I found this topic difficult to tackle, both in terms of finding the right song and connecting with it after all the turmoil I’m currently going through. The coordinator has already told me that I’ve failed and am therefore out of this graduate program, but I’m holding onto a glimmer of hope. She asked us to meet on Monday, and my friend—who’s in the same situation as me—will be there too.
Hello everyone in the HIVE OPEN MIC community! It’s
here, and this time I’m participating in Week 321, titled “The One.” I didn’t want to leave this post until the last minute; I always try my hardest to post on time each week, but this time I slipped up and didn’t want to let you down. I hope to stay on schedule from now on—I really do. Graduate school exams are still in full swing—this is really driving me crazy—and I’m still a bit lazy when it comes to my thesis. I’m reminded that I was given the opportunity to continue this graduate program in Marine Biology, so I need to keep pushing myself. After all, I want to earn this master’s degree, and maybe now I’ll finally fall in love with the marine field. I think the song I chose ended up leaning toward the romantic side. To be honest, I never really made an effort to learn it, but it wasn’t until now, when I read the lyrics, that I realized they weren’t that hard to learn—it’s as if they’d always been in my head. The song is one of the most beautiful by the Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi, and it’s titled “Imagine me without you.” I didn’t want to keep thinking about whether another song might come to mind; I’m happy with how my choice turned out for this week. I definitely needed to do this—maybe biology is meant for me, so it seemed like the right thing to do.

The coordinator told me something along the lines of me not having a chance in Marine Biology, but that I might have a chance for another master's program; she ended by saying we should meet on Monday. I was talking to my friend who’s in the same situation as me with this master’s program, and I feel like the coordinator wants to push us toward Aquatic Biology, which is practically the same as the one I took, but with tons of biostatistics courses that are another nightmare. However, based on what I saw in the curriculum, many of the courses I passed would count toward it, so I’d only have to retake the ones I failed here.
I don't usually identify with romantic relationships, but recently there was a day in Paraguay—if I'm not mistaken, it was Biologist Day—and I can relate to that much more. I suppose that’s my romantic relationship—even if it’s not always pure love with biology, I think it’s the best college major I could have chosen. Now, though, I don’t quite feel like these master’s programs or this field of work are really mine; no matter what the coordinator says, I have to block out that idea and just feel that this is, without a doubt, my calling.
I try to let all the things in my life flow, I might try to force everything a little bit, like with the Marine Biology postgraduate course or trying to be constant in Hive, but whatever ends up turning out, I know I will know how to accept it. Grateful for all the good things that have happened to me and the bad things that I have gotten rid of, for your support, I hope you also visit my other posts, good luck with your content and see you next week.
