Having tired myself out for for the past few weeks, I rewarded myself to a German-English Dictionary and a book by Guenter Grass today. After the Math test, with the knowledge that there were some surprise questions, I decided to do something that would bring life back to my exhausted physical body again. And indeed!!! The time to shop alone without any stress or distractions did help to bring back some balance in my life. I was slightly stimulated by Grass's initial introduction in his book. Also, with a new dictionary to help me in my quest to perfect my command of the German langauge, I found myself with renewed energy, at least till now.
Shopping for books never bore me. It only serve to stimulate. There is just so much that I do not know. I simply wonder how I can plough through the tons and tons of publications in the market to get my hands on literature which appeal to me. The problem is, I do not have any specific preferences. As long as I find the writing interesting and intellectually stimulating, I will read it.
With the workload, I wonder how I can manage to finish the books that I have bought. But I am sure that I can do it. (IN the context of Educational Psychology, this is one of the strategies for Regulation of Motivation / Affect. It is called the Self-Efficacy Control where one talks positively to oneself to maintain self-efficacy and confidence.) I like it when I recall and make meaning of what I have read. This is what education should be. I have missed out so much is the past years. Hopefully, it is not too late to catch up.
Alright, I got to get back to my German essay now. Will right more soon.
Thank you Lord!
