Faculty Differences

[on the bus - eavesdropping on conversation around me]
Guy: You're final year aren't you? What're you planning to do afterwards?
Girl: I'm not sure, probably move on to study speech or like physio or something
Guy: Oh you should do speech! Man, speech people are just sooooo nice. Like the other day I was talking to one and they're just ... so nice. If you look at law people they're like ... *trails off* ... hm. But yeah, you should do speech, they're so nice.


lol ... not only do people generalise faculty groups but there's evident stereotypes too.


Thinking about work lately is kinda ... sad/boring/depressing ... in terms of what I would be doing and the level of interaction I would potentially have with people. Choosing accounting is basically straight away a desk job of sorts and sitting behind a computer. You probably don't get to talk to a wide variety of people (not in the sense like my retail job before), which given my year 11 mindset would probably have been perfect but so much has happened and I actually think I prefer a job where I do actually get to talk and interact with people on a regular basis. No idea what I've been through to get to this stage and thought process but man, even preparing for oral presentations - I used to just die at the thought. I hated public speaking and wouldn't for the world have anything to do with getting in front of a group of people listening to me talk. But now, it's changed. Had an oral presentation 3 or so weeks ago to prepare for and present and just before it, I only felt slightly nervous. No butterflies, no desperation to pee (lol), no crazy beating heart. I have another presentation tomorrow and I'm feeling pretty relaxed as well about it I think? Strange.


But such a difference does it make to rely on God in everything I do ...
