June 2014 was my final month for my assessments for my Grad Dip of Information Studies. With my placement and study visit reports completed I now wait for the end of the year. At the end of year I can GRADUATE!!!
The past two years working full time whilst studying has been intense. Intense in that I have had to manage my time appropriately so that I had minimal experiences of needing to hyperventilate into a paper bag when assignment deadlines loomed. One of the biggest personal experiences I learnt was to be kinder to myself. To give myself more credit but to also dish out 'tough love'. You know the type of thing I mean. "Study for another hour and then you can watch one episode of Parks and Recreation". Sometimes I even watched two.
Whilst waiting for my graduation I have joined the Australian Library and Information Association. I have been given a membership card which I am proudly carrying around in my purse. I have stopped short of pulling it out and showing it off - well until now ;) I think I need to be proud of it. It has been a big ask these last few years and I have gained new skills and become more excited about where my career could take me.
