I am now well into my second week of university life. Clearly it is less of a shock than my first time over 10 years ago across the Atlantic. The City University campus is conveniently located across the street from where I live.
It is great to be actually able to learn stuff from university. It may sound like an obvious function of a university to the rest of you, but for me, having previously only studied management, I never grew familiar with the feeling.
There are advantages to postgraduate studies. The tutors are top-notch, classes are smaller and the students motivated. The big drawback, however, is that there is little typical student fun to be had: no initiations, no crazy parties, no food fights… Never imagined poostgrads would be such a bore.
Meanwhile, some things are still the same. I still made plans to keep ahead with my readings from the start, and I am still not doing it as I should. Oh well, we all know that we are WAY more productive in cramming mode the last two days before exams
Now back debugging my f*&^*ing 12 lines of Java assignement…
That pretty much sums up postgrad lije for me for the last 6 years. Welcome to the club Emir!
