I’ll be returning to Brighton in less than a month. I have six more workshops and then I’ll have a PGDip. I’m a little gutted that I won’t be leaving with a MA but I don’t have the energy to think about further academia.

Saying that, I went to an open evening at my new workplace and a colleague mentioned PhD by Portfolio so… you never know…

In my third week at the Graduate College I was asked what my future plans are. I was at a loss for words. I am so used to having goals but I have none. My supervisor has liked my work so my contract has been extended for a quarter. It felt good, especially as I was worried at my data processing speed.

I’ve been shortlisted for a couple more jobs. One I had to decline as it clashed with my university and college courses (why am I doing three at once!?) But the other is a funded by Office for Students.
