Honours So Far…
After just one week of being an Honours student, life seems to have become a whole lot harder. We’re already being fed words like thesis and research and long hours, knowing that the year ahead is going to involve more reading and writing than we probably did in our entire undergrad degree.
I’m not sure why I am suddenly so worried about the amount of work we will be doing; I had actually known that’s what Honours involves, it has just become such as reality in such a short space. I knew this would be hard work, but I also know that at the end of week 14 in second semester, I will be able to hand in an actual academic paper that may just be worthy of publication. This to me makes this year worth all the hard work.
I believe that everything in life comes down to two things, organisational skills and time management skills. These are two things no one could argue I’m not good at, which is why I am confident that I can achieve all my goals this year and come out knowing I have achieved something immensely worthwhile.
I love the fact that we have a studio to ourselves, even if there aren’t enough computers for even half the class, it makes me relax to know we have access to extra computers and a space to think and breathe.
So yes, Honours is what I expected it to be, but it doesn’t mean I’m not scared about it.
