Decisions... Decisions...
Oh well, Introduction and Theoretical Background for my research already submitted. I had two colleagues read it and I had last minute revisions and corrections made before I finally had them printed. I think they're alright as they are, but my professor is very good at finding mistakes so I expect some marks when they will be given to me next Saturday. No big deal in any way. It would be a good thing because by then I'd know what I did wrong and make the necessary alterations where needed.
I haven't started on my Related Literature just yet, but I have a lot of print outs to go through. Looking at the pile of papers that gets thicker everyday, I feel the urge to run and hide sometimes (kidding!), but then this a war I started, finish the war I must... regardless of wounds and scars and bruises along the way. I am starting to enjoy the ride despite the bumpy road. I just wish I could find time each day for the things I wish to do so that I wouldn't need to be absent from the class anymore. Dr, Martinez (yeah, no less than the college President himself) has this fine way of explaining the process in a way that even my rusty mind would understand and to miss his discussion would be one big drawback on my studies. I have been absent for two sessions, but it wasn't a personal choice. I was on a dead end --- meaning, there was only one option to choose from because the option was school and work. Needless to say, work should come first because in the first place, it's the reason why I am trying my best to pursue higher education.
I heard from colleagues who took up Current Issues last summer that Dr. Matinez is demanding and a bit domineering and dominant, but now that I am personally a learner of his, I could say that he does not fit those unfair remarks. But of course, he is one person, I have sensed, who wants to bring out the best in his students and he does it in a matter of fact way --- no sugar coating. Just fine, with me. It can be a bit embarrassing with all the classmates around, but what the heck, these people also had their own share of embarrassment long before I did (thanks to the days when I needed to be absent).
And I'd thought of not enrolling during the second semester so I could focus on my work, but I guess it would not be a good decision. I am afraid that the effort I exerted on my Intro, Theoretical Background and finally, the Related Literature would be wasted if I did not continue. The semester is not yet about to end, but I have already decided to enrol in the next sem.
