Hello again everyone, I hope you
are well. I have finally finished all my assignments for my undergraduate
degree! All my deadlines have now passed, and all my work has been submitted,
including my dissertation, and let me tell you what a relief that was uploading
it to TurnItIn. After submitting that, I felt as though a huge weight had been
lifted off my shoulder. Hopefully all the hard work I put in will pay off.
Although it was a stressful time, I found the whole experience very
interesting, and I learnt a great deal about motivation, the subject of my
dissertation. I found that praise had an effect on how people are motivated, as
well as reward (money, or benefits).
All that being said, it’s not
over yet sadly. I still have three exams left which I am not looking forward
to. I am not very good at exams, and they always make me super stressed.
Revision over the upcoming weeks is going to fun… but after those three exams
are over, I will be finished, and will have graduation to look forward to. I
most likely will also not have much of a social life until my exams have
finished, but it’s not that long to go now.
I will however have one thing to
look forward to in the next few weeks. Next week a friend of mine is coming
back to the UK after spending 9 months in the Caribbean on a sandwich year work
placement, so my friends and I are throwing him a welcome back party. It will
be nice to see him again after all this time, and hopefully it should be a good
day. I often wonder what it must be like to live somewhere completely different
for a long period of time, and it is something I would like to do some day once
I have completed my education, although I plan on continuing my education for
as long as possible, I believe lifelong learning is essential.
Well that’s it for me this time,
I hope you are all working hard and are up to date with all your work, until
next time everyone!
