there are days when i just sit in front of my comp and want to blog
yet my brain refuse to cooperate...
like today...

what do i want to blog about?

too many many things...
unfortunately, so many many of them cannot be published for various reasons...

sigh...

gone are the days when i just blurb everything out and heck care the consequences...

*****************************************
a friend is doing her masters right now...
a friend told me that she might be doing her masters in about 2 years time..
another friend is planning to do her masters in about 1-2 years time...
my 'supervisors' are asking me if i have plans to do my masters...
my mum is asking me to do my masters before i get married (if i get married)...

what's with the masters craze?

perhaps, deep down inside, i'm just a lazy bum...
not that i don't like to learn new things...
if masters-by-coursework = new skills, new knowledge = better care of patients
i'll jump right into a masters program now.

but, in reality...
masters = revision of skills, some new skills, some new knowledge + whole load more admin work
it's the last bit that i really don't want to take on...

i dunno how many PTs actually dun mind the admin part...
ok, to be completely honest, i dun mind the admin part...
it's the stayingbacktofinishadminwork part that i mind...
and the bringworkhomebecausecannotfinishadminwork part that i really really mind..

sometimes, doing admin work is like taking a breather from clinical work...
provided there's the time to take a breather and do admin work...
most of the time, admin work is like an additional workload...
for 8 hours, one patient after another...
and then before and after the 8 hours, admin time

some PTs probably thrive with that kind of lives...
those PTs who are not lazy and slacker like me...

so masters or not...i don't really know...
i'd rather attend courses and upgrade my clinical skills...
i'm totally fine with being a physio for the rest of my working life..
the 'senior' word...doesn't really appeal to me..

as i've told a few of my 'senior physios' before..

"if i can, i want to be a junior physio forever"

as for specialisation...
that is an even bigger headache...
what do i want to specialise in?

nothing

yep...
i can't decide...
i do have preferences...
but within the preferred choices, there are more specialised fields...
and so, for now...
i'll just hover above all the special fields...
and maybe one day..
i'll hear my calling and decide that the grass is the greenest in one particular field..

till then,
i'll try to remain as open-minded as i can...
and keep my ears open for the calling...
and keep my eyes open for the greenest pasture...
