i'm here and still breathing... :p
i know it's been ages since i last posted anything (5 months) i've been ignoring this blog for a while now and it is because of a number of things....one of them is that i started my masters studies and i barely had time for myself, let alone the blog :p another reason is that i haven't been inspired to write anything really :p
the first semester ended and i'm not very happy with it...it has been a great experience don't get me wrong, but i sort of rediscovered my self....one of the reasons that i entered this program is because i love my major, i'm passionate about it, and because i couldn't live with the idea of stopping here and stick with a job and wait for something to happen..i would kill myself...the idea that waking up going to work and coming back home is the thing that i'll be doing for the rest of my life is scary...it freaks me out not having something to look forward to and work hard to achieve...
but so far i've been shocked...first because it is harder than i expected...i know it was hard, but being in it made me realize how hard it is....secondly, i have this strong ugly feeling that i can't do it..that i've been fooling myself all along thinking that i am good enough or smart enough for it...it is not about the grades as much as the comments i got and the things i noticed about my work....it made me revaluate myself...it made me ask myself more than once what am i doing here? how on earth did they accept me in the program if this was my level? at first i thought it was the program itself ir the way they handle it....but now i'm really thinking it is me...it's frustrating and annoying in more than one way...
what is more annoying is the feedback i'm getting from my family...they have this really bad habit of making it other people's falt...i mean they see me work hard and study all the time and then they hear me complain about the grades and courses so they think it is the teachers or the material...i tried telling them more than once that it is hard and not easy...and i am facing problems and difficulties with it....they tell me that i am smart and can do it easily.. I DON'T WANT THEM TO SAY THAT....this makes me feel worse...if i am as smart as they believe why on earth am i finding it hard? they don't understand how their comments make me feel... *sigh*
besides all that, every time i complain about how i don't have enough time to study and read they ask me to quit my job....and i don't want that....they tell me to transfer to a government job and i don't want that either....i am a workaholic and the thought of me sitting on a desk doing minimum mount of work or none....drives me crazy...i have a lot of work and tasks at my current job, even when i get a day with nothing to do i would go and ask for something to do...i can't sit doing nothing...plus i like my job...i like my colleagues, i like my managers...
i know that they want me to quit to focus on my studies, but what will i do during summer break? or mid semester break? :s i don't know....i don't think i'm ready to quit my job yet...maybe when i start working on my thesis...i don't know....i don't want to think about it...
for the first time in my life i'm not looking forward for a semester to start...i am not very excited about ordering the books...and trust me, books excite me BIG TIME...
i don't like how this masters program made me feel about myself....i don't like who i've became after i joined the program...
BUT i'm not quitting...don't ever think about that...if i am one thing i am not a quitter...if i'm not good enough they will kick me out :p now, what happens to me if that happens? let's leave it for when it happens ;)
blekh...these thoughts annoy me and frustrate me...it is all i think of now....i'm not even enjoying my holiday because all i can think of is how to survive the coming semester :/
i wish i can wipe these thought and make them go away...
