I get so confused with all the time zones  - the only time I know what time it is anywhere is when I'm using my iPad as it's got a world clock app on it. 

actually in the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login there was a countdown clock and it had several different time zone clocks.

This has nothing to do with anything, but, I have just been to Tesco to pick up some veg for tomorrow and there wasn't a potato or green bean in sight.   

The world has gone mad it's only Mothers day for crying out loud!

zombie attack!!!!!!!!!!

Where are you that it's mother's day? I thought Mother's Day was in May everywhere 

The UK - it is usually in March but towards the end.

Stopped by Clintons to buy a birthday card today, the queue was out of the shop! Absolutely crazy. There was also no chickens or pork roasting joints in Tesco by me It looked like some sort of apocalypse scene!


So I have to use this very complicated online system to pick my dissertation topic. We have to choose 3 we're most interested in and they'll offer one of them - if they can't offer us any then you have to pick again, though of course this time there's less there and you get shafted with something crap. There is one that I'm interested in, but it seems to require you to take a full year out working on it before you can enter in third year and start writing it up.. trying to decide if it's worth it, though being in education for another 3 years doesn't appeal.

So far I've requested a dance therapy topic for working with special needs kids, another on group learning in schools and one on false memories in children. Fingers crossed I get at least one of them!

I know what you mean - I went to our "big" Tesco a couple of hours a go and it was like the end of the world was here or something as peeps were everywhere and for some reason there was no yoghurt's, milk or cheese.
So I'm presuming that all Mums in my area (probably including myself) are getting dairy products for Mother's Day gifts.

Mmmm dairy - just what you always wanted.  Based on that theory I'm in for a real treat tomorrow - I wonder if they will be mashed, boiled or roasted.

Which is the one that you would prefer that takes an extra year then?

Why is the process so complicated?

It's a shame I'm lactose intolerant!!!

You can never have enough dairy Loops. 

I'm now thinking of excuses to get rid of the kids either now or tomorrow - you know just to make sure I get my daily dairy intake.

The dance therapy one requires a year, from the looks of it. I'd be working in a school a few days a week (unpaid, mind) and helping implement a dance therapy program, then doing questionnaires etc to test it's effectiveness. The only thing I'm confused by is that if I do that for a year, surely when I come back in the September afterward I'll have no project left to do, and technically you're not meant to begin writing it up until the start of 4th year.

I have no idea why it's so complicated, but I feel as if I need a degree just to work it all out! They give a research title, then a brief description and you have to 'request project' if you're interested. They have 'selection waves' where they give out projects to people and because there's 400 people in my year group, competition is fierce. If you don't get any of the ones you want, you have to choose again out of what's left (i.e. what other people didn't want). It means you can end up doing something you have no interest in, and considering it's a whole experiment you need to devise, run and analyse - that's no fun!

Psychology degrees aren't half confusing, and that's just the admin side!

Me too!!!   

I know this is off topic but has anyone watched Cosmopolis yet? I haven't grown the balls to just do it. I have heard things and I'm afraid it will turn all "Tarantino" on me and thats another psychlogical scar I just don't need.

I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend.

I haven't seen it yet! It doesn't attract me    

Happy mothers day to all Uk members!
