boo life...
Yeah... I know I have nothing to complain about really. My life is fine, but decisions really throw a wrench into things. School... impact on life... really sucks.
Right now I'm trying to pick classes for next year and I have to keep the following things in mind:
a) Marks - Need high marks if I want to get into medicine.
b) Medicine - Need high marks, and need classes that would hopefully be relevent to medicine, though that's not the biggest priority.
c) Degree - I should kind of work these classes towards a degree, even though ideally, I wouldn't have to finish a degree and would have gotten into medicine before that.
d) Montreal - I'm considering going to Montreal next school year for school and to live there, so I'd have to arrange a program as a visiting student probably (since transferring is a real bitch).
e) Time - I'd rather not have to be in class at 8:30am. I know. Poor me.
I'm considering majoring in Microbiology and Immunology, or Physiology, and possibly Anatomy and Cell Biology (which I have heard is very hard). Unfortunately though, the first year prerequisite for Physiology is Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8:30, and is a full year class, and is a lot of memorizing, which doesn't help with Time or Marks. Introductory Microbiology is Tuesday and Thursday at 8:30, and I wasnt even planning on going to school Tuesday and Thursdays. Anatomy and Cell Biology introductory courses have really bad profs apparently, so I don't really want to take those either. Quite the dilly of a pickle.
Add on the fact that I'm looking into other subjects such as Economics and Psychology, and I have a whole mix of problems. Do I even want to be a doctor? I want to be a doctor because I'm interested in the human body, as well as needless to say its a good, stable job, and I could provide for a family very well, and it also leads a straight and narrow path, so I don't have to worry about getting promoted, or whatever. On the other hand, I've always wanted to use my language and interpersonal skills, and some form of international business would allow me to do this. It wouldn't be so narrow, and there would be more choices about where to go, and the such.
So yeah... I don't know what to do for classes right now. If anyone has any suggestions, they would be greatly welcomed.
In better news, I went to Waskesiu this past weekend with Courtney, Jessica and Alison P. It was a good time. We went swimming in the lake on numerous occasions, even though it was quite cold. We also ate plenty of marshmallows, and tanned for a while, which was nice. It was just a good time to get away from the city and from everything and have no stresses of buying anything, or doing any homework or just regular everyday stresses. I definitely want to go camping or just away again by the end of the summer.
Now, to get back to looking at classes... Wish me luck!
