Academia

My course has basically been self- study.

I feel like I was put in a place with a million books, and thousands of fascinating people, handed a set of assignments, and left to get on with it.

I would have maybe liked more support, guidance, been taught how to write a great social science essay before getting my grades back- but in the end, how do you learn and grow, really?

If the point of a University is to provide an education- then this year has given me access to all the sources of learning I could have wanted.And I'd like to think I've made the most of it.

I've learnt so much through conversation- both about my subject and myself, my way of thinking.

Just as I'm getting my bearings, and getting on my feet, it's time to leave- but isn't that a sign I should be moving on anyway? Can't afford to get complacent.
