What now?

So I've applied for a Post-Study Work Permit Visa with the UK Home Office.
Apparently, it takes 4 weeks to process an application. It's been 4 weeks but no news.

It's a pain in the arse as it costs £400 and in the mean time, companies don't seem to want to hire me because of the lack of a work permit.
My 2.2 doesn't exactly help either.

If only somebody had told me when I was younger that BSc Biological Sciences holders who want to work in a lab don't get paid much, but it's the managers that manage the scientists that get all the money.


I don't know what it is, but recently I've been seeing more Korean people. I could have chosen not to but I do. From 1st and 2nd year where I virtually met none, and in 3rd year when I met about 3, I have now met over 15 Koreans. I'm not entirely sure how I feel around them but some of them find me funny, some of them admire me and also, from what I've heard, I've managed to offend some people too (not surprisingly).
