Right, so the first week of university is complete, but how do I feel it went?
My main worries about starting university were not being able to keep up with the workload, and I think that the workload for the first week was a bit more than I expected before starting the degree. The first week we had a few less classes than we will have next week, as we didn’t have ‘Constitutional Law’ yet this week. Although the contact hours are quite a lot less then high school, there is a lot more mandatory reading and assignments which have to be done after our lecture on the subject, in preparation for our working groups which are normally a day or two later.
I also met some really nice people from all different countries and backgrounds, which was quite an experience. I did worry before my course started about not getting along with people, or struggling to fit in, however this hasn’t been a problem as I am yet to find a person in the university who isn’t friendly and helpful.
I did worry about having free time to continue with my hobbies, however I think that as long as I manage time effectively, I will still be able to do the things that I enjoy. I just have to make the most and not ‘waste’ time, for example, I read what I can whilst waiting for the bus, or on the bus so my travel time is used constructively, giving me extra time when I get back home to update my blog.
In general, I think that my first week has been very successful, with the exception of getting lost once or twice! There were quite a few early starts and that has definitely taken its toll, but I now have the weekend to have a little lie in to recuperate. The worries I had before starting my LLB degree definitely haven’t come to light – well not yet anyway, so I hope that the next few weeks will also go smoothly…
