A few months from now, I’ll be 26, a quarter of a century old. I don’t really care about the number that much or the wrinkles and age spots that come with the stupid biological time bomb. Come to think of it, I don’t really care about anything except for one thing probably – wasted time. Yes, I think I have wasted a whole 26 years of my existence doing nothing but sleepwalking through life.
But things weren’t like this a few years ago. I used to have a goal – to finish my graduate studies and live as an academic for the rest of my life. Somehow, I lost my mojo to continue it and well, there is also the need to work for money so I decided that my master’s degree should take a back seat. During my hiatus from graduate studies, I wondered aimlessly through the corporate clouds but the desire to go back to school has always been there.
Right now, I’m still in that same limbo state. Grey area is what they call it. I guess that only chance I have to go back to school again is if I could enroll in some elearning program related to my discipline. I’m planning to contact my University and inquire about their online courses since it would mean more work and requirement processing if I transfer to a different institution. I just hope I can make it before the registration period ends. So yeah. Technically, my future lies in my University’s elearning program. If they won’t accept me, I would not know how else I could finish my program.
If only I have the luxury of time and money, I would not have to settle for something with less interaction. I would want to relive the daily drives going to school, sitting inside the classroom, physically being present in a real moment with people in my class and not just a computer equipped with a face-to-face interaction elearning system.
