So I have a mental puzzle that I've been trying to figure out for some time. So the thing is I really really want to go to postgraduate school in Britain. Why? Why else – culture, history, beer, women and socialised health-care. This has been one of my long-term goals for quite a while now – but I've never been able to figure out how exactly I should go about doing it. "Use the internet," Everyone tells me – but the thing is I'm really terrible with using the internet. See I'm rather "old-fashioned" in a lot of ways – meaning when it comes to learning I'm absolutely archaic – I like to get information from books and I prefer personal correspondence to obtain information. In an ideal scenario I would just call someone and say, "Hello my name is so and so and these are my qualifications and this is what I'm interested in doing. Could you please give me information on how I may go about doing this." But in the internet age – everything is a bloody FAQ or message board or an endless string of Google searches. Like I said it's really that I'm just terrible at using the internet. And what makes it even more frustrating is that every time I do find some bit of information on "International Students" it's obviously intended for students who do not speak English instinctively. Of course I speak English! It's the only language I can use without first doing arduous mental translations (for the record I also know a bit of Mandarin and Latin). I'm frustrated.
So again, I really want to go to postgraduate school inBritain. I have Bachelor's degrees in Fine Arts and Biology. In May I'll graduate with a Master's degree in Biology. I have very good grades. I'm interested in doing either Law, History or staying in Biology (I'm actually thinking I'd like Environmental Law – and yes I'm quite aware that my academic interests seem flippant and all-over-the-place – but really I just like to learn about things). So if anyone actually reads this and knows anything at all – well I'd be mighty obliged.
