SHE’S BACK…

Yes, I’m back, I have been out of the radar for a while but now I’m back. I’m done with my master’s programme and concentrating on other stuffs now.

The master’s year was a very fascinating one for me, one filled with lots of experiences and intellectual battles not only with your peers but especially within yourself which arises as a result of tutoring by well researched lecturers who believe more in realism than the metaphysical and who constantly advised us to be more reasonable than emotional in life.  My favourite course was Romanticism; my favourite theory psychoanalysis.

Psychoanalysis is a theory which helps in dealing and understanding people. The theory is divided into three main concepts namely, the id, the ego and the super ego. Each of us have these three concepts within us but one manifests more than the others. The id is the emotional part of us which acts without based on our emotions, the super ego is that part of us which acts according to the laid down rules of the society on how things should be done and the ego who is the mediator and the arbitrator between the two, that part of us which studies circumstances and blends with it.

I met people with these traits in my class, in fact, we had three people whom we nicknamed these concepts and along the way provided a platform for our class discussions.

Generally, the master’s programme was worth the while and despite the hitches that it brought along, it is one that keeps me smiling each time I reflect on it and I’m grateful to all who made it memorable for me.
