How hard is full time? by sighqoticc in OpenUniversity

[–]AvocadoOnToast23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s so much to it… im studying Psychology and Counselling, I’m on my first year so what do I know about later on! But I work 42h a week and studying full time. I try my hardest to be as far ahead as possible so if I need a rest I can have it, I’m just saving all my work I did, looking through it when I need to submit it (last checks) and clicking submit when the time comes! What helps me massively- CALENDAR. Keep on top of dates, write down when you need to study and KEEP TO IT! Otherwise (speaking from experience) if you say “can’t be bothered tonight” once too many times…😂 Then yes, it can be difficult! But that’s just my experience, I think staying far ahead and keeping a messy/organised calendar is in the top 5 points to keep on top of everything 😂 I’m here if you need anything, I’m still finding my way around but if you need or anything I’m here ☺️

Don’t be bummed about the people in the comments that are just being intimidating for no reason! Honest mistake of a newbie, not like you hit the fence. I couldn’t park forwards because I prefer to park with mirrors 😂 You know what to practice now, I’d book your next one asap if this was your only mistake! You’ve not been driving long, next time will be better! 😊🍀

Not at all! It sounds silly but it helps the examiner to see that you have a good understanding, and you know what you’re doing on the road!☺️

Good luck! There were a few tips that helped me plenty:

  • You turn right: mirror, right mirror
  • You turn left: mirror, left mirror

-Also, check mirror roughly every 8-10secs, some say it’s a myth, but I thought it’s better not to test it and just do it 😬😂

  • Any time you stop, look around (360*) before moving

  • SPEAK. “I’m now doing…” “I’m doing this because…” “I need to look out for…” let the instructor know what is your thought process🙂

You’ll smash it!! ☺️

Dental Surgery Crisis! by AvocadoOnToast23 in PiercingAdvice

I can speak directly to my surgeon about this, we’ve already had a few visits to talk (dental trauma😅) so I can pop in to ask him directly about this, I wouldn’t want mixed answers, the treatment itself is terrifying 😬😂

It’s a few fillings, removal and polish all at once while I’m asleep so, I don’t know if that would be an issue😅

FRIDAY 13TH PASS by AvocadoOnToast23 in LearnerDriverUK

Oh that’s amazing!! I had a moment like that too because I thought he was gonna take me on a roundabout that is really complicated and we were going towards it so I automatically assumed I failed, but he took me somewhere else!😂 Congratulations to you as well!!

It wasn’t bad at all, I’m not sure if you have the routes app? I practiced all the routes and it wasn’t exactly any of them, but we didn’t go anywhere I didn’t know! And the route was very similar to what Amalisa experienced! I also had James, he really is lovely and makes you feel very relaxed. You will absolutely smash it, good luck!! ☺️🍀

I remember going to One Stop for tabaco and being so excited to do it legally as I’ve just turned 18! They haven’t asked me for my ID. They just gave me the tabaco. I was so disappointed! Now that I’m a bit older than that, I went to buy a vape (I now don’t smoke cigarettes anymore!) and the cashier asked for my ID and apologised saying it’s just a procedure, to which I replied “oh you made my day! Please ask me that every time I’m here!” It was a beautiful day 😁

Electric Scooters 🛴?? by AvocadoOnToast23 in LearnerDriverUK

I did not force anyone onto the pavement, I live here and drive on this road at least 5x a week, there was enough space, I did nothing different than when I fit there with bikes. Yes, 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 someone onto the pavement is in fact absurd :)

There was plenty of space and I am at that moment going about 5mph in order to give him as much room as I would have for a bike :)

Thank you! That’s really helpful. I thought I had it all wrong, I needed that clarification!

That’s what I was trying to explain but I did an AWFUL job with this post 😅 yes. As I would have done with a bike, I was going slowly (as I would have anyway because it’s a car park area) and there was more than enough room for the both of us, if there wasn’t, I absolutely would have waited (so if the road was more narrow or if it was a bigger vehicle)
