academic crisis. Thursday, September 06, 2007 Pluggin' into: Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd I have had an academic crisis. For a while.. I was questioning myself, whether I should continue to be a Sociology major. I guess it's because of the modules I'm currently taking.. out of 3, I only genuinely like 1. The other 2 are probably the ones responsible for the doubts I had. Like.. I felt the material I was studying, seem to be just stretching occurrances and blowing things out of proportion. It seemed so.. fake. I know I chose Sociology, because I could crap it i.e. I could just write my way through. This made me realise that I can only do so, if I don't have issues with whatever I'm writing. It kind of struck a nerve in me. It was only when I had a good talk with Char on the way home [thanks char :) ]. She suggested that it was perhaps certain aspects of sociology I was not keen of, not the whole study itself. Those 2 modules I'm not extremely fond of, are more of anthropology - SC2220: Gender Studies and SC2213: Childhood & Youth. [Definition of Anthropology: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/anthropology. No worries.. takes me a while to get the meaning too, heh heh :P] On the other hand, the one I'm like is SC3101: Social Thought and Theory. Perhaps I am more of a social theorist. I do like taking society as a whole.. It was quite daunting, having that thought. I'm already Year 2. Suddenly, I understood what a few friends of mine have been going through and omg, it's freaking scary. Another thing I was thinking about, was how I realise that I have no other alternative. Like.. out of all the majors offered at FASS, there was no other major that I had interest in. I couldn't help but think of that movie "Accepted".. and the message it conveyed: "Isn't university where you explore and do what you wanna do?" Then again.. I guess I don't really know what I wanna do, so.. *shrugs* The sky is endless.. yet, its very vastness, isolates. | |
