I had a random injury just tonight. I think it was from sitting on my foot, but I always sit on my foot when I'm sitting at my desk. It was weird. It feels like I sprained it? Maybe it's from walking around shopping today. I do not know. I put Deep Heat and bandaged it up and everything now, and I'll sleep on it, so hopefully it's better in the morning.

ANYWAY,

I finally got off my lazy ass and uploaded some more crap to my gallery AWWW YEEAHHH. I'm in between uploads as I write this, meaning there's still more to come. Good day for you watcher of mine, eh?

I'm also uploading more 'cause just the other day, I logged in to dA just to make sure my message centre wasn't overflowing with deviations, and instead of seeing the regular homepage, I saw this instead: [link]

Happy deviant birthday to me! Woot woot woo.
:la:

But am I the only person who thinks it's weird that for my 1st deviant birthday, dA encourages-- no, tells me to get a subscription to become a Premium Member? I mean, they should be giving me a present or something, not the other way around.

Another reason I'm uploading more deviations is 'cause I've got more time on my hands, and I can afford to lose sleep. WHY?! Well, simply put, I dropped out of uni. Only temporarily. Is that even possible? I guess so. I'll be going back to school hopefully next semester (July-Nov) but if things go well with my job hunting, I may postpone going back to school till next year. But that'd be stupid. I wanna get my new course over and done with so I can enter the job/industry of my dreams -- teaching.

After graduating from high school in September 2007, I didn't get the marks I needed to get into primary school teaching at uni(versity). So I went to TAFE (not sure what the international equivalent of that would be; maybe like USA's community college?) and studied Business Management for a year (don't ask why; it's complicated). I used the marks/qualifications from BusMgmt to get into uni, and started a Bachelor of Business & Commerce, majoring in Financial Mathematics (I only chose to major in that instead of Accounting or some other crap 'cause I LOVED Maths in high school).

Since starting that course in February 2009, I've pretty much hated it. When I got my marks after the first semester I was blown away by how crap I did and immediately decided that I wanted to become a music teacher. I tossed the idea around for too long, and before I knew it, I was half way through my second semester of Financial Maths. Ugh.

Long story short, I put off dropping out of uni too long, and the day I submitted the form to "resign from my course" was what UWS calls the "census date", which is basically the deadline if you wanna drop a subject or two, pick up a subject or two, or drop out of the course entirely -- after having begun my 3rd semester of uni (they have a census date during the 5th week of every semester).

So I dropped out 3 or 4 weeks ago now, and since then, I've mostly been a couch potato with the occasional I-better-get-up-and-do-something-or-I'll-be-potato-shaped-soon attitude. I'm looking for a job and it's hard 'cause no one wants to hire me, but I'll keep looking anyway. Meanwhile, I've been given new students to teach piano. I had only 3 kids for the majority of last year, and while one stopped because she just "got bored" too often, I've already received 3 more kids this year. So even though I'm unemployed, I'm still getting some sort of income.

I used to have to use most of my weekly earnings to pay for bus and train fare to and from uni each week; I cut that expense in half this year by having 2 days of classes a week (instead of the 4 days/week I had last year); and now that expense is a no-no 'cause I'm not studying anymore. WHICH IS BRILLIANT!, 'cause now I've got no excuse to not save for things like a car and my own keyboard that I can bring to church and church camps (like how the guitarists/bassists have maybe multiple instruments and a case full of effects pedals and the drummers have spare cymbals and spare drums and spare drum skins and spare drum sticks).

Life is getting better, I guess. For the time being (that is, until I go back to school), I have to research the different college and uni courses around so I can find what will best suit what I want to do and what I hope to achieve. Yeap, yeap, yeap, everything's just sorta fallin' into place. Can't take any credit for all that, though. It all goes to Big Daddy/Lord Almighty/Creator of the Universe.

I like teachers :) That is I like teachers that really want to teach from the bottom of their hearts and do it with care. That's not a job, that's a life mission which is really important for future world. It's shaping of the next generation. All my teachers shaped me as much as my family. And it doesn't matter what they taught me (math, singing, acting, biology), their approach and nature, their view on life, that was important.
So I wish you luck with your dream career, it's very nice. :hug:
