It's that time of night again during my finals week wherein I get so engrossed in my work that I realize I actually love writing all of these papers.
You see, the first stage of finals week is all about the minor subjects. That is the part I do not really enjoy. Endless sleepless nights for projects, group collaborations, long research papers and presentations for minor subjects that I am already so tired of. Don't get me wrong tho. There are several minor subjects I still really look forward to, like psychology and sociology. But seriously, I'm so tired of Philippine history. I'm so tired of the formality of learning it when I know for a fact I don't really understand anything. My whole grade school and high school Philippine history classes did me no good because they were all in Tagalog. I had no interest in studies, so I gave no effort and now my whole memory of Philippine history is just a really empty space in my mind. Aaaannyway.
I'm doing my majors' final papers now and I'm realizing it's so fun! I love doing reviews, critiques and long essays about early childhood education. I wish I was always this optimistic about my majors. It usually arises during the times when I have to be completely submerged in doing all my work because it's due really soon. It's funny because that happens during finals, and after finals comes the break. I wish I could cultivate this passion. I feel like sometimes college is what ruins my idea of early childhood education and teaching. I learn a lot of things from school but sometimes it's so exhausting (especially with this 22+ unit load) that I lose the very feeling of why I wanted to take this course in the first place. The feeling that I feel now.
I think I'm going to enjoy it for a while and continue reading and doing my papers! :D
