Pursuing My Masters and Loving Every Minute

While it appeared that I halfheartedly started my masters a little less than a week ago, today, I could say my attitude has totally changed.  Getting back into the academe and experiencing once more how it is to subject myself to the will of a professor is actually far from the scenario I conjured in my head.  I thought it would all be boring --- with the mentors practicing what traditionally were used in teaching.  Well, there's one or two who, without saying out loud, are resisting change, but I love the challenge as well.  I intend to integrate technology into my presentations and reports --both written and oral--- to the ire of whoever will be concerned.  It's not for sheer stubbornness, but for proving that traditional methods coupled with modern technology can concretize an otherwise abstract idea.

I am up to the neck with work --- and classes that run from Monday till Sunday.  Yeah, you heard me right --- Monday till Sunday.  On weekdays, I have a 5-8 PM schedule.  On Saturdays, I have class from 7 AM till 8 PM (I am not kidding).  And on Sundays, it's a 9-12 date. Pretty hectic, yes, but it helped me recover from Facebook  and Farmville addiction.  The crops have all withered, but to harvest them at this time when I get to sleep at 2 AM due to extensive research, reading, outlining and all those things is simply crazy.  They could damn well wait till I finish this term and move on to the next term. If, by then, they'd refuse to have me back, well... maybe I'd say good riddance, hehehe!

I never knew I'd enjoy it, but I do, honestly.

Well, as I am too tired thinking of what to write, I might just as well post "evidences" of this much loved ordeal.

imagine us sitting on the concrete floor to create our power point presentation

no, I am not crying!  just a silly moment before my presentation started

now, let the show begin
just a close-up shot of that bare foot.  the floor was too slippery I was afraid I'd fall and break my bones.
what's that all about?


There's too much to write about but the I am too preoccupied to write it.  So from time to time, I'd be uploading pictures instead.

  1. Congratulations, it looks like a very laid back, fun class. If only masters classes were like that in the US!
