I'm a twentysomething and I'll keep being me:.

After years of expensive education
A car full of books and anticipation
I'm an expert on Shakespeare and that's a hell of a lot
But the world don't need scholars as much as I thought

Maybe I'll go traveling for a year
Finding myself or start a career
I could work for the poor though I'm hungry for fame
We all seem so different but we're just the same

Maybe I'll go to the gym, so I don't get fat
Aren't things more easy with a tight six pack?
Who knows the answers? Who do you trust?
I can't even separate love from lust

Maybe I'll move back home and pay off my loans
Working nine to five answering phones
Don't make me live for my Friday nights
Drinking eight pints and getting in fights

I don't want to get up, just let me lie in
Leave me alone, I'm a twenty something

Maybe I'll just fall in love that could solve it all
Philosophers say that, that's enough
There surely must be more

Love ain't the answer, nor is work
The truth eludes me so much it hurts
But I'm still having fun and I guess that's the key
I'm a twenty something and I'll keep being me

I'm a twenty something
Let me lie in, leave me alone
I'm a twenty something

Make revision to a dream:.

It's kind of sad to say this, but if it weren't for yoga I wouldn't have any interesting class this semester. The problem is that I'm taking two of the so-called core courses, that is, mandatory courses for everyone. This implies two things, not everyone has the same level/interest for those particular classes, and teachers only treat subjects in rather general levels. In other words, boring!!:.

For instance, if you have colleagues that can barely program their way out of a Basic program, you cannot expect them to have decent discussions about real world software engineering!!. If not even the teacher can understand a beautiful code when it passes right through his nose, you're wasting your time. What's more, if he can't even understand, let alone explain, topics he is supposed to teach you, you are not in good hands.

If a teacher spends most of her class showing you how to use some program, just a damn UML modeling tool, all hope is lost!!. If you combine this with unsupported claims against current trends like Agile Modeling, or avoid discussions just by claiming 'this is what's been used in the industry', you might as well just be losing your time.

I know that at a postgraduate level you are supposed to specialize in the things you like, and that courses like the ones I mentioned above are intended to give you an introduction to areas you wouldn't normally consider. Still, the quality of the particular courses I'm taking right now is way below the average!!:.

You need something for which to care,
saying, why can't we look the other way?
