Well,
I am 2 days into my MA and regretting the decision to pay £5000.
Now don't get me wrong, I enjoy the course. Sociolinguistics is really interesting and I loved learning about the evolution of words over the last 1200 years and the teaching theory I'm learning is going to give me a heads up when I apply for my teacher training. However, there has to be a nicer form of bedtime reading for tomorrow's class and I'd like more than 1 week a term where I don't have a deadline after week 6.
A wise man once said that if something was easy, everyone would have it. Apparently, only 5-7% of people in the UK have a masters degree which shows that regardless of what people say, they are not easy.
It is that reason why I came home and started to research my essay that's due in December and is worth 60% of the module. It's also why I'm reading two chapters ready for 9:30 tomorrow so that I give myself as much of a head's start as possible.
In terms of my officer role, I had a meeting with the CEO of the DSU on Monday, who is lovely. I'm also working with some of the full-time officers and the voice team to help get course reps to get their lectures to set up more #DMUGlobal opportunities for postgraduate students. In the meantime, I'm talking to DMU Global about setting up a workshop for student groups who want to run their own DMU Global trip but have 0 clues on what to do. It's a big project but if I send 1 more postgrad away on Global then I will be a very happy officer (any more than 1 and I'll do my happy dance).
I also wish to let you guys know that SULETS can offer september to September contracts baring it is ok with the appropriate landlord. Which means I've now completed one of my 2 bronzes and my silver and we've only just started October. It's a good job I've got some new stuff to sort out.
Until then,
Toodle pips,
