The towel has been thrown July 25, 2006
I sat down at the computer to work on my assignment and decided that it’s not going to happen. I’m going to drop out of this subject.
This is the way I make decisions sometimes. Something just clicks and it’s done. There’s no going back once it happens.
I could cite a number of reasons - some good, some not so good - but at the root of it all I just don’t care enough about it. It’s not something I’m particularly interested in. It’s something I picked up just because the Open Universities website recommended it. I really should have gone with my gut and done one of the subjects that really grabbed me.
I could be annoyed that I wasted the money it cost to enrol in it, but in some ways it hasn’t been a waste and I refuse to regret anything. What actually annoys me is the way I know The Mavis will look at me when she finds out. We’ve been there before and it always results in an argument.
For the next study period I’m enrolled in Introduction to Psychology 1A through Monash. I’m considering doing this subject as well. These subjects are the types of things I want to do, not writing pretend 500 word tenders to solve a problem.
I’ve had that conversation myself, but now value my time and energy enough not to waste it on things that don’t interest me. So I would probably have made the same decision.
