(no subject)
Something I was thinking about in class today.
My teacher somehow got into a tangent about being a professor. He gave us a lot of his own experiences growing up such as when he was stuck with a professor who would assign fifty page papers, and then not even bother reading them. Just a checkmark. And he talked about the experiences he had going to seminars and with his professor and all, and it made me think a bit.
Like... sometimes I wonder. Can I do that? Could I be a professor? Wouldn't that be kind of a neat thing? Like it is weird cuz I get ideas for what I wan tto do all the time but this is the one that sort of struck a chord with me for some odd reason. I thought "it wouldn't be so bad". Like I see people who are working to achieve prof. status such as unsymbolic and izkariote and I'm like...wow. That's so crazy.
I sort of want to try it. I do want to go for a masters at least, one point in my life, but there is a fear inside of me. It's not that I don't have what it takes. It's that I won't put the effort necessary to complete it. Or that I won't be able to take the first step. Or I don't want it bad enough. I'm not even sure if I want it.
It's also hard cuz I cannot imagine being a graduate anywhere else but UWF. I love my teachers. It's why this idea came into my head because I SERIOUSLY LOVE MY TEACHERS. Admittedly, I only had like...six different ones but they all gave a crap about their students and I loved that. Even the classes that I nearly failed on? Yeah, I still think they are amazing teachers because they care. Absolutely wonderful. These are what professors should be. My teacher took 25 minutes out of lecture time (that he never wastes LOL) just to tell us how he felt about what a professor stood for. And how college professors should be the ABSOLUTE BEST quality because they too could be leading future professors, etc etc. and an uncaring teacher is the worst.
Seriously, WHY WOULD YOU NOT READ YOUR OWN STUDENT'S PAPER AFTER ASSIGNING IT TO THEM. LOL.
Idk, it's just something I've been considering and I think I'll be looking into it. History is a beautiful subject and I wish I would give it my all sometimes (I really like Victorian England and British Constitutional history so far. I also like the various wars kekeke). I am finding certain subjects I really enjoy!
I'd want to do it at UWF but their program does not seem so large so it makes me sad but augh. I love them so much, I really really do. I guess we'll see. One last thing before bed.
