Induction week

Back in Aber!!!!

I must say I wasn't too impressed having to come back here... the first couple of days I was even depressed :D but after the first induction meetings were held I realized that Aber might be on the verge of becoming a proper uni :)

I was so against coming back because I heard horror stories how about a hundred students last year got the same supervisor for their dissertations and my overall dislikeness to how we don't really have interesting subjects or even a choice on what to do. Having been to 5 different lectures a day in Corsica, I wasn't keen on going to 5 different lectures period...

My timetable looks a bit more full this year though :) Which is good :) The bad thing this year is that we can't choose language groups!!!!!! Why why why? That means I have huge caps between lectures at some days :S I'll tell you all about it in the next post dedicated to my timetable :D

What else is new and good here? Well we seem to have a compulsory employability program forced upon us. At first I was vary in going to the meetings and problem solving workshop. Bleh me, I like to sit in the corner, do nothing and be invisible and still succeed in life! But I went and even got inspired :) The point of this is to help us all get jobs after uni :) Why fight it? Better to do all the assessment centre activities first in a non-judgmental atmosphere :) And have let some professional have a look through my cv and covering letter and give me tips on it :) And what other activities they come up with.

The week turned out to be even better after the departmental welcoming where they admitted having problems last year and said that this year ALL the academic staff will be supervisors and we get to choose our own, depending on the subject we do it on :) What could be better than that? Plus every time we have a meeting with them they have to fill in a form on how we are doing and what to do next etc.

And looks like the new tourism people are much much much nicer than our old grumpy group who didn't really want anything to do with us foreigners :) Plus there are so much more of them too :)

I am even looking forward to this year :) And now on to writing my PDP - my progression in French about my last year...

Ttyl ;)
Jazzz...
