Mixed Emotions

A brief reflection

Finishing Uni back in May, was not what I expected.

I felt very lost for a couple of months having gone from being terribly busy and being prepared to feeling happy and relieved that I had completed my course, to feeling a sense of loss and deep sadness. 

The loss not only at losing two family members, but more so a sense of grief at having completed university, at not having the routine and deadlines in my life, and at not seeing friends on a daily basis. It was not how I expected to feel, and that made it worse. 

People around me had no idea, and so didn't or couldn't support me. While other felt a sense of elation and excitement at finishing their undergraduate studies, I didn't, I wasn't scared or worried about the future, just not excited. 

Graduation

Yesterday was graduation day. 

Finally, after four years I graduated. I say finally, but actually, those four years have flown by and I'm left feeling a little sad that it's over. I'm missing the work, missing my coursemates, friends and missing university life.

However I am also looking forward to the future challenges of a master's, and now wondering if I should go for the MA by research as originally planned or do I go to Leeds for the taught master's. 

Decisions, Decisions.

Graduation Day and No 2nd offer yet

Graduation Day today from my BA (Hons) Course.

It went well but feeling rather sad as no offer yet from my preferred university despite it being almost two weeks since the interview.

I decided to email (not expecting a response till Monday). However, got a response almost straight away with an offer.

So happy now.
