These first two days of school have been extremely exhausting for me. As a third-year student, my classes have become more difficult, intensive, interactive, and time-consuming. This semester, I am taking PSYC 444 Clinical Case Studies and Psychology Research. Both classes have to do a lot with cognitive neuroscience, the study of brain functions, and studying patients with brain damages. I think I have gotten a bit lost amidst all the brains. I begin to think, what all these have to do with my future if I want to be a teacher. I start to think if this is really what I want to do. I need to admit that I am a bit lost. I do realize that the scientific foundation of this subject gives me security. In my opinion, this is science because we are studying the brain. We are trying to understand something concrete, instead of something abstract, like emotions. It suits me in a sense that I am a logical person. But... still, I am a little bit lost.
This semester will be particularly busy for me as I will be preparing for the first annual International Month here at U of R. This has been very exciting because we had a planning meeting today and over 40 people showed up with ideas and suggestions. I know that I am leaving a mark here in this school, changing the school culture, and promoting diversity which is something I am passionate about.
At the same time, I have been hearing great things about GIGs. I pray that God will provide the right partner for me, the right people in the group, and the right time for everyone.
I pray that for every step I take, I do it with God. I pray that God gives me more courage and strength to go through each day with joy and energy. I pray that God grant me sensitive ears so that I am able to converse with Him every day at any time.
