Hi guys!! I’m no longer a first year, now I am going into me
second year and lots of things have changed since last year. I’ve changed part
time jobs I worked at River Island for a year having that extra money helped a lot
and made first year a lot more social and exciting! I now work for the Enquiry
Unit for the university which is a big difference from doing laps around the
shop floor to sitting down for most of my shift.
The second year is very different to first year, I spent
most of my first year sitting in lecture’s playing candy crush checking
Facebook, eating and having a quick nap and didn’t really fall behind because
the content was a lot easier for me to get my head round it but now if I bend
down to get a drink out of my bag I have no idea what’s going on or even when
I’m trying to listen and paying my full attention I still end up getting lost.
I have come up with a solution which I didn’t really do for my first year is to
go over the lecture before you come in! It helps a lot so you know what you
don’t understand and can ask questions.
The one thing I was very excited about starting 2nd
year was the new Stockwell Street library J
It is open for use and it’s amazing! It’s a real home away from home. They even
have a Starbucks - this doesn’t really excite me because I hate tea and coffee
but I like the flapjacks they do.
These first few weeks were pretty much getting used to
lectures and tutorials and just getting back into the routine after having 4-ish
months off now it’s time to get stuck in!! Until next time peeps J J
