So, this is the second entry for today (obviously the first one was not posted over here, yet I just feel like I want to share this with you) and I can’t seem to
stop myself from writing. It was not because I have been taking notes of
everything that happens during the day which has become a rather addictive habit, but it was due to the fact that I want
to write for the moment I have finally felt the love or shall I call it the passion I have
always longed for.
I skipped the second half of my entertaining behavioural
lecture in order to attend the lectureship presentation panel along with other
members of staff, to make sure we recruit the best lecturer/researcher for the
department. They were all inspiring lectures I have to admit but the skills
varied. Some were great in engaging the audience, some were tedious (according
to the others because I missed a few), some were quite targeting at a different group of audience I
would think... But at the end of the day, they are people who want to teach –
or at least I hope they are!
There was a little joke with Aurel about the most handsome man
in the room, the fair value question from Kevin, funny stories and comments.
There were also a
few people that I couldn’t recognise and neither could Bill but it doesn’t
matter. Then we all walked back to the office corridor where we have been working
together for over 6 months (to me, as a new member of the group). It felt perfect. At the end of the day, we are a group of people, working together,
towards the ultimate goal of bringing knowledge to students, enjoying the
academics joke, despite the fact that we do think differently and have various
opinions.
This is what I love - being an academics, and everything is just the beginning. :)
