First of all I'd like to apologise for my silence of late. With my exams and moving I haven't had much time to surf the net, not to mention the fact that I have a tendency to switch my brain off as soon as I exit my last exam each semester!
Ideally I would be spending the summer doing some work experience although, as a dual degree student, it seemed that I'm not quite far enough into my degree for most positions. In addition, I'm most likely going overseas in January so returning to my regional home seemed like the best option.
Seeing as getting some work experience isn't a true possibility here, I'd love to be lazing on the beach working my way through Les Miserables and other classics. Turns out I've done that too many holidays in my life so I'm attempting to be productive. You might recall that I was planning on entering a few essay competitions. While I did a little basic research early on, I've still got quite a bit to go. I had thought I'd be working on them as soon as I finished my assessment, but two weeks have passed and I'm just starting today. I made a decision that I didn't want to start working on the essays before results came out, just in case I didn't do as well as I had hoped and had to re-sit an exam. Thankfully I passed everything which is a huge relief!
I'm actually really enjoying the work I've done so far, probably because these essays aren't for assessment and there isn't the stress associated with them. It is either that or a testament to how nerdy I truly am!
Welcome back! :-)
