I may be going to England.

Nothing is sure yet.

My girlfriend decided she wants to move to Bristol to study medicine there (she wants to be a shrink). I decided I may follow her, as soon as I can manage.

It's not sure she's going yet, but if she goes, I get to build a whole new life with my love in a different country.

:)

(My plan is to finish my own education in England when I go there.)
 
I love Bristol University... Bristol is a really nice place for an English city.
Hopefully your girlfriend will get onto the course because, as everyone knows, it's extremely competitive. I was rejected from all four of the universities I applied to for Vet Medicine/Science and Bristol is one of the harder ones to get in to.
 
No no no.

I thought I had heard somewhere before that he was North American. I don't know where I got it from though, so sorry for the mix-up.

Have fun in England, Watershed.
 
It's not sure we're going - she got in but her parents don't really want to let her go (money, I think?) - they did it as a safeguard in case she failed her first year a second time at ULB (Brussels). She originally wanted to go two years ago but her parents and her decided it wasn't a good idea, and she enrolled here instead. She failed her first year of ULB (their medicine system is fucked because Wallonia doesn't really have selective entries, leading to a lot of competition in the first year and 10% passing or so). She was enrolled last year for the same reason, but she decided to try again here. She is going to pass now - most likely it won't be an issue that she *has* to go, but she's gotten so sick of Brussels that she wants to go.


So there might be an issue there. All *I* need to do is tie up the loose ends of my bachelor's degree and I can follow her to England for a master's degree. I won't go to Bristol though. (I am looking at a few things, such as Bath).

Blastoise - I'm 100% Dutch, but I've lived in Canada for a couple years as a young child.
 
Poor Blastoise says one little thing and gets mauled.
 
i was going to say the same thing, ruby.

was it really that much of a far-out assumption? what's with all the offense taken?

in any case, i'm glad things are turning out for you, altmer/watershed/whatever.

Ah, I see. Sorry about that, I thought you'd just assumed he was North American. Lots of people tend to think America and England = the English-speaking world.

...bit OTT to call it getting mauled, Ruby, and I don't think anyone was genuinely offended? >_> Sheesh, it was a simple mistake sorted out in a single post.

(also good luck altmer if you go)
 
I'd be a nitpick and say "the Netherlands is not an English-speaking country" but it would be beside the point of this thread
 
You'll get mauled saying things like that, Watershed.
