So how has been first few days at UCL been, I hear you wonder? Well...with a course of around 31 people, it has been
interesting few days meeting so many people from different library backgrounds.
Although, there is a vast majority of soon-to-qualified librarians interested
in academic libraries, others have mentioned interest in school, special collections, law, medical
and music libraries too. As someone who has an interest in East Asian
special collections possibility within academic libraries, it was comforting to
know that a lot of my course mates were multiple language speakers. In which
has been said to be helpful with their careers.
After last week's pretty long induction week, I was
seriously ready to get my hands on some materials. I am not sure if I am
regretting my eagerness just yet, as the preparatory reading and
homework has began on mass during this first teaching week. However, I
think it has only just really hit me that I am actually a student again.
Compared to my undergrad days where having a social life was possible, I
differently feel more mature and prepared this time around. There will be no
partying for me! "Well...maybe one... a month", I think slyly while
looking to the side. After all, I am sure you will agree, being able to know
when you need a break is also important for a
being student.
