Back to School blues

One fine day I decided that having a BA in Philosophy was as useful as a bikini in the North Pole. I do not want to sound like a pessimistic brat; after all I was the one who chose this subject to study. But coming from a little island in the middle of the Mediterranean- where half the people have no clue what philosophy is, my degree is not considered as something important. (The Maltese are more interested in lawyers, doctors and teachers graduating).

During one of my epiphamatic(another word that should be added to the Oxford dictionary) moments in my life I decided to do a masters! In what was another dilemma. So I started asking around, looking online and it is there that I decided to combine my philosophical background with the business world. And this October I started my MA in Business Ethics. Obviously Brain decided to join me in my academic adventure; we applied and waited for our acceptance letter. Which as everything on this island took a while, and in fact two days before starting the course we got approved to start!

The journey started with a mass, and may I emphasise that I am not the religious type. But it was sweet, I have to admit that the Theology Faculty made us feel welcome, everyone came over to introduce them selves and they even organised some nibbles and drinks which completely won me over! 

So Pinky and the Brain are now on a new adventure! And the challenging part is sitting down and typing an assignment! Writing the blog is so much easier! I felt that my writing skills flew out of the window! I have become such a perfectionist in what I write. My press release experience has influenced me in bad way as now I'm writing short and straight to the point. Working on a computer 8 hours a day make me feel less keen to just sit down and start typing! My philosophical writing style is in hibernation and it seriously needs to make a move because my deadline is next Tuesday!

Therefore I decided to use my assignment block to write a blog instead :) 

Hopefully tonight might be a little bit easier...if not tonight we have tomorrow...damn it that's Friday!! Well some way or another we'll finish it!

But one day...we'll take over the world...with a MA in Business Ethics while wearing Louboutins!!
