hope is the thing with feathers

hmm i'm feeling kinda tingly all over. i only recently discovered that i actually qualify to do a post grad dip in psych that's accredited by the aust psych society (thanks kavi!!). OMFG. think i only have myself to blame cos when i checked about 2 yrs ago, they didn't offer this course and only had the honours year. doh! now the question is, do a post grad dip or an mba? they would both cost around the same amount. i'll probably need to take a loan which is a bit of a bummer cos i don't wanna. haiz. the things we do for our dreams.

an mba would mean that i'll be able to do whatever it is that i'm currently doing (ie. stay in the private sector, not necessarily at the same company. heaven forbid) and move up the ranks a lot faster. post grad dip would mean that i finally get my foot in the door of psych. i'm excited y'all! i'm fine with either one lah but naturally i'm leaning more towards psych tho mba would mean hitting the big time. decisions decisions.

in work news, my manager is going on leave for 2 wks. yay! we will be shifting to the 6th floor on tuesday. apparently our new space is kinda small and fishtank-like. i have no idea what that means cos i haven't seen it yet. this is the ceo's floor tho so no more dressing like a bum to work. how sad.

i discovered on fri that sometime in nov, i'll have to make a presentation to all the heads of dept. this is regarding the annual staff survey so will have to present which depts have the highest and lowest satisfaction scores and what we can do about it. i'm praying that my h.o.d. will say he'll do it and i only need to give him the info and presentation slides. please ah please. will also be working with one of my colleagues on cleaning up the standing instructions that we have so hopefully that will occupy my time.

oh i finally signed up for the oil painting course at nafa that i'd been eyeing for the past year or so. this means that i'm officially broke this month cos it cost me friggin' 330 bucks (inc. gst and processing fee). not inclusive of materials. it better be worth it man.

I am also in the same position as you..whether to do an mba which i think its bloody over-rated or do my masters in psychology. i thank god my psych degree course was acrredited by the BPS (brit psych society) or i have to sit through some bloody conversion exam to get it accredited. is it the same for you?

i have two areas of psych i am very interested in. but the two areas are very diverse and i have to choose between the devil and the deep blue sea. but now, im just saving up lor..cos money talks and bullshits walks..

one thing for sure..i aint going to do it in the capital..i'll probably go up north to start afresh as a student, change my identity, get a nose job..hahahah..yes, that's all i need. you on the other hand, need a complete makeover..wahaha
