It was fun to catch up and hear all about her exciting new life and how quickly she’s transitioned from a graduate to a professional business woman. It was interesting to hear about the diversity of the people she works with too; for example, while the job she has is related to her Accounting and Finance degree, she told me that actually a number of her colleagues come from very varied degree programs including Biology and Chemistry degrees. I found that very interesting, and it’s nice to know that it can still be worth applying for jobs even in fields unrelated to your chosen degree as long as you are interested in the subject area and have good work ethics and interview skills!
Shopping
in London.
While in London we also had time to do some
shopping and take a couple of dance classes at the Pineapple dance studios
which was super fun! Speaking of dance, over the past week I’ve also had some
time to use the Multi-Purpose Studio on campus (where all the dance classes and
dance practises were held last year) to practise some of the choreography I
came up with over the summer while at home in Sweden. I’ve also seen that the
Activities Room in SUSU has recently been renovated and it looks great. This is
really exciting and provides an extra dance space for all of the enthusiastic
dancers on campus (as well as a great room for other societies who use the room
for meetings and practise sessions). I’m excited to test it out and see how the
floor feels when it opens for use and hopefully I’ll remember to take a photo
of our studios to show you all too.
I’ve also been preparing for Freshers’ Week 2014
and the upcoming Bunfight, where all the societies have a chance to advertise themselves
to the new and current students. I’ll be meeting with my committee for the
Green Action Society this week and we’ll be finalising our plans for the day.
We’re excited to welcome some new members, so don’t hesitate to come and find
us on the day if you’re there! At the Bunfight you get to hear about taster
sessions, which most of the societies offer, and these are great to go to even
if you’re not entirely sure you want to join that society. They are usually
completely free and it gives you a chance to try the activity out and see if
it’s something for you. I encourage even the second and third year students to
go and try something new!
Myself
and two of my housemates during a Wakeboarding social last year. I never ended
up having time to join wakeboarding last year but my housemates and I still
went to the taster sessions which are free. And now, in my third year, I still plan
on going to even more tasters. You never know what you might end up liking!
One
of my friends and I from halls, who I also live with now, during Freshers’ Week
in our first year. It’s crazy think that this was taken two years ago!
I can’t believe I’m already a third year student.
It really doesn’t feel like it was two years ago that I started. Recently I’ve
been focusing a lot on my third year project and having meeting with
supervisors, safety and lab inductions and microscopy training. It’s all really
exciting, but it’s really hard to comprehend how fast time flies by. Anyway,
I’m excited for Freshers’ Week and hopefully I’ll even get to meet some readers
of the blog, so don’t be shy and come and say hi!
