I still want to take the extra course in psychology if my GPA hits the requirements this sem. Of course, they're doing it by invitation only, so... damn. One can only hope, since I'm not sure if I should, even if I want to. If the current workload is enough to drive me bonkers at times, then how the hell will I handle night classes?

It's just that I like psychology. I still wonder if I could be some sort of counsellor, or psychiatrist, or psychologist in the future. The human mind fascinates me. I originally intended to go for a psychology course, but they didn't offer any such thing in the polys. The closest psychology course was mixed with business, and I didn't want that. I don't really care about using psychology for business, or for social working. I want to study the mind, to theorize why it functions that way, why people behave the way they do, why we feel. I want to slip into people's minds. Listen to people; learn to see beyond their words and into the heart of the issue.

Actually, sure, I could probably read up on my own. But don't you need some sort of qualification to work as a psychologist? Heck, a profiler sounds more than awesome, actually. Though I doubt I can be a profiler in SG, lol. It's okay! Dream big, and then cross that mountain when you get to it.

But I'm still a writer first, and I still want my hermit time, so yes. Maybe not. There are many paths one can take, after all. And if it's what I'm called for, I can be pretty damn sure God will move heaven, hell and earth to make sure I fulfill that calling.

Off-topic, but Bones returns this Thursday! Finally. I can't sit down and watch a show without a single production/script/character development thought crossing my mind.

Heck, I can't even hate the current Hannah-Booth-Brennan arc because of what I've learned. It's a plot point. It's there to examine the characters' dynamics and relationships. It's there to develop the characters (without Hannah Brennan might've never broken down to the point of confession), and push their relationship in a direction we all desire.

It will pass.

And most importantly, while I wish I could hate the current arc, I can't, because from a writer's point of view, introducing Hannah - someone you can't hate and that Brennan isn't cat-fighting with - is quite an ingenious way of laying the foundation for Booth and Brennan's ultimate acknowledgement of their feelings. The fans might be furious (that includes me), but I understand why they're doing it. It's for the characters' own good. Brennan won't just come to terms with her feelings with a snap of her fingers, without some kind of trigger.

THAT JUST MAKES IT HARDER, DAMNIT.

Oh, I can't wait for Dragon Age II (March) and Skyrim (Nov). Writers, work your magic!
