Time just seems to be flying by now. With officially 5ish weeks to go until graduation, everything is getting very real! But in such awesome, awesome ways. Today (well technically yesterday) was my 22nd birthday, so that was an interesting feeling for sure. It’s awesome growing up and everything, but it’s also dawning on me how fast things are going. It’s crazy how much things can change in a year. If this year was any indication of the things to come, this year will be another insane one. But heck, I’d take that any day of the week.
After graduation on May 18th, I’ll pack up and head back home on the 19th. Two days later, I set off for the biggest journey/adventure of my lifetime. I’ll arrive in Germany on the 24th of May, and then my summer internship starts the following week. Fast forward to the beginning of September, and I’ll start graduate school! A few weeks ago, I got one of my dream choices for graduate school–Imperial College London! It’s not completely finalized yet, but it looks pretty certain that I’ll be headed there this September. Specifically, I would be entering the Business School on the MSc Management Programme (yepp–I’ll have get used to all of that British spelling as well, oh dear!), one of the four faculties the school has. When I found out about my acceptance in March, I was shaking and crying. Perhaps one of the best feelings to date. Going into this entire application process, I wasn’t sure how all of these schools abroad would see my application. There were so many uncertainties. But it’s all working out for the best, I can’t believe my luck.
Since then, I have heard back from nearly all of the other schools I applied to, with the exception of two that should be coming back rather soonish. Right after Imperial came through, nearly everyone else came back as well. All together seven offers so far, so not too shabby… 😉
Now the only thing really standing in the way of graduation is completing my lovely thesis. I’m currently up to page 58, so it’ll be interesting to see how much further I get before my defense on April 24.
Here’s to the homestretch, gotta try to make it the best possible! Now back to working on that thesis…
