Hey guys,
So it's friday afternoon and the end of my first week as a postgraduate student at Loughborough and I think the first thing to note is that I SURVIVED! I know that sounds silly but honestly, I was terrified of starting a new course at a brand new uni, I mean making new friends is always a little daunting.
Being back in a lecture theater felt so right for me although the ratio of international to home students did shock me at first and I won't lie I did feel a little out place. By the end of the lecture the prospect of a group assignment was a little worrying, I'd gone three hours without conversing with another student how was I meant to find four other people to work with?!
Day two and three things got easier, and finally I've met some people who seem like they will not only become good friends but also intelligent allies on my course. Having completed my first week of lectures I'm excited to get deeper into my modules and weirdly nervous yet eager to tackle of all the work that's flooding my way already.
I am fully aware that the next year is going to be incredibly tough but I can't express how reassuring it is to have a routine again and to find myself being challenged again on a daily basis. It's clear, I love education, perhaps too much!
Here's to a year of hardwork with a side dish of fun
