The Challenges

Reason is dead! Long live reason!
Humility is dead! Long Live humility!
Passion is dead! Long live passion!
Nature is dead! Long live nature!
Evil is dead! Long live evil!
TRUTH HAS BEEN LIVING IN THE FALSEHOOD FOR AGES!
Routine is the death of the spirit.
May the old way of life PERISH!

PSY 3133

Sob~ I scored the 2nd test badly on one of my psychology class - Principle Behavior and Conditioning. Actually I would say the second test is a little more easier than the first one. But I guess I wasn't putting enough effort to make a good one. I know I'm not good in this class and therefore I'm sort of losing my confidence studying in this class. May be this is called learned helplessness....

...... or may be I don't know. Try not to put as much effort as possible in order to avoid receiving disappointed results. See, right now I won't get too upset because I know I didn't really study a lot for the test.

Moving up to the workforce ladder - HARD!

Hey hey, why is it so hard to look for an internship or a job that related to my major - psychology. Why am I in Oklahoma? They have any reasons to have nothing at all compared to other states in US. I found that there are so many job opportunities about Upward Bound program in Seattle, Nebraska, LA and more. Well, I only found some youth services here but it doesn't capture my attention at all by just looking at the website.

In the beginning, I thought Kat was talking about Outward Bound and therefore I was looking at the internship on their website. Outward Bound seems to be a very interesting place to work. But until now, I'm not sure what I'm really want to do because I sort of have some mentoring and teaching experience in my college years but I don't think I can be a very good mentor who has the sense of caring to really take care of the children.

Listening to Mayday Parade. Their songs are good especially - If you can't live without me.

Psychology always sound interesting to people. But I don't feel like being a counselor, therapist or a social worker who just helping people in their hard life. I may like to analyze people's behaviors, attitudes as well as their way of thinking. Honestly speaking, not trying to brat at all but I think I have the ability to read people's behaviors by just interacting with them. I can easily tell the category of people that they belong to. Well, that would somehow become my weaknesses as well. Because I'll know what kind of people they are and I may judge my friends in a mean way. BUT I don't usually do that if I don't have to. Wink*

Gosh~ I was staring at the internet for more than an hour looking for internship which related to Outward upward program in Oklahoma. My friend told me that we have to see if our campus is carrying this program so that we can actually stick our nose into it and try to find out if we can volunteer or something. Fortunately, I found that UCO is carrying this program and I was so happy with it. But when I take a closer look at the bottom of the website and guess what I saw? The website was not been updated since Nov 2008. What the.... Owhhh, come on! And then, I shifted my attention to OU, OCCC and OSU. They do have Upward Bound Program in their campus but I don't think they are hiring. They might wanna take volunteers who are working for free but I'm a UCO student. Chances of getting into their network are pretty rare.

The only reason why am I indulging myself into music recently that much is probably because I don't know what am I gonna do once I'm graduate. Well, I don't seem motivated to get involve in psychology stuffs. But when people talking about business and corporate stuffs. I may seem a little bit excited about it. Psychology sounds professional but I feel that I'll have more satisfaction when I actually working a corporate company and dealing with a challenging business world. I guess I have taken a wrong major and I won't say wasting my time but I may have to spend more time to pursue for another major that actually suit me. Studying MBA would be another option for me. But money seem to be another problem. I don't think I wanna spend my dad's money anymore.

Well, let's get a job once I graduate. But of course I wanna stay in US for a couple of years in order to earn some USD before I head back to Malaysia. But what can I work here? Okay, I'll try to get into COPE - a counseling center in OKC. At the same time, I'll try my best to apply internship in Outward Bound and see if I can get it. This internship might help me to look good on my CV. Dang it... I've still not yet fix my CV, ............ not motivated to...

Owl city is something we should listen to .... Adam's songs are relaxing and it can create a jovial mood into your soul.
