Today is the last day of my winter vacation. If I dwell on what new work lies before me, I will become anxious. Bewildered? Yes, but I need to adapt. I also feel unsure over my ability to handle the new work competently. When I - no longer a student - face something that needs doing, I myself must decide how to do it. No longer will others do that for me. I alone must take responsibility for my work, and let others be the judge. I know this and yet, even after a whole year, I still have not grown used to this new way. I’ve always taken responsibility for my own education and I’m quite a good student, but when it comes to work, something feels a wee bit different.
