Hello again,
Referring to my title and one of the most famous Christmas songs - its Christmaaaaaaas! This means that our jolly aul fella is coming, alongside exams, assignment due dates and most importantly - the wonders of working in retail at Christmas.
In fear of sounding negative, yet wanting to express my feelings at the same time, I've had a bit of a bad few weeks. My expectations and projections were unrealistic, and receiving rejection from a graduate programme I was certain I'd get had brought me crashing and fumbling back to reality. I'm handling things in the best way possible; one day at a time, although I'm running out of days. Speaking of, my second last semester in college is nearing an end - which seems absolutely insane. It feels as if I'm still in my first year, getting lost on the way to Marlborough st.
The increasingly difficult modules in our final year are what really make the transition from education to industry a reality. It's terrifying but exciting at the same time. We're not just undergrads who can't be trust in a lab alone anymore - we're actually individuals that can effectively contribute to society. Reaching the end of 2017 and the end of this module all seems so final. For some reason I'm starting to be nostalgiac about things I don't even really miss just yet. I'm reaching the end of an era and starting a new one, it's so daunting yet invigorating at the same time.
Thank you for listening to me, have a lovely Christmas and an even better New Year!
