  lately i've been cramming for the exams and wallowing therefore in Karl Marx, Max Weber, Emile Durkheim, and all these other men I find so fascinating (and yet far less attractive than Ben. haha. have to add that, otherwise there'll be some sour face in front of some computer somewhere. heh, nah, i'm kidding.)

  I fish and figure out Economics, Society, Politcs, Organizations, .... from the eyes of many authors.

  Ideal cases. Theories that failed. Theories that were brilliant.

  Criticisms and calls to action.

   

  and then i read Leviticus 25 about the Year of Jubilee

  what a breath of fresh air :0)

  makes me love God!

  read it, if you would. it's so interesting! my cell group was doing a bible study and this was one of the passages... and i guess the sociology student in me just lept. haha.

   

   

  other things i've been studying:

  communism, capitalism

  labour and wages

  organizational culture

  racial, class and gender descrimitation in the workplace

  emotion work and emotional labour

  life transitions

  religion

  inviduals lives within hstorical and time contexts

  men's life courses

  women's life courses

  education

   

  i'm rather enjoying it, i must say, and am starting to see a little what it might all lead to.

  i never really thought i'd be uncertain still about what to do in the years to come. my education process has taken a few turns... and i imagine that if i were still with university of buffalo at SIM, i'd be graduating right about now. but i don't look back on that change with regret. i knew it would happen and there were many constaints like finances, and more than that, that the course winded up not skewed in the direction of my liking. i refused (and still do) to end up in shirts and pants or powersuits and strutting up and down the busy CBD, amidst the city crowd. (wait a minute, i do do that now with Ben... just minus the relevant apparel. haha.) that's really wonderful but it's just not my place. =]

  besides, i knew my time at SIM was such a blessing... i learnt really valuable things and got to know amazing people who meant so much for my walk with God. plus, i enjoyed the foundation year of broad-based learning under the american system, and it was great! World civilizations, music, psychology, nutrition,.... i've got a feeling these would be useful for me yet.  well, right now, i suppose many things (as always) are brewing on my heart. it's just which path to choose. (anybody wanna throw in more ideas? i'm open, really.)

  i'm excited to see where He leads. :0)

   

  

  watch with me.
