feeling a little...

the new semster for my deg had started and having failed once i am a scary cat now. i had wasted 2 semsters! 1 for failing, 1 for waiting for the next class. i wish i can pass and i must put in lots of effort into this module. its not a subject that one can pass by merely having a good sense of 'common sense' or the ability to abstrate think but cold hard facts with lots of background reading. gosh...

someone said that people that are taking their degree are nothing but a paper chase but i strongly disagree to that. in fact i am angry at the person who had said that. he said that those in his class (acc. student) were so 'keen' to study that they enrol for deg classes immediately post grad. from their dip class. although its a little extreme, i won't think of them badly. these people had express their keen-ness and committment to be in this line of work that's why they had pressed on to study more. given another person who had just wanted to be a nurse just to 'pass' the crisis their approach would be totally different. also those students are 'late starters' in this career compared to those of the same age but had been in the trade for a longer time, in order to 'chase' back those 'stolen time' one had but no choice to run instead of stroll along in the career planning. afterall nursing is indeed an AGE-ism career. after 40yrs old, no matter how great a nurse one is, he/she will still be slower and less steady that a young (although not so clever/ experience) nurse. but the agrue will then be, they are dumb but they are young so we (the org) can still train them to prefection. while the old had no choice but to step down to other areas. so i don't think the willingly hearts are to be blame for rushing into deg classes. but those who say we are merely 'paper-chasing' ought to think twice what is the reason for him/ her to say that. perhaps they are the one that are afraid of committment, fear of studying and maybe failing? afterall deg is self sponsored and if one fail that goes the money and time. no insurance!

hopefully i will be able to busk under the sun of perth somewhere next year awaiting for my grad. =) wish me luck and help pray for wisdom!
