Logically Illogical

Feb 14
1.  Actually, no I haven’t.  At 27 years of age, having gone through 6 years of schooling, going back to school to get another degree isn’t really something I would want to do because it means more time and money wasted.  If there’s anything I learn from my friends who are already working in the field, having a degree means nothing; it’s your portfolio that matters.  2.  I am Indonesian.  Bet you didn’t see that one coming. 3.  You’re welcome. 4.  Hard choice, but I would have to say Zoro, because he got more screen time, and therefore I got to know him better. 5.  It is actually quite uncommon… Well, at least I think.  I don’t think many (or any) of my students read manga / watch anime.  Even if they do, my work is predominantly One Piece, so for them to know the existence of this online persona named “e1n”, they would have to be in the OP fandom.  I like to keep my hobby separate from work, because it might cloud my professionalism as a teacher.  Imagine if one of my students turn out to be a big OP fan, and we ended up talking a lot about OP outside class.  This could lead to other kids in the class suspecting favoritism, and even other teachers might think this way too.  Not just that, maybe while grading exams, I will subconsciously become more lenient when grading this person’s exams.  It causes bias, and I would rather avoid that.  I love helping my students, but I would not want to get too close to any of them, especially not because of art/fandom.
