HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUDDY!
I just came back from my lecture (Methods of Social Research). Okay I know it sounds boring but it's the core for Sociology major, but after doing this, I think I'll just stick to doing my History single major.. All those qualitative and quantitative research makes no sense to me! It's already mid-term and I have no idea of what is going on in class! First assignment due on the 9th!
After last week's bazaar, this week is the bash! Two weeks of non-stop activities! Just hope everything goes well.. then I'll be partying hard at ZOUK tonight!
Oh I was clearing up my files when I came across this quote:
Sometimes I think I understand everything, and then I regain consciousness.
Which I think is one that I can relate too.. Okay, yet another one. hAhA~
Well, it's all in the mind.. but I start to realise that regardless of whether I'm conscious or not, somethings never change.
Know I just love and hate the fact that my nails grow pretty fast, because I have to trim them once every now and then! Usually I'll just leave it to the manicurist but it's been two weeks since I last went for a session.. don't foresee I'll have the time to do so for the remaining week and the next.. ARGH!
I was just thinking about my plans after my graduation. Though there's a strong inclination towards teaching, at the same time, there's a adventurous side of me who aspire to do things like marketing, PR etc.. Actually I'm pretty interested in photography too. I'm just worried about not being suitable for jobs like that.
Would I be inferior as a teacher? That's a thought that crossed my mind. Personally I feel that it takes a lot to teach. Of course along the way you would have come across those teachers who are simply doing a job and those who teach, guide and nurture. I'm concerned about personal implications about things like would I be too tired to teach my own kid or would I be so into the work that it affects my personal life.
Maybe I'm thinking too much into it. It's just that the few individuals who happened to have a large impact on my life used to teach me at some point of my life.
I think trying to become a teacher and defending my choice would be like defending history. History is definitely NOT just about memorising dates and events. If it's that easy, everyone would be fighting to it up. And I think it takes lot to see the magic of it and history is in my blood. I love it, but at the same time, I don't have anything against anyone liking art, physics or maths. We all share one thing: Passion in what we are doing. Fair enough?
Enough thoughts to ponder..
Till I get back from ZOUk!
