Just done my final project with regret

Hi there! Loooong time no see, it's anaii:)

I usually write note in Japanese and partly in English, but I'll share my current life and feeling in English with you guys today, just because I'm feeling doing that hehe

Oh can you guess how was the cover photo taken? huhu A friend of mine took this photo of my sleeping during studying. She did so outside the room coz this room had a transparent wall.

How am I feeling?

Finally! I've just submitted my Master's dissertation three hours ago. 

Am I feeling happy…? Am I feeling free…? 

Noooo…

Now I have a lot of regret coz I should have discussed my topic more, by writing another 3000 words if I have more time to do it, but obviously I didn't. 

Share my academic field

Sharing about my course a little, I'm a student in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) in Wales.

I started my dissertation project in spring this year after finishing my taught modules. The term we were given for it is only three or four months. And my supervisor was swapped for her reason.

My dissertation topic is second language acquisition (referring to foreign language learning), specifically language aptitude (meaning the ability related to how people easily learn languages).

How did my dissertation go?

First thought soon after I submitted my paper is
"I wish I had one more week to work on it."

I assumed it was impossible to finish the dissertation within a few months when I applied to the course (then, why did I decide to enroll it?)
However, I didn't think that at the time I started the dissertation because students gradually learn how to write essays through entire modules and coursework (assignments) so far. 

So, we're assigned a moderate duration for our final project,

but I realised that now

I had no idea what to do and what to write at some points,
I get stuck at the task until I finish it and can't move on to next tasks,

I wasted a lot of my time because of it.
These are lessons for my weak points. 

Always recognise after completion

I have a lot of things I've recognised about myself at the same time.

What kind of person I am
What I am missing
To what extent I academically make a progress

I'll tell you that 
you can only find these things after you complete it.
I could have done much better if I had another chance.
However, I have no same chance any more.
I'm honestly scared to receive the feedback and mark in a few months…

Shift to exciting plans

Alright, it's time to chill out now<3

What I'm planning to do is
- Update note about my postgraduate life in Wales
- Read a research paper I've been interested in, which is foreign language learning for British people
- Make a To Do list of my travelling in Europe
- Learn about coffee on Starbucks website
- Earn international currency with online job (maybe after some fun events)

Surely the list will be frequently updated! 

I'll almost close it today now, and sleep well tonight.
I didn't eat and sleep properly in a recent few days;(

Admire myself 

I still remember that one of my friends texted me, 
You'll nail it PERFECTLLY! 
when we all left our university accommodation recently though we haven't finished our dissertation yet. 

Da iawn to myself studying diligently a whole year!
