Impromptu Speech and Applied Linguistics

It shouldn't turn out like this. I should be able to overcome the psychological barrier of presenting publicly by now. But my impromptu speech that day was such a failure. Maybe I'm just not made to present unprepared. Sigh. I must get back on my feet. I can't go on being so low in confidence like I used to. Public Speaking and Oral Presentation- one of the subjects I'm so worried about. I must catch up with my progress in speaking no matter how. I must learn to relax. I must learn to accept challenges and work out my way.

I'm beginning to wonder going for further studies is a good idea. Of course it isn't a bad idea to become a lecturer but I don't think I'm up to the level of teaching university students yet. There's a lot more for me to improve to reach that level. Plus I'm really not sure if I love that job. In fact, I'm not sure what I want to be

Anyway, I did some research on the courses which I could take. Applied linguistics sounds interesting. But what really caught my eye is that it is related to areas other than the academic field- education, linguistics, psychology, anthropology, sociology or even criminology! Interesting huh...At least if I take this course I know my career prospect won't be restricted to only the education field. I would have more choices.

I'm more determined to take Applied Linguistics now that I have done this little research. Not 100% determine but more than before I google-searched it. XD
