I graduated from college in 2004. Back then, I still did not know what to do with my life. I finished library and information science but looking at my carrer path, based on my first real job, it seems that I will not be a "librarian" any time soon. For that I simply shrugged off the idea of going into graduate school. Well there was the general thinking that I have to have my graduate degree but back then, I simply did not know which course is best to take. I mean, it is not as simple as wishing to become a doctor simple because you have seen one too many episodes of Doogie Howser, MD when you were in 4th Grade. This is the real thing. I pay for my school and I simply could not afford to slack off. What best way to do it is to get a course that I will enjoy and put my creative juices into something that I am passionate about.
However, it seems that putting graduate school off for five years is a bit of a bad idea. Things would have been easier if I enrolled a year after graduation. In that case, the adjustment will not be as difficult as the one I am going through right now (not to mention distance education can be a a challenge -- more on that next time).
My trusty Packard Bell Notebook, fruit flavored tea, Philips audio component
and course materials. Companions for the next two nights...
Right now, I am pouring my brains out into a coursework that has a paper due on Saturday. The funny thing is that the only thing I know about my professor is his name and an email exchange introducing myself to him. No word since then and he expects me to understand a course module he did not even write. Ayayay!!!! It would have been easier if the course is something that is within my mental or should I say forte but since environment is something that I only do for a living, I will have to deal with it some more in order for me to be more "effective" at work. I complain a lot actually about this course as I felt that this was an impulsive and wreckless decision on my part but I think I have to deal with it since I could not afford to drop the subject and waste some of my hard earned money on this.
Solution: I will have to deal with it for the time being. Well only at least after September. Right now, I will burn the midnight oil and do my best to succeed. I know I can do it and I am just being whiny. Being a student again is something that I have been looking forward too for some time back now and now that its here, might as well make the best of it.
