Ah, sorry my mistake. I have never seen the abbreviation so. I just presumed you're son as we were talking about him earlier. Damn, you found me out. Ok you win. I'd say collectively above average, my IQ is 158. But I particularly like science, especially physics & genetics.

I spend entirely too much time on Reddit. :\
They use it all the time there, bad habit.



I need a detective hat.
And a bubble pipe.

That's awesome.
My son likes science a lot too.

Are you planning on getting in any kind of field in your interests?
Or are you now?
If you previously mentioned I apologize, I have a terrible memory.

I'm hoping to go to University next year. But that depends on my husband getting a decent paying job. I've had to work full time up to this point while my husband is studying. He's doing his degree in physiology. I'm not completely sure wether or not I'm study physics or genetics yet. I would really like to be an astrophysicist but I also wouldn't mind being a geneticist & jobs are easier to come by in genetics. So I think I might study general science for a year, so I do a bit of study in both & see which I enjoy studying more, before I make a final decision.

That's amazing.
I've never spoke to anyone who wanted to go into those fields before.
It's so sweet that you're taking care of things while he gets his degree.
It seems like you have a great marriage, that's awesome.

I hope that as soon as he gets a job you're able to jump right into school.
Good luck in all of it.

Thanks, but all relationships require a bit of give & take. I've been the main income earner up until now but to do either of those degrees will take me 9 years, so that means we'll be depending on his income for the next 9 years now.
Thanks, I hope all goes to plan. It will be a big adjustment though the Uni I want to go to is in Sydney & I've lived in the country all my life. So I think it will seem very daunting living in a large city at first.

I know, but you'd be surprised at how many people don't realize they do.
Kind of mind-boggling and disappointing actually..

Wow, that's dedication.
I don't know if I could do 9 years of schooling like that, but I stopped liking school a long time ago.

Yeah, cities are a huge change.
Personally I don't care much for them, though my sister adores them.

Good luck adjusting.

[evilevilmonkey]

Yeah 9 years of studying is a long time but I think it isn't to bad when you're study something you love.

I'm sure I'll adjust, it will just take a while. But I'm also sure I'm going to get lost a million times before I do. After living in a small country town all my life I find the city so confusing.

[(V) (`m`) (V) ︵ ┻━┻]

Yeah, that'll make it much easier I'm sure.
And since you're so passionate about it, it'll probably be fun too.

Yeah, but sometimes that's when you find the best restaurants, meet the coolest people, find the prettiest architecture.. or get mugged. >.>
Be careful not to get mugged. <.<

How does your husband feel about moving to the city?

[evilevilmonkey]

That's true. I suppose you could look at getting lost as an adventure in which you might find awesome things. lol. Fortunately the uni is in a really good area of sydney, so the chances of getting mugged are pretty low. However the downside is to that is the rent is extortionately high we'll be looking at paying anywhere from $500-$650 a week. But fortunately for us one of Geoff friends from uni is also looking to move to sydney so we're planning on sharing a house to make it more affordable for all of us.

My husband has also always lived in the country, so he also feels a bit uneasy about moving to the city. But I'm choosing to look on the positive side. I'm sure once we've been there a while & discovered all the awesome restaurants & shops & made a bunch of new nerdy friends, we'll be like wow why didn't we come & live in the city sooner.
