I can’t believe the semester is basically over already! Granted, I still have a month to go in my current internship but this never felt like an actual academic thing to me - more so purely a graduation requirement. With that, Year 3 comes to an end with an absolute stinker in my ST2137 final, which was to be expected but I easily could’ve gotten several more marks had I just used my brain a little bit more.
That being said, just as mentioned in my Y3S2 Midterm Reflections, I really really enjoyed the second half of my experience in LAF1201 and this really made up for all of the tediousness I was experiencing in the other mod. The final few weeks of the semester were quite a rush in terms of submissions for this module, especially with the Voyage Francophone and Oral assessment, but I enjoyed every moment of it. I’m genuinely considering taking the French 2 module in a future sem before I graduate.
For all the good I did with my French, I do kind of regret not investing more time and effort in my Statistics mod even though I definitely have way more time and bandwidth than I would normally have in a normal workload semester. I’ve always struggled with R-based modules academically for whatever reason, and I was really hoping that I would get to break that streak this sem but clearly that’s not the case and that’s okay! This marks the completion of my Statistics Minor as well, which did teach me so many new concepts (especially on the Math side of things), while also expanding on concepts I had already been decently familiar with (there was an entire module on Regression!).
All this to say that: a lot of things are changing and/or ending with the conclusion of this semester, and I’m still coming to terms with it. I can’t fathom the idea of me being in my final year of Uni already in just a few months, yet that is my reality. Thirteen weeks can go by so quickly it’s actually ridiculous, and to think that I’ve gone through 6 of these cycles???? I guess this is why I cherish my evening walks around the campus on a study day, or why I try to be back in school as much as I can even if I don’t necessarily have a whole bunch of classes on a particular day - to force myself to slow down in the midst of this flurry, even just for the duration of a few songs and a hotdog bun snack is such an incredible feeling, and to be in this stage of life in a place I love so much is such a privilege. If an opportunity to pursue further studies under scholarship arises, surely I will take it? idunnoseehow
