Paradigm Shift

Last Sunday, I was brooding to my friend that I have a long, long break before my NTU course will start...
Since the courses start in August, and I ORD in September,I have a almost 11 months of nothingness before my degree program starts...

So I was like considering some major options that I can foresee myself doing during the almost-year-long-break :

1) Rejoin STOMP to be a Temp Video Producer -
That is a pretty good option, if not for the fact that I still feel so guilty for leaving the company when they needed me really badly. Even though it was for an important reason, I wonder if I'd still have the guts to ask if they have a vacancy for me..

2) Work at a Dermatologist as an apprentice or helper -
Wow. Now that is a positive step towards my final goal ain't it? Problem is, it's not going to help my financial woes during the long, dry period. It's really interesting, but I highly doubt my parents will fund my piggy bank.

3) Teach Piano to kids
I think this is the most flexible, potentially profitable and least time consuming job among the three... only one small problem.. WHO WANTS TO LEARN PIANO? I'd really suck at teaching classical piano because I hate it so much myself... but it's still important as it provides the fundamental grounding...
I can teach them stuff like "November's Chopin" or "The Secret" or even "Canon in D", but they'd be struggling in deep water because they havn't learn how to even save themselves...




... so while I was demanting myself with these considerations, somebody quipped, "Why don't you become a personal fitness trainer?"

I think it just killed 2 birds with one stone...
no. more then that. it killed like the entire flock.

It would solve my goal of being in the paragon of fitness, allow me to learn resistance, isolation, anaerobic and aerobic programs professionally, and more importantly, achieve my consistent ultimate goal of wanting to make people look good.

and again, no. I don't believe that making people look good is to make yourself look bad.
(in response to Seamus' demoralizing comment. lolz)

Hmm...
To top it off, I'm a quite a health nut as well.

Haha... I think if I ever achieved it, lots of my old acquaintances will probably keel in a dead faint.

Well, there are a few routes that I can choose, all require funding, but I think I can pay for at least 75%... hopefully my parents can quip the rest..

Sounds difficult huh... but the thing is these course and programs can overlap each other simultaneously..
so if I'm hardworking enough, I should be able to get a decent set before I reach 30 years old.


interesting huh?


haha...

I wonder if I would even be able to achieve it...
It sounds pretty interesting to me... but I've gotta study deeper into it...

=)

I feel my goals shifting.
