lil bitchiness
At the end of my second year in Criminology, I have applied to go on a ''placement'' in America, either Eastern Michigan University or Dallas.
Some people who are also going on a placement in America are going for an actual placement, i.e placement of work there, for few months. Myself and few others are going to an actual university to study for this time. This was the choice. We could either do a 'placement' i.e. ''work'' in a field of your study, or do a module i.e study. We could substitute one module here for the one we're are to do in America.
Of course, I picked the study of a module rather than work.
Now, the other half of my Criminology degree is actualy Sociology sleepy yah, i know, and instead of substituting a Criminology module for the one in America, I have decided to substitute a Sociology module, because it would be such a shitty module to do...its called
''Critical Social Analysis''
Ugh, i get a headache just by thinking about what i would have to do there. I am really good at all my criminology stuff, and substituting a criminology module would suck for me.
So the problem starts here. I would like to go to EMU rather than Dallas, because
a) I will be all alone in Dallas (no people i know or have talked to before are going)
b) Dallas is far far away down south
c) Some weirdos are going
Whom i dont know, since they are doing a degree in business or something
My problem is that, because I substituted shitty sociology module, it is in my ''academic intereset''rolleyes1 to do a module in Economics at Dallas University.
I however dont want to do this. I want to do another Crimiology or even a sociology one, but at EMU! not Dallas!! Dallas is where business studies people go...cry and some other people from my course ive never heard of.
There are quite a few people going to Dallas (mostly business studies and economic studies people) and of course...me.
I have few choices:
- I can either risk it all by sending my application at the last day available and pray that the Dallas places will be full so they let me go to MEU?
- Blatently handing in my application for the Michigen alone and risk not getting in...maybe
unsure about it though
- Pick another module to substitute and go to Michigen no problemo (even though might not be the greatest advantage in my academic view
)
- Just go to Dallas, do the module in Economics with bunch of business studies people, be alone and miserable for few months and come back home
What do you guys think i should do?
Ive been to a meeting today with my tutor which was ment to solve the problem, but it didnt, we just went in circles.

you'll make tons of new friends, and it's a totally new experience even if you are on your own, just more freedom 
well warmer than Michigan....you gotta go where you would benefit the most I think.
