It's my 21st today!
Not like i really bother though. Bah...
Still, up till now, plenty has happened, and i guess its pretty much for sure that plenty more will. Feeling a little, "i dunno" at the moment. Funny how when i'm so close to my dream, i feel this way. More like so close yet so far. Math...
Spoke to an old classmate of mine earlier today. When i told her that i might settle for law instead of med should i not be able to make it in, she was rather...surprised. Sure, it's totally unrelated and yeah, people have warned me that if i go into a course for the money it's gonna be tough, but it isn't like being a lawyer wasn't on my list at some point in my life. Besides, i've always harboured this lingering thought that i'd do better in law than in med. Simply due to the omission of math. So then, let's list the steps as to how i got to law as being my second choice shall we? (at least for those interested enough)
If i do medicine, it's purely for interest. No, contrary to popular belief, it isn't for the money. If it was i would have done law and finance and then go become a fund manager or something, which i still might. Ok. Should i not be able to pursue a career as a doctor, i'd like to do something that 1) earns a lot of money, 2) is legal, 3) is achievable, 4) interests me. The sciences that i'm interested in don't regulary produce high earners, unfortunately. I am very interested in psychology(low pay), sociology(even lower pay), anthropology(oh, you get paid for that?) and a couple of other human sciences. they do come later in the list of my prefered courses, but law happens to fit the bill of what i'm looking for. It does earn quite a lot, is within the legal boundaries, is definitely achievable and yup, certain aspects interest me(high pay, high pay, did i mention high pay?). Even if it's a boring job as my chemistry tutor told me, i wouldn't mind doing it if the paycheck was huge enough. Besides, it does hold some prestige.
Ok then, that done, i have no idea why i'm feeling kinda jaded now. Maybe i'm just tired. Oh well, looking forward to being back in a week's time.
