Well hello there, fancy seeing you again! I was not only out
of the blogging world but also the real world, as I was so sick my face told
unspoken words to people. Meaning, I had the kind of sickness that makes people
put ‘that’ face, like you were a lost puppy that was somehow attending to a
Regulation and Supervision of Markets lecture. Anyway, 4 days in bed a bit of
cough on a side will not stop me from this Master.
I have been experiencing a bit of anxiety as I submitted my
draft for my last paper last Friday, as emptiness is somehow very present in
our lives. In other words, we are running out of excuses for starting to write
the thesis. Ideally, we should be writing something this week or the next, just
a few lines, to get that feeling that we are moving forward. Planning is very
important, it is just like a gym routine, we will not get results unless we
actually start doing it. Truth is, writing is not such a big burden, as we have
been writing 10 pages for essays, and if we divide it and write 3 pages per ‘writing
day’ then it’s around 12 days (ROUGHLY ).
Many have started to think what to do after we finish, whether
it’s looking for work or internship here in the Netherlands or in your home
countries, I’m very confident despite all the stress and thinking, you will all
find your way, everything will be FINE! So as I have told you many times
before, enjoy this months, enjoy this people that you see, because even though
we have made friends, not all are going to live here after we finish.
What I like the most about the Master is the information
available for us. What I mean is, there a lot of visits, and guest speakers
from different organisations, such as the ACM, AFM, or from the private sector.
For a person that had no information regarding the functioning of the EU, this
has been very enlightening. These shows me how this institutions work, and it
can give you an idea on where you would like to work, given that I am not a fan
of law firms, it certainly posted an alternative.
