I don’t understand why BA need to conceptualise every. single. thing. What’s wrong with using/calling it command or demand instead of ‘mand’. Why can’t motivation remain as motivation and not be further complicated by calling it ‘Motivating Operations’ and subdividing it into ‘Establishing Motivation’ and ‘Abolishing Motivation’ (there are more subdivisions, btw). Remembering the jargons is one thing. Defining them in THEIR words is another thing.
The rant may not be directly related to my current state of mind, instead it is triggered by this sudden flood of information that’s getting a bit too overwhelming for me. I’ve been working on one of my essays since this afternoon. It’s exciting (yes, weirdly) yet scary at the same time.
It’s a blessing to be in a university here. We have an almost unlimited access to thousands and thousands of academic journals. So it makes research and learning a whole lot easier and enriching. But when there are just SO many journals under the same topic of interest, you just don’t know which ones are actually relevant. In my case, I’m swimming thorugh the sea of academia love letters to do an essay. The more I read, the more blurry the general question of the essay title becomes. I even had to use the brain of a polititian-in-training to help me see the light at the end of THIS tunnel. Yes, I’m getting a cognitive overload here. Synaptic connections aren’t enough for a quick absorption of information.
I should stop for a while and spend some quality time with God.
