> Yeah.
> Still, it is nicer to have 'too many' options than it is to have 'not enough'. And the more you study the more opportunities you open up for yourself.your right. I know I should keep going and maybe relocating would do the trick. Maybe too much 'stuff' distracts me here and that is why school is so frustrating.

> You should have done philosophy :-)hehe, i know, i did think about it once
> Yup. Last I heard. A few people from philosophy went over to do that after completing honours in philosophy.i am so going to look into that! unless it is for the exceptionally smart students.
> May be the same case at different uni's in NZ. I don't know. Might be the case in Australia too. Check out the institutions.I will check, that sounds amazing.
> Hmm. Still not sure...
When someone has a drug or alcohol problem they some times pay a person called an interventionaist to come and spend a few days or what ever is needed to in a way take control of the situation. They sit All involved down and confront the user and provide all the possible options available for them, MINUS the possibility of continuing on the route they are on. The interventionist is a pretty agressive step I believe and with the confrontation the hopes are the user will see how much people care and that they will lose everything if they dont accept the conditions. At that pooint the usuer has to decide and often its treatment or the family says goodbye. does that make sense?
> Not quite. A 4 year undergrad degree from the US is comperable to a 3 year undergrad degree PLUS (one grad year of) honours. Those are supposed to be equivalent.

> Right. So, sort of doing a directed study in your last year.
> Sounds the same there.
> But we award bachelors after 3 years.
> A lot of people who make it to there aren't capable of making it any further. Hence the degree factory notion. But it changes for people doing honours. If you make it that far then things become different.Sounds the same, some places award a bachelors after 3 years and others dont and then you oten have an independent study. So yeah it does sound similar.
> Well... We have had 6 weeks of class, a 2 week study break, and 3 more weeks of class. Three weeks of class to go... But then there is another study break and then exams. But I don't do exams, so just 3 more weeks of class for me :-)
