A few words
"When we describe the Moon as dead, we are describing the deadness in ourselves. When we find space so hideously void, we are describing our own unbearable emptiness." ~ D.H. Lawrence "Is the meaning of life defined by its duration? Or does life have a purpose so large that it doesn't have to be prolonged at any cost to preserve its meaning?" "Living is not good, but living well. The wise man, therefore, lives as well as he should, not as long as he can... He will always think of life in terms of quality not quantity... Dying early or late is of no relevance, dying well or ill is... even if it is true that while there is life there is hope, life is not to be bought at any cost." ~ Seneca "People will tell you nothing matters, the whole world's about to end soon anyway. Those people are looking at life the wrong way. I mean, things don't need to last forever to be perfect." ~ Daydream Nation "All Bette's stories have happy endings. That's because she knows where to stop. She's realized the real problem with stories-- if you keep them going long enough, they always end in death." ~ The Sandman: Preludes & Nocturnes "The road now stretched across open country, and it occurred to me - not by way of protest, not as a symbol, or anything like that, but merely as a novel experience - that since I had disregarded all laws of humanity, I might as well disregard the rules of traffic. So I crossed to the left side of the highway and checked the feeling, and the feeling was good. It was a pleasant diaphragmal melting, with elements of diffused tactility, all this enhanced by the thought that nothing could be nearer to the elimination of basic physical laws than deliberately driving on the wrong site of the road." ~ Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita "It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend." ~ William Blake Think about it Musicalities! Kill that boredom!

Thursday, February 28, 2013 Grr, I still can't believe I missed a day. One day! So close. It's almost too late to back out of this college path I've set myself on. I don't know why I'm saying it like that. That sounds terrible. I guess in a way I'm just kind of afraid of how I'm going to deal with the future. I'm looking at grad school options for Psychology right now. A man from Palo Alto University, which is a Psych grad school, came to talk in my Social Psychology class yesterday, and since my professor recommended the school I thought I would check it out. They offer PhDs, which would take five years, and MAs, which take three years. A PhD in Clinical Psychology supposedly prepares you to be a clinical psychologist, while an MA in Counseling Psychology prepares you to be a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT). I would prefer to go for the PhD, but five more years of schooling, on top of the maybe two I'll need just to finish undergrad, is a really long time. I wouldn't be done with school until I was almost 30... Since my brother is going to do med school, neither of us would really be done with school until about that age. I'm wondering if it would make more sense to go for the MA and try to get out into the job market earlier. I'm not sure what job prospects are like for MFTs though. Looking at the Occupational Outlook Handbook, it looks like Clinical Psychologists make about twice as much as MFTs. That's... a pretty considerable difference. Both fields are projected to grow faster than average, though. I wonder if it would be possible to get the PhD in less than five years? I don't know if they require you to take courses in a certain order (probably) or if they would let you condense them by taking on more at once. Could I do that without killing myself? I don't know my limits. Even when I'm feeling "overwhelmed" it's usually just because I put stuff off, not because it's actually more work than I can handle. --- My computer is still broken... I'm typing this from a school laptop. My boyfriend is going to buy a new motherboard and processor and try to fix my computer on Saturday. We don't know if it's actually the motherboard and processor, though. My dad said it could also be the power supply. I don't really care what it is, I just want it to work. :\ On the other hand, without my computer working, I've been going to bed an average of two/three hours earlier. The days seem longer. Maybe it would be a good idea for me to limit my screen time... 5 Comments. re:c - LOL So you know what I mean that it's not working for me either. By the time you get around to your PhD, you probably aren't going to class full-time. Actually your MA doesn't have to be either. You can start working right out of undergrad or maybe do an internship (paid maybe) while you pursue MA or PhD. In regards to MFTs...just don't work with Asians because they don't believe in quacks for that! » Silver-dot- on 2013-02-28 03:36:06 ^class, shmash, I'm not sure you even have those for PhDs. In essence, substitute class with "academic related huffle puff". » Silver-dot- on 2013-02-28 03:37:31 I've already come to terms with the fact that I won't be finished with school until I'm well in to my 30s. That's what happens when you get a late start =S Silver has a point; once you get the MA, you can get a part time job and take the minimal classes left for the PhD, which usually doesn't require full time school. It's a lot of work, but if it's something that you truly want to do, the passion for it will help get you through it. » LostSoul13 on 2013-02-28 10:56:36 Yeah, serious. It's golden. » middaymoon on 2013-03-01 12:12:58 You could always research and see how much time you would take to get your PhD after your Masters then decide. Sometimes going into the job market too late is bad because you don't have the experience yet you command a high pay because of your qualifications. Some people end up being a lecturer because of that. Re: If I follow Malaysian time, I missed the 23rd by 10 minutes but if I am following NuTang timezone, I am safe. » Nuttz on 2013-03-01 03:28:41
