Perturbed

Flipping through the jobs' column in the newspaper ended up me feeling perturbed.

None of the vacancies required specifically on an English degree and I started to feel hazy about my future. For me, choosing to major in English is actually very risky as my career will be confined only in lecturing, teaching, editing, translating. And the most important thing is, I don’t find myself relish in any jobs mentioned.

I’d conferred this question with one of my course mate once. Does this course deserve our 3 years or this--$$$$? Or in contrary, it deserves neither? And both of us couldn’t reach out an answer. I guess it’s pretty much subjective.

I remembered I was in dilemma five months ago of which course to choose. I did contemplate about business study. But, well, you know I m not good in fumbling with numbers and all those stupid formulae. Trust me; my Maths sucks. I just believe choosing business study will guarantee me a brighter future. English, on the other hands, the subject I have pretty much zeal on (take note: zeal≠proficiency) but possess less job potential. But, I eventually ended up all the vacillation, taking the risk of being unemployed.

And now I start to wobble, thinking whether my choice is smart enough. Yet feeling lucky at the same time that i don't have to deal with Maths A-N-Y-M-O-R-E. Contradicting isn't it? And finally, i think i've got an answer to my choice- RIGHT but not WISE!

我们可爱的林林,不要想太多了,既然决定了,就坚定地往前走下去吧!。。。越是想得多,自己就会变得越得烦。。。

行行出状元,每一个科都会有它的出路的。每个人也有属于自己的际遇,前途是好是坏,视乎自己入何去经营而已。。。

好好的享受你在大学的过程吧!没有多少人可以真正的选择到自己想念的科。。。比起那些人,你幸运很多了。。。

加油哦!坚定着自己的信念,一定要相信自己一定可以把眼前的这条路给走好!。。。

我永远都会祝福你的!。。。

没有什么啦,我只是一时感触,就随便抱怨下咯。
路是我自己选的,要后悔也太迟了吧。但是难免还是会有砖牛角尖的时候吗!我会加油的拉!
