The Standard Model

Tomorrow I’m moving out of my current student house to go stay with my parents over the summer as I usually do. I have just finished my third year at university, of which I am doing a 4 year course. Most people though do a regular Bsc which is a 3 year course meaning most of the people I know in my year are now finished with school. They have to go out into the real world, they arn’t on a summer vacation anymore they are simply unemployed or working. That is a very bizarre thought for me. I didn’t take a gap year between school and uni, I have gone from year to year as long as I can remember with term-time and school holidays spread throughout the year.
Always knowing that even though this year is over and I have a long break, in a few months I’ll be back learning again. It’s pretty safe. Granted there has been the possibility of failing and having to redo exams or even years but I’ve never really been in that position. So I’ve just got a year delay on this impending doom? Well no, I hope to do a PhD after I finish my degree.. which means another few years studying. So if all goes to plan the earliest I will be thrust out into the real world will be 4 years from now, so I’m not really worried about it at the moment.

I don’t really think this has much of a point to it or anything yet.. So I’ll just say good luck to anyone who is graduating this year and I hope you all manage to get interesting jobs!
