Hey Emo (HI to everyone also)
I'm so glad you came back and yes I hear you about BF, well I sorted him out lol you'd be proud of me.
As I'M SO PROUD OF YOU! Huge hugs. Stay linked here and wherever else you can, you WILL get there. I don't just have confidence in you, I have 100% confidence in you.
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you with the Uni info (I won't fill you in on the capers here of both ends of the spectrum lol), here it is; Alexa said she did her first psych degree thru Southern Cross University and she found them "great"!
I won't mention the next one's name, Covid was involved, it was messy, she left.
Now she's doing her Honours 2y part time.
We're in NSW.
I asked her a bit but if you have more questions I can relay them to her & give you her response.
I asked about HOW and WHERE she did her exams as I was thinking of your situation.
That the Uni organises a place for you to do your exams and she thinks they usually take place within Uni grounds, at a Uni closest to you. BUT they may organise a different place. She said you can email questions to them directly also.
Just aside point I was just thinking about re: your entry quals.
The Psych degree was Alexa's 3rd, she used her HSC mark to get into the Journalism one.
Then piggy backed off those marks etc etc cascading into the next etc.
Yvette told me yesterday (not sure if it's true but sounds likely) that in NSW a student's HSC Mark or ATAR only lasts 3y. Omg... so it "expires".
If THIS is the case for you then the Uni you plan to enrol in needs to answer which "Bridging Course" you need to complete to gain ENTRY as an enrolment in the Psych Degree.
Quite a few of my friends my age have completed the 1y Bridging Course at Uni first.
Maybe I'll speak to you more through my thread re: visualising your new life and HOW to get there. I won't have all the answers BUT more often than not, when you DECIDE upon a destination, then opportunities will come into your path.
Re: Centrelink payments.
You need to speak with a Centrelink Social Worker.
You can tell them you are "separated under the same roof" and you have zero financial resources at your disposal.
Please be as open with them as you can, mentioning DV helps.
Lots of love
EM
