OK, so all of a sudden, my academic syllabus (outside of business modules) is gravitating towards sociology. I totally didn't see that coming! It wasn't really out of choice - because I had only wanted to do an exposure module in sociology, just to see what it is really about. But it seems like everyone is jumping on the Psychology bandwagon. So being the non-confrontational creature that I am, I retreated from the battle that is 21 crazy nuts fighting over 6 spaces in the class. And later on, I decided to take Sociology of Family in its place.
Shan't bother you guys further about the technical details. I'll cut to the chase. This semester, I'm taking a soci exposure mod and another mod called the Sociology of Family.
Like Alanis Morrisette would sing, "Isn't it ironic"? Considering what I was talking to Pam T about the other day. An hour an a half long conversation about family (mine, not about family in general.) I don't know what is the state of family now in Singapore. It's a social construct - that much I know - but what is its function? I don't know for now, and I want to know. For my own good.

My spiritual life right now, as well, is going haywire. I don't understand, it's like my mind is undergoing a tumultuous revolution. Like civil war or something. And I don't believe it's because I'm coming of age or whatever. 21 is just a number (really.) - when you mature doesn't depend on when society decides you shall (or will) mature. I don't really know where it stems from. Perhaps it was just waiting to erupt, but the time wasn't ripe then.

Hmmm...
Meditate on this you shall
The answer lies in a distant mile
May the Soci module light your way
Revealing the truth you seek some day
21 is truly a number
Passes by as quick as thunder
Search deep within yourself
There you find religion's answer
Hmmm...
Haha...Pardon my ghastly lines. It's the 5.30am thing.
