Call it whatever you want.. Commencement... Graduation... it marks the end of a stage in your life and the start of another... Its that time of year again where pictures taken from graduation ceremonies are taken and uploaded onto facebook.. where I see graduates walking abt on campus in their gowns with their cert in hand, proud parents trailing behind with proud smiles and cameras happily snapping away.. All those years of hard work, late nights, primary school through college....Kim and some of my other classmates graduated this week (they chose to grad at 3rd yr and do a post-grad in teaching).. Jealous??? just a tad.. who am I kidding.. hell ya!!.. of course Im jealous.. Ive always taken the long way and to think that'll be me in about yr is just crazy.
The gown, the ceremony, my parents being there attending my graduation. It'll be what Ive been working for all my life. A degree.
Then the inevitable question that Ive got to ask myself, what do you do once you have graduated. haha.. getting a job seems to be the obvious choice.. or go on studying??? Is a degree enough? Ive decided to only cross that bridge when I reach it.
And Ive decided to explain what I actually study.... What Ive been studying for the last 3 years... BSc in Sports & Exercise Science... No I dont know what to do if you have a sprained ankle cos Im not a physiotherapist. And no Im not getting a degree in P.E.
Got this off Wikipedia;
Sport Science is a discipline that studies the application of scientific principles and techniques with the aim of improving sporting performance. Human movement is a related scientific discipline that studies human movement in all contexts including that of sports.
The study of sports science traditionally incorporates areas of physiology, psychology, motor control and biomechanics but also includes other topics such as nutrition and diet, sports technology, anthropometry kinanthropometry and performance analysis.
So there you go.. just wanna clear the air.. in the last 3 years, the number of times ppl have asked me what do I study and once I tell them, I get responses like; "Oh so like you wanna be a P.E teacher?" =.=
Anyways, on a lighter note.. its friday night.. decided to heed a friend's advice and watch the "Pineapple Express" hahah.. (:
