I'm getting into the bad habit of staying up late these days. Of course, I do have 2 days off while the students do their exams so I have some time to rest.
The late nights haven't been helping my temper though and tonight I got something that just rubbed me the wrong way.
So..to make some things perfectly clear.
The fact that one does not need a degree to get a place in TaLK does not mean that all TaLK scholars don't have degrees. I have my degree, thank you very much. Majoring in Linguistics & English Language Teaching and Korean. Kinda suitable huh?
In New Zealand (and Australia and a bunch of other places) the normal length of a degree is 3yrs. It doesn't mean we deserve our bit of paper less..unlike some countries with 4 year degrees (a certain republic?) graduating requires 3 solid years of work..
Thats that off my chest. I know it will come across a little whin(e)y. I'll be back to my normal relaxed self once I sort out my next job.
edit: My degree status has been clarified (?!) and I will have an interview tonight. Wish me luck!
