A friend emailed me in a huge flurry of panic and told me the new clinical training application forms are out. The mature part of me thought I should say "Thats very interesting" and carry on with what I was doing. Nothing to do with me anymore, surely.
Did I do that? Did I bollocks. Curiosity didn't just kill the cat, it stuffed its corpse, propped it up in the front window with a big sign saying LOOK WHAT I JUST DID. My first reaction was "whu!?" 100 word limits and tiny weeny boxes. Did the selection people suddenly lose the ability to read long paragraphs? Or are they expecting application forms to be like personal ads in the newspaper. You know "Young, sexy grad seeks long term career for good fun and maybe a bit more. If you like me call me on PO Box 98".
My second reaction was. "Bloody hell. I am glad I am not doing that!". Also the price of the application has gone up (hasn't it? It wasnt this expensive before was it? Or am I going potty?). Needless to say that the frenzy among my friends has started up again, and I am not missing the heartache and obsessive checking-rechecking. Hmm, just when I thought I had broken my ClinPsy habit it looks like I may get sucked back in.

Don't get sucked in!! Think how hard/stressful/etc. it was before the recession; it'll be so much worse now...
Oh I am so far sucked in it's not true and I quite like the new form :) But then I never attempted the old one.
And I'm pretty sure the fee has always been £25. But it would be nice to reminisce that it was cheaper like when petrol was 80p a litre...
