Hold Tight and Be Happy!
Some part of me is actually relieved that my academic life will be over in 6 weeks. Of course I'll miss wearing sloppy tshirts, rolling out of bed and not combing my hair and slobbering into class with slippers on. But, beginning a new phase of my life is gonna be exciting!
I'll miss talking with the lecturer whose office is opposite the Honours room. Or popping upstairs to chat for a bit with Prof Hill and just waiting for him to laugh because he's like Santa Claus. I'll miss the seminar room and the mass revision sessions everyone tries to organise so that we can all score together.
I think I'll even miss the insane amount of research that goes into writing just ONE GODDAMN BLOODY PAPER WORTH 8 PAGES ONLY...but I'm proud to announce that I am the queen of lit research and reviews. Unfortunately, there is an inverse relationship between doing good research and motivation to write papers. Don't ask why, the universe works in mysterious ways that mere mortals like me will never figure out.
Social capital is important. Social networks is important too. Social support is vital. Social identity is imperative. Ergo, Sociology is just wondersome (wonderful + awesome).
Hopefully people don't go off their separate ways and do their own thing after July. Hopefully there will still be steamboat sessions, impromptu sit-downs outside the National Library to talk about Sociological theories and karaoke sessions where a lot more people can make it.
Job offers are not pouring in. I'm worried but I think it'll be okay too. Resolutions! Be positive!
