Mentoring & Personal Tutoring

Unfortunately there is not a lot for me to write about this matter. I planned on speaking with my Personal Tutor not only about life at University, but also for advice on Mentoring (i.e who I should pick etc). I originally asked my tutor for an appointment somewhere in October and was told that he would e-mail me with an appointment over the next couple of weeks, however I never received any such e-mail.

As for Mentoring, there was no-one I really considered a suitable mentor for me. I understood that there are third year students who volunteer for the task, however to be perfectly honest I am quite shy, and would not want to burden a student who most likely already has their hands full with third year work. My family all have their own problems, and they aren't in any career fields that relate the work I do at university.

Having said that, I would still like to list my Girlfriend as my Mentor. She has been an incredible help and supported me throughout my first semester. I found myself showing her my work (sometimes she would ask to read through it without me asking) on several occasions, and asking for her opinion, in which she was always completly honest and helped me change a few aspects of my work.
