we visited education agents today, people who liase with clueless [and lazy] students like me who would like to pay through the nose.... and with a kidney, a cornea, a grandmother... to not study in singapore. as the afternoon wore on and i got crankier because i had given my daily nap a miss but the negativity came to a full hilt when i was told that it wasn't 'advisable' to do a degree in journalism which is what i've been wanting and researching all this while. when the agent, whom i must commend for his eloquence, knowledge and honesty, said it like it was, i almost cried but didn't because my mascara wasn't waterproof. no, really. so now i've decided to do a bachelor's of art in english language studies and another major of which i have yet to decide on. shortlisted ones are : - anthropology - cultural studies - gender studies - philosophy - social theory - media & comms all sound and seem interesting and appealing enough to give me a headache. and then.... i receive news that U of melbourne is a very good school and everything which made me wish my family was loaded enough to 'donate' a new library or new wing to the school. speaking of money, if i was swimming in the yusof ishaks, i would do something in melbourne, jet to parson's or FIT in new york for something fashion-y, then to central st martin's in london again for fashion, then the sorbonne in paris to learn french or at least pretend to while camping out at colette and the a.p.c stores and of course, scarfing lauderee macaroons and pierre herme creations then to antwerp to do something fashion-y or architecture. what can i say...passion is only for the well heeled. on more random issues... the agent actually suggested U of Wollongong, which immediately set of alarms in my head because aborogines and communicating via didgeridoos came to mind at once. and then, you won't believe some of the courses up for grabs... of the top of my head - - persian studies - catalan, which is the study of some obscure european language - chinese studies - latinby P at 9/08/2006 11:35:00 PM |
