I've just re-read some of your old posts to try and raise my motivation to study for the GAMSAT, I've got 'the fear' but I think I've lost my studying mojo for today!

You seem not to understand that with govt. gilt is at its lowest 3.5%, so you expect the government to pick the can up of the price difference between the interest they charge you and the amount they pay. Just because you are less financially well of and you might one day pay a higher rate, does not make you eligible to have more than others. And the fact that you did some voluntary work, well thats taking the piss, I guess it is a similar vein to how MP's would justify dodgy expenses.<br /><br />Also, as a med student, its bloody self-righteous to think medicine is a more 'worthy job' than others. All I can advocate is you find a little bit of humility and try and culture the idea that possibly this life is not all about 'I should be entitled to this, I should be entitled to that, someone call the wambulance because its not fair!'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3539913271644368523.post-11382749355440068952010-07-27T11:47:49.156+01:002010-07-27T11:47:49.156+01:00Thank you broken angel and grumpy, and the mysteri...Thank you broken angel and grumpy, and the mysterious jjkkll. I might be getting somewhere with getting funding, but it's not looking hopefull It seems the general consnsus is yes, you're right, but we still won't fund you. As for anonymous.... have you read any of the rest of my posts to find anything out about me, or have you just made a snap judgement? I'm a taxpayer, I've worked every holiday for the last 5 years and intend to continue doing so. For the term time periods when I can't do paid work I've done more than my fair share of community service, and not just because I wanted to look good on my PS. It's not like I'm asking for funding for a degree that won't get me a job at the end of it to pay it back, or that you could say being a Dr wasn't a worthy job, and I would eventually be on a pretty high tax band giving back to the country the way they gave to me. It's not like I can say oh well, the SFE won't fund me, I'll borrow from the bank of Mum and Dad instead, because they have nothing to give me at all, less than nothing in fact, they're borrowing from me atm. I wouldn't have such an issue with it if I'd been told all along I wouldn't get funding, but to be told I def would and then for them to change their minds for no reason, it's infuriating. Does that make it clearer for you?ilovehotchocolatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00412377291464647640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3539913271644368523.post-90334374969881635552010-07-26T19:56:35.457+01:002010-07-26T19:56:35.457+01:00Student Finance really are the pits...I totally ge...Student Finance really are the pits...I totally get that feeling you're talking about, that sometimes everything in life seems to be conspiring against you to stop you getting into medicine.
