End of Semester thoughts

It’s strange to think that I started this blog in August before I had started my masters degree. I had some idea of what I wanted my focus to be and the knowledge of what I wanted to do after but it all seemed so far away. Now, just before the start of February I’ve finished my first semester of university, all of my assignments are submitted and I’m free to relax until it all starts up again at the end of the month with Semester 2.

I wouldn’t have managed to get through this first half of my masters (well, first third if you’re counting the dissertation writing period) without using my Bullet Journal, and forcing myself to be strict with writing at first. Without being a bit strict and making myself write a little bit every day, or at least do a plan, I would have never started just writing and formulating ideas that I could turn into a proper essay. I put some of my creative projects to the side when the workload started getting heavier and now I have the time to enjoy them again (like a reward for doing all this work now).

The little things are making me smile a lot right now. Like the knowledge that I have my essays done early enough to edit viciously if I have to. One is due in a week, but the rest are at least two weeks out and have been finished since the start of this month. I’ve got time and freedom and I’m not stressed about any of these since they’re written and ready to hand in. I just need to click a button now.
