I don't like school. I was completely over school when I came back from studying abroad in Taiwan and pretty much took the minimum I could during my last semester at Berkeley. I just don't feel like I learn anything. Going to most lectures just seem like a waste because whatever professors lecture can be read from the textbook we have to read. And I just don't feel as if I retain anything I learn.
I guess I'm a more hands-on person. I must experience it to really learn and retain all the information. This is why I would rather work than go to classes. Or maybe I just chose the wrong major. I don't mind doing homework (that is not reading) because it helps me understand the material. Simply reading does nothing for me. And well, the only homework we ever really got in pscyh was reading and occasional reports. Maybe my major has made me lose interest in school.
And now that I'm thinking about this...I find myself reconsidering everything again. Do I really want to go back to school? Granted it's only like 1 or 2 years. But think of the things I could be doing instead.
I am reconsidering applying for Teach for America. I was not impressed last year when I talked to the recruiter. But this will allow me to start work immediately rather than have to go through a year or two of schooling.
And then there's the teaching English in Taiwan. Should I re-apply for that again now that I have my diploma?
Do I apply for everything again? It's so much money. And if I choose Teach for America over grad school? Think of all the money I would've wasted in applying because I cannot defer grad school admissions.
Man, I really do think too much.
But...what should I do?
