Hello there everyone, I hope you
are well and settling into the new term. As you may remember from my last blog
entry, I was complaining about not having received any grades back for this
year so wasn’t sure if I was on track or not, but since that post, I have
received two grades back, finally! And I am pleased to say they are both rather
good, 70% and 72% respectively. If I can keep receiving grades like that, then
I shall be very happy indeed! The grades that I have been waiting on, however,
have still not been put up, which is slightly frustrating, but at least I have
some kind of feedback.
An opportunity has also come up
for me to complete a master’s degree that comes with quite a good discount. I
have been thinking about doing a master’s degree for a while now and in a
previous blog (last year I think) I mentioned about studying one in Sweden as
it was free, but I would still have needed money for living costs. I will still
need to save up some money in order to pay my tuition fees, but I don’t think
I’ll get another opportunity to do this again at such low a cost. Although I
would still like to travel, I am not sure if I can afford to be able to travel
and save up for a master’s degree at the same, so my travel resolutions for
2014 may have to be postponed until the future. I mean I may not even get an
offer, so I do not know what the future holds.
Whilst still on the subject of
feedback, I have my dissertation feedback session today, which I will discuss
with my tutor the next steps for my dissertation, scary stuff! It should be
interesting nonetheless obtaining my own research and writing about it. I’ve
never written anything near 10,000 words before, so it should be interesting to
see how it goes.
Until next time, and make sure
you wrap up warm when outside, and good luck with any work that you may have to
complete!
