Mature Students Diary

October 10, 2021 By Aoife Burke

Hi there everybody! Well, we are nearly into October, and I have to say the time is flying. I am learning loads on my internship at Flirt FM. I am just waiting for the weather to turn groggy and then what will we do? I had an excellent summer, I worked hard but then I rewarded myself with a couple of shopping sprees. I still don’t have my driving license, but I didn’t have time for lessons. I definitely feel a sense of nostalgia for I made some great connections in the first year and then they moved on or graduated. However, I am excited about meeting new friends in next year’s final year of English. I am doing a lot of story searching during my internship, looking up stories and chasing leads. Of course, they would need to be relevant to students! I do have a weekend job, as I mentioned before, which I love, as a care assistant. I love looking after my clients. I have a lot on my plate at the moment and sometimes I need to pause and take a deep breath. However, I am doing what I love to do, and I am incredibly grateful. When I want to unwind, I put on some music and do some online shopping!

Until next time guys – Aoife
