I feel like my decision to take a Marketing major was definitely right for me.
I love academics like no tomorrow. I’m talking math, social, english, science (I stopped being good at that in grade 11).
I just love having my brain stimulated by words and numbers.
Critical thinking makes me happy.
I relate everything to math. I believe that math is a universal language anyone can understand, as long as they take the time to analyze it properly. (For some reason I can understand any concept more once I put it in math terms…)
However, I also have a love for visual arts. It’s something I have always identified and have been identified with. It’s always been “Oh Joanna, she’s a good artist.”
Ironically, I’ve always hated art class and nearly failed it twice. I’ve had structured and unstructured (free-reign) art classes and I still haven’t done well in them.
My first dream job as a kid was to become an animator due to my love for anime and cartoons. That dream slowly died as I learned that animation will lead me to nowhere, there’s no money in that field, etc etc.
I have been interested in several occupations thereafter such as a lawyer, a mechanical engineer, and even a biomedical engineer.
Of course that died as soon as Chemistry 20 IB came along.
I figured that I would take a Marketing degree seeing as it combined both my love for maths and creative output through advertising. It also provides the opportunity for international jobs.
But now I am torn between finishing my Marketing degree then immediately going into the work force (aided by my plans of taking the co-op programme), or taking a graphic arts diploma.
I’m afraid that my time in graphic arts will sully the knowledge and experience I’ve earned from my Marketing degree and render it useless. I want to enter into the corporate world, not exactly to climb the corporate pyramid but at least have some kind of executive job.
I guess it’s off to the career counselor I go. I hope they’ll help me figure out how to satisfy both my mind and soul.
I wrote a post regarding a video of peaceful protesters being shot at in Bahrain. I wrote it partially to try and rid myself of the images and partially to get the word out. I even posted it on my Facebook, mainly because nobody there seems to know/care about the situation.
In that post, I was…
If you read the whole chapter you’ll find that it talks about “A Time For Everything”. I find that it’s actually very encouraging especially during these dark days since the chapter explains that although today may be horrible, it will get better. I especially like verses 7-8:
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
I believe that now is the time to speak.
Regarding verse 14, I think it is saying that everything that is happening now is happening for a reason so nothing is futile and that the things that the protesters are doing and enduring is something that they will not regret.
Again I recommend reading the entire chapter, as it does rather encourage one to do something because it is time.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from reading the Bible, it’s to take things in context. It’s quite dangerous to single out one verse and figure out the message based on that.
I hope you don’t feel that I’ve attacked you in anyway, I’m just trying to clear up some things :)
It can’t be…IS MY OTP GOING TO BE CANON FOR REALS???
There’s a first time for everything :)
Episode 14 you better not be giving me false hope!
I don’t know if I’m just being overly emotional… or scared… or who the fuck knows.
But the citizens of Libya are tugging at my heartstrings.
I admit, as much as I want to know what’s going on, I really do go out of my way to avoid the news. I go out of my way to not read about what’s going on…
Your feeling of helplessness kind of reminds me of what the cameraman said in Hotel Rwanda. The hotel manager was talking about the idea that since so many people are going to be able to see the footage of the massacre in Rwanda that something would be done about it, but the cameraman replies that “People are going to watch this and say ‘That’s horrible.’ and continue eating their dinners.”
You remind me of the cameraman who knew that this was happening but felt that he couldn’t do anything about it.
However I do believe that because this horrible news is getting talked about by people like you, there WILL be something done about it. You can’t just ignore a million people crying out and against these atrocities.
Thank you for letting this (and all your other news posts) be known.
By the way, don’t be disheartened by the fact that people don’t seem to be so interested in your writing. Even if they may follow you for your face, it still gives the exposure to important events. Who knows, you may one day inspire someone who used to just follow you for your face into someone who cares about your writing and have the power to do something about it :)
