was a pretty unwell creature.

A typical psychology degree takes 3 years, this one is projected at four years because of the way they set up the introductory year (broken into a waste of 9 months and a psychology 101 for 9 months) as two. So I'm already gonna be a year behind the average but that's fine by me.

This next year though, rather than being able to do the core module (50% of the credits) and a good options module (the other 50%) I have core and three shit-tier options.

Core
-Psychology 103

Options
-Social Psychology 102: electric boogaloo (The wasted Y1 was social psychology 101, I don't want half of Y4 to be wasted)
-Sport Psychology (Completely irrelevant to my career plans)
-Ethical and Methodological issues in research with young children (literally kill me now)

The one I want to do as an option is Forensic Psychology, but that's not available for another year.

So my choices boil down to
A) Do Psych 103 and Social 102, get it all over and done with and graduate this time next year
Which just involves 9 months of heavy course-load (fine) and utterly painful pseudoscience (not fine) but then that's it all done and I have a psychology degree.

B) Do Psych 103 and defer the options module for a Year 5 to hopefully do Forensic Psychology
This means I've got an easier next two years course-load wise, I can get more relevant work experience while I study too. The downside of course is that it's another two years at university, I'm already looking at another 6 years minimum before I'm done with higher education ontop of the 5 I've already done so adding another year to that timescale sucks shit through a straw.

So, any thoughts chaps?

Note: I am of course going to be discussing this with the student advisory team for my uni, but it's a friday night when they sent the response so I've gotta wait until monday and it's bothering me an awful lot.

As in sow the fields with seeds/crops.

The idea being that they just steal everything they want/need like the disgusting gannets that they are.

Sure, there will be a few of us playing later tonight if you want to join in then

It is such a pain in the ass to figure out when you're online ya know that?
I am a ghost

Or you are always offline.

Anyways. If you are actually doing it today just invite gamer x7 42 to whatever.
That is very often the case

I think I stopped being 'online-online' in august last year, the two times that I've actually gone online due to death threats and screaming at me via request have both resulted in the stalker friend sending me some passive-aggressive :))))))))))))) message on skype. So nowadays it's just psy the ghost.

I was saying to the lads last night that an overtime system would be nice for it.

Say you are lighting up the boss who is on 10% health but you time out, you should get an extension with no respawns to see if those left alive can bring it down because it can get a bit frustrating to lose at the last hurdle for those waves <_<

Oh yeah.

You got Halo.

Until I read it in the books, it's a case of 'that's nice dear'.
George will  never finish the books he's got too much skrilla from HBO now
Which I'm honestly fine with

That was stannis remains the one true king forever and ever. Impervious to bad fanfiction.
the one true king in the north Ramsey "mad dog" Bolton will kill Jon in the books
I am fine with this too

okay so i'm broadening the definition of "ultra weeb" as someone who has seen more anime than your average weeb to a point where they frequently talk about it or build their internet presence off of it--bonus points if they've immersed themselves in japanese culture in some way (learning moon, importing jap merch, doing cringe-y shit IRL involving anime)--but the key thing is that they must actively watch a lot of anime

hentai-watching, waifu-having, or /d/-browsing is no longer a requirement for anything (not that they were ever)

this places ian, yutaka, byrne, psy, and ossku in the ultraweeb section

gasai and zen are now former weebs

are there any objections
yes

I still want a special category because nobody else on here can speak moon

It should also stand as a lesson of the perils of studying moonrunes in school, it led me to animeme not vis-versa. Save your souls children, avoid jap classes.
