Not for now, I'm in a sort of limbo.
After 2 weeks I've contacted that company with which I've sustained two interviews, but as answer they told me that they were still deciding, concluding that I would have known something after other 2 weeks (anyhow), that is from tomorrow.

Good idea starting this thread.
I'm trying to improve my english like
You all!
Branca, even if I don't know You
I wish You will receive a positive result from the
job interview. I'm 25 and I have 4 exams left
before starting my master thesis, I think
I 'm going to shed tears..
I study engineering.
I don't feel very confident in writing
english thus all corrections are welcome.

Hi seven, thanks a lot for your wish :)

What kind of engineering are you studying? I seem to remember mechanical, are you?
About your last exams, I think I can understand you: my final period as graduating is been very tormented, I was so stressed that I lost sleep for months. But don't give up, I'm sure you'll make it :smt023

What would you like to do next? Do you will try to gain a PhD, to frequent a Master or directly to dive into job's world?

You are right, mechanical.
The fact that I don't have a clear aim doesn't help me!
I can't continue with a Phd because I don't like the engineering field thus I should find a job, but that probably I could hate. I admit l'm not positive right now.
While You get stressed, I get depressed..
I'm sleeping a lot and I have stopped my normal activities,
I'm housebound but I don't succed to study hard, too many thoughts and regrets. I apologize, it's not pleasant to read this, I know.

Yes, it's very very sad to read these your words :(
I'm very sorry for you, but (please excuse me for my indiscreet) why don't you like engineering? Or maybe I should say why do you chose it? What did you spur to begin engineering and not something else?

*did You choose
*What spurred you

At the beginning I thought engineering could open more doors and that could be interesting As much As math.
I started to study in a small branch of a bigger university
and I quite enjoied the first two years because the exams were almost about physics and math. The ma in thing that spur me was that choosing to study there I didn't need to move from my city and waste money or take the train every day. After the bachelor I believed I was in the wrong place to study engineering, but then I understood that I chose the wrong faculty and not the wrong university.

Well... about English: my teacher of English says that we must use "to catch" for transport (train, bus, coach...), but I have read many time to take the train instead to catch the train

Maybe Camillo will help us.

about you: I understood I had taken the wrong branch when I was at the second year, but in our lifes there much more thing besides studies, so I took my degree in time and I started to work. I love maths so I go on with studying. A lot of people do that.

Catch the train ir correct, while take the train is not.
It is the same difference between " I missed the train " ( correct) and "I lost the train " -not correct since it means you had the train in your pocket but you lost it . :-D
