The last one…
Well, there it is. The last blog post I will make in a long time probably, since I have finally graduated :-)))
It has been more than a week since I did my thesis-presentation. However, I am still not officially an Applied Mathematician, since I was too late with sending the request for my diploma.. yeah.. that could have been avoided.. Ah well, I will just get that piece of paper a month later.
But what’s next?! I have no clue! I got (almost) all the time in the world to figure that out. But I have to say, today is the first day that I really have nothing to do. The last week was filled with assisting second (or third) year students with a Matlab course, attending cycling competitions, training, meeting a company and talking to some friends 🙂 (and of course the mandatory eat, sleep, rave, repeat).
During the beginning of my thesis I was kind of afraid of this period, I thought that I would fall into some sort of black hole (I don’t know if the literal translation of this expression also holds in English..). But this ‘black hole’ is way less scary than I thought it would be, since I kinda like it! I can finally decide for most parts of the day what I really want to do, but I do try to avoid playing video-games all day, because they can really distract you of all your ‘hopes and ambitions’.
Sooo, what else to say? Well, for all of you that are working on your thesis, good luck! And be prepared to get the question “What are you going to do after this?” a lot. Also, when you are also studying mathematics, this question is accompanied with “What can you do with mathematics?”. But this should come as no surprise, since this is a general question that you often get when you say that you study mathematics.
There is not much left to say.. but maybe some piece of advice for all of you that don’t know what you want to do after your study: I don’t know it either.
You have to figure it out on your own 😉
