JOTTERING JOSEPH #2
Today is (virtually) my last day of work for the year.
It's been a pretty big year for me personally. This time last year, I'd just got results back for my Honours thesis. I'd just been employed for 2017, and was about to go overseas for a month. Since then, I've done a lot of stuff I probably didn't think I would have by this point.
I think one thing that has made itself abundantly clear this year is the importance of people. Specifically, those with whom you work on a day-to-day basis. Colleagues would make such a huge difference in practically every domain, and I'm very, very lucky to be surrounded by a freakin' amazing group of people.
Days like today are weird, too. Oddly nostalgic. ATAR day always makes me think back to when I received my own results, and what's changed since then. It's funny looking back at the whole process - in hindsight (and probably also at the time), it all seems so unnecessarily stressful!
