Thank you so much @Former-Member 🙂 🙂
Happy birthday to your mum too!!

[Former-Member]

I've just poured myself a very long, very double G&T.
@Former-Member - what do you want?

[Former-Member]

A bloody big Bacardi and coke @Former-Member. Followed by another or maybe a bottle of sparkling Shiraz or maybe vodka lots of it but that might get scary. I'll start first with the whinge. I'm so f****g dumb that I messed up my test to get into tafe. Seriously don't know what the f I'll ever do with my life. Your turn 😝

[Former-Member]

Oh @Former-Member, you don't know for sure that you haven't gotten in. What did you want to study again? (I forget, I'm sorry!)
I'm so crap at my job that I won't get my contract extended and I'll be unemployed yet again!

[Shaz51]

I will join you @Former-Member

Pour the same for me @Former-Member xx

[Former-Member]

Whinge fest only tonight- take a drink and let it all out!

[Former-Member]

Hi @Shaz51 👋

I wanted to study a cert 4 in mental health but I didn't follow the instruction and missed two thirds of the writing assessment. I have my score. Did fine with reading and can't believe I did ok in the maths which was my best score.
And you don't know about your job @Former-Member. Please don't let it worry you yet. Youve had such a tough time. Let's hope something works out. I have faith in you.

[Former-Member]

How are you going @Shaz51?

[Former-Member]

Oh, you'd be great in Mental Health @Former-Member. Having people with a lived experience of mental health is so important. Can you try again if it doesn't work out in your favour?

I'm also bummed..... I had an extension for a unit I was studying and I just handed in the last assessment. I had barely done half of it. I just couldn't do it. I just can't think. So now I've failed that subject. I feel like such a failure. It will mess up my mark average and I will not be able to do a research project at the end. 

Sorry for whinging about study @Former-Member. I'm sure if you don't get in this time, you will if you try again. Can you apply for a single unit of the cert 4 and do that if you don't get in this time? There are always pathways to study - can you apply to sit the test again and claim illness? Write an essay to the course coordinator?

[Former-Member]

It's ok whinge away as long as you have a drink in your hand @Former-Member. I'm sorry you didn't make it. I know you would have loved to but it just wasn't meant to be. I really only wanted to study one subject for now anyway so I could acclimatise to it all. I'm not sure what will happen yet. I have to have an interview and the tester said to explain my mix up there. Maybe I could pull out an essay from the forum bahaha.
