Since my last Blog post I have been working at home being a ‘Key worker’. It has been very hard to balance both my dissertation, course work and work life during this period but I am sure it has for everyone else. Yesterday I started the final report assignment and have got around 400 words completed so far. I hope to have the assignment done by the end of the weekend so I can focus on my dissertation. In terms of my dissertation I thankfully have an extension and have had a recent meeting with my supervisor over Skype. Everything seemed to be going alright and my supervisor seemed happy with my progress and the lines I’m going along.
The on going situation has changed my life quite significantly being a very active person it has been very challenging getting a limited amount of fitness and of course football. It seems to be a very sore way to finish what has been a fantastic 4 years at the univeristy and bow out not really getting a proper goodbye and a postponed graduation.
Looking at my Placement with the campus 5k and Dumyat hill race being cancelled it has saw my work placement came to a full stop which was a shame considering i had put a lot of time and effort into it. I had been enjoying it very much and felt it had been a very good experience for myself in a completely new field.
My plan for the rest of the semester is to get my last assignment done and as I’ve already mentioned my dissertation by the end of the month. Luckily i have no exams i need to revise for, so when my dissertation is submitted I will have a bit of time to relax and hopefully by that point this chaos is over. Hope everyone reading this is well and stay safe!
