And so it begins again. It is now the final semester of my Masters *sobs*. Although, unlike everyone else, we will be working through the summer as the dissertation is not due until August. It is the last semester of attending regular lectures though. So where am I up to? I have completed 80 hours […]
Do you remember when I was getting ready to start Uni? How nervous I was? That seems kind of crazy looking back. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not been plain sailing. It’s been a very steep learning curve with moments where I felt like I was never going to get it. And now the first […]
Before you worry, it’s ok, I didn’t fail my first assignment. But I didn’t do very well in it either. Let’s have a bit of context here. This was a paper that required me to pick a topic, do research, gather alternate views and write a discussion/analysis using references to explain my position. I have […]
I love to learn. I love to see things from a different perspective. At the moment, I’m learning to see things from a different perspective. I am like a pig in muck, I’m so happy. I have now completed 2 assignments. No idea how I’ve done yet but I’ve done my best and I’m here […]

Wow, didn’t expect the first few weeks of Uni to be such an emotional rollercoaster! Anyway, we are officially off Red Alert. The rollercoaster has returned to the holding area. I don’t have a supervisor and the deadline has passed BUT I have had a meeting with someone about my dissertation. Yay! That’s all I […]
Practicum? Probably. Meeting on Thursday to discuss. Watch this space! Dissertation? Rejections from 3 supervisors so far. Waiting on response from 2 others. Trying not to panic So here we are – the first ‘proper’ week of being a Masters student. It was a bit of a chaotic start. I knew I would be in […]
OVERWHELMED There are no other words for it. Yesterday was a full day induction for my MSc in Psychological Research Methods. The schedule was from 9am until 5pm with a full day of activities. I had also, stupidly, organised to see a new client at 7pm. It was a long day. So the good news […]
