The
journey of a thousand miles begins with a step.....
This was the case for me
when I enrolled as a post graduate student in September. This journey was
brisk, bright with a modicum of hope and interesting (particularly during freshers’
week). The amalgamation of expectation and excitement was palpable as we were
ushered into the school of health and related research. Meeting colleagues from
far and wide with varying shades of experience and academic background was a
foretaste of the unrivalled friendship waiting to blossom.
Eight
weeks into the semester and with an exam already behind me, you start to get a feeling of
what postgraduate study really feels
like. The level of in-depth analysis, independent study; group allocations;
seminars, class discussions, a barrage of looming essays and the momentous
dissertation topic; all allude to the difference in expectation and expertise
required at a postgraduate level. There is also a zest to achieve a work- study
balance.
Overall,
this journey so far; has been worth it and hopefully will take me to the
promise land with less than a thousand miles........
