Here comes second year!
On the 31st, I submitted my final essay/EMA for DE100 which means year one is officially over! For my second year, I was signed up to do DD210, a social psychology module, except I didn't realise it was a social psychology module until I received the books and they really did not appeal to me whatsoever. I had to go through the process of changing my modules to D240 and SDK228, both 30 credit modules, a matter of weeks before the deadline! Thankfully, I have been signed up onto those modules and I have received my SDK228 module books which look so much more interesting to me, except they look super hard. Almost every page of the second book is full of scientific terminology, medical and mental health conditions. It has a lot on the brain which is good, but again, it's going to be a challenge that I'll have to take head on. I have read the first chapter already and made some notes to make a head start, as I am going on holiday days after second year starts, so I want to be ahead so I can relax and enjoy myself on holiday. I am starting to feel intimidated and apprehensive because this is where my grades matter, but the work load has increased, the things we're studying is even harder and we will have to find our own sources of information to support our assignments which adds more time needed to do assignments, as well as drawing on our critical thinking skills. Plus, I was expecting to do one 60 credit module this year, but now I am doing two modules next to each other (and SDK228 is said to feel more like a 60 credit module because it's big), so I have to work on two assignments simultaneously again. I am sure everything will be okay, but I am still feeling a bit stressed. I haven't had a break either as my second module started in February, so I have literally just submitted my final year 1 essay and I'm moving straight onto next year!
