potential return to university and a christmas trip to Scandinavia triumph over tedious job and a dull weekend

I am not sure whether to go back to university. I did some research yesterday and i think what i'd want to do is an M.Sc in foundations for clinical psychology. I did a bit of research and the places that do this sort of course are:

Sussex - Foundations of Clinical Psychology and mental health M.Sc

Bangor - Foundations of Clinical Psychology M.Sc

Swansea - Abnormal and Clinical Psychology M.Sc

Glasgow (too far away and too many knives so definitely not)

Bournemouth - Foundations of Clinical Psychology

Newman's Birmingham - Clinical applications of Psychology leading to a doctorate if you are good.
(i could commute but another year at home might actually drive ME mad let alone trying to understand other people's madness)

And there is one at Kings College London. (But I am excluding that one considering how that has links with the Institute of Psychiatry so is probably the best one in the country apart from Cambridge which i am not even going to put on this list), and i am not sure how i am even going to pay the tutution fees let alone accommodation/living anywhere let alone London i can pretty much rule that one out too).

Sussex, Swansea and Bournemouth are all quite appealing. Its just the advanced statistics modules that are putting me off. But if I ever want to get into research I am going to have have to somehow master statistics... I am just not sure at the moment. The sort of jobs I have been applying for I am just so under qualified, and Psychology graduates are so numerous. I think without a masters and a lot of voluntary work experience I don't stand a chance. Also the good thing about a clinical M.Sc is that there are placements which would be such good experience and things to write about in a covering letter, rather than trying to stretch out the volunteering i did at Sheffield for the Saturday playgroup for children with special needs and my job at the children's after school maths club.

its just an idea. the application process is a bit daunting though, and i need references from my Sheffield tutors times a large number. Getting into more debt for studying means that I have to be absolutely sure i want to do this and can do this. so i need to think about it more...

I am really looking forward to going to Scandinavia when my job at Coaster House finishes though. I was looking at the Atlas, and my dad recommended getting the ferry from Stockholm to Helsinki, so if the flights are ok, i want to fly to Sweden, then get the ferry to Finland and then fly back from Finland. I am going to buy a Polaroid camera and Laura is going to take some special film for her Holga. We are going to buy really warm winter hats and stay in a youth hostel.
