Thinking ALOUD: The Last '2'

This is the last year I will have '2' in front of my age. It's amazing how these nearly 10 years have gone by - so many things have happened.

1. I graduated from poly.
2. I went to uni & graduated.
3. Started working & quit my first job.
4. Went for teacher training & taught for 3+ years.
5. Quit teaching & go back to uni.

Amazing how things go one full circle, eh? I was a student at the beginning of my 20s and I'm STILL a student at the end of my 20s :p

Anyway, classes began a week ago. I feel so cheated of my fees because I only have about 10 hours at most. We were told that most of it is independent learning and we have to be in control of our own learning. That's why it is called a 'Masters' programme - we have to be masters of our learning. That aside, it has been all good. I have learnt interesting things but at the same time felt really stupid. I suppose this is part of the adjustment I have to make in transiting from the teaching (work/practice) mode to the technical/academic mode because all the theories discussed at lectures are so ermmm..theoratical. So I have to think about things from an academic point of view. It is only early days so there's still a lot more to go through.

Other than that, there are plenty of readings. And me, being me, for talking too much at my small group lunchtime tutorial class, I was 'nominated' (read: arrowed) to be class rep because no one volunteered or felt 'moved' to be one.

I will just shut up and let the pictures do the talking.

Rainbow seen from my window - seeing one always makes me happy, although finding that pot of gold will drive me ecstatic!
