Thursday check-in

[forthwritten]

So how's everyone doing?

I had an induction day in my new department despite being a third year and it was somewhat annoying - wish I'd known about the Arts Graduate Centre when I started, but I've now got a job through someone there, I managed to track down my supervisor, had my Annual Review which was surprisingly positive, had training for another job I'm starting and am now doing a week's full-time work back at my old department. In my free time (hah) I'm organising stuff for the LGBT network. Apparently there's this thesis I'm supposed to be working on too...

I can't be the only one doing a juggling act like this. I've come to rely on my filofax - what do you do to ensure you're at the right place at th right time on the right day?

I am flailing! Survived week one, which is something, but I am trying to shake the feeling of being very young and rather stupid, and also trying to learn my way around the politics department, which is a very confusing building. Oh, and psyching myself up to Read All The Things, I should probably get on that.

And my diary is pretty much my best friend right now - job interviews, engineer visits, and even a social life, I'd have no idea what I was doing otherwise.

Yay! You survived Week One! That's a good thing to have done.
