The boy came over to my house for dinner in the evening. Mum had a talk with him. It wasn't those fierce talk that you would have thought of. But just talk that will allow boy to know more about us.
I wasn't there but boy told me everything. The emotions in me were anger with a tint of hatred and happiness/relief. I do not know exactly what I was exactly feeling, tears just kept rolling. Tears of anger? Tears of relief? Tears of gratefulness? I would say it is a mix.
Boy was great. He brought me to the playground to cheer me up. He did his best to stay neutral during the talk and defend me for some stuff. He was wonderful.
Mum, I know its hard on you. Its hard on me too because I am now going through a major transition in my life. I hope you can understand. The reason why I took up my full-time job was kinda like a long term investment. Trust me mum, I will get a degree. Its just that time isn't right.
My boss was right. He said, " Working full-time and studying part-time is better. Maybe difficult but you get the best of both world. Companies do not look at only degree now. Compare:
- 4 years of working experience + degree
- 4 years working experence
- A degree cert
Who do you think will get the job?"
It makes perfect sense. And thats what I am gonna do - work and study. Anyway, I've been through it. Why I can't challenge myself again?
Guess it's time to sit down with my mum and have a talk.
