Me: I might take Educational Psychology this year, mum.

Her: Why? It's boring, don't take it. I've taken it, it's horrible.

Me: Well, it sounded okay. And I might need it. I'm thinking of minoring in education.

Her: *looks at me somberly* Don't go into education, Alexandria.


LOLOLOL. That from a teacher.

I can seriouslyseriously see myself doing it, though.

But idk if that's because I'd actually like it (I'm pretty sure I would, because I like kids, but it would always not be my first choice thing, I think) or because I'm afraid of going for medicine and failing and just want to take the easy way instead of risking that. Prolly a combination.

It's disheartening.

It is. I mean, the government really wants to get good new teachers? Find out what's making all the existing ones badmouth going into education and fix that.

I'm doing educational psychology this semester, also.

Rly? I still don't know what I'm taking, LOL. Prolly only one thing, though, as since I'm going to be part timeing it, I can't (I think) get any kind of financial aid.

You'll have to tell me how it goes.

Well, I just had my first Edu Psych lesson and we have to build a website. Holy crap, I thought I signed up for Education, not Computing!

Jeeze. The first time a kid comes up to you and asks you a question about math, are you going to say "Wait, I haven't yet built my website outlining my educational goals for the class!"? No. That's quite odd. In Edu Website Building, perhaps, but Psych? Interesting.
