So why study Lit? (continued)

Okay.. coming back to the question, "why study lit?" Sigh* I know there's no definite answer but I'm not satisfied with not finding out either. The more I answer I don't know..the more I want to know.. this is the part about being a girl.. hahaha.. typical!

I did however put this question aside over the weekend but somehow 3 other people asked me by chance this week the same question, "hey, so why did you take up Literature?" It's like I have to answer for real this time.

I would say, I like learning literature. In fact, I love it a lot! I began to notice that I look forward to reading poems more than anything else. I began to notice I try to think more than is needed. How shall I put it..? It's just like I'm being trained to be a lit student from scratch. Your senses tries to be more alert to things which to most people it may seem...ordinary?

I'm sure even till now that I do want to do psychology after A-Levels, that I'm sure but I feel a little guilty and wasteful to just forget all I learnt in Lit. Of course there's always the option to do a double degree or a twinning programme but that means I'll spent more time studying before earning. I think i began to understand why mom was greatly encouraging me to come for A-Levels instead of jumping into foundation straight away. Maybe that extra time would prepare me better to choose what road I want to take hence forth.

I think as sure as a person can be sometimes, God will put you to the test and it's His way of giving us an option in life, a second choice. It's still months away before I need to worry about this but the actual comes down to either a twinning or double in either psychology and law or psychology and lit. Wah..tough choice!

Eunice asked yesterday, "Eh..why did want to take literature anyway?" I was a little dumbfounded at first but I think I gave an answer something like that, "That was actually the first subject I choose, Law and Econs were the only subjects I think I could cope with. I really like studying Lit cause I enjoyed it with Pn Lyla back in school so I did the same when I came into MCKL." Eunice said it was good that it was my first choice and that I like it cause not many poeple who will truly enjoy it these days.

Everyone keeps saying that I'll become a lawyer and I don't think I would (I hope not la..) not that I don't like it but I just think my family doesn't need 2 lawyers. Ahahaha..! I want to become a psychologist cause one I love to talk and two cause I want to help people by talking them through their lowest moments in life and just be there for all those I love and care about.

Well..this post is long enough, I'll leave it here first...maybe I'll find more answers.. :)
