(no subject)
... Just when I was starting to feel more confident about my career decision, my dad tells me that my uncle's been talking with the University to see if anything had gone wrong when they chose the scholarship winners. When I asked him what I would do in case they do end up giving it to me as well since I didn't want to study Medicine anymore, he said that I should at least TRY to see if I liked it.
Now, the thing with that particular university is that they'll make me take three semesters of not-really-related-to-Medicine courses. This might be good and everything, as I'll have great bases for anything after that, but that will also mean I won't get to "see if I like it" until we start the actual medical/biology/chemistry studies in the fourth semester.
When I told dad that I was sure I didn't want to (it's not the studies part I'm scared of, it's the fact that I'll have to give up on a lot of things I had planned to do with my life and I hadn't considered before choosing Medicine if I become a doctor) he got really serious and said, "You should really think things through. If you want to travel and learn languages, I will pay them for you in your vacation times when we can afford it. Translators and Interpretors don't have as high status as Physicians do, you will need to live off something," and then he left.
... I've never cared about status. I just want to do what I want and have the freedom to do what I like. What really confuses me is that this is the same man that told me a few days earlier that he'd be ok with any decision I took.
Sorry to have this as an introduction post to all my new F-Listers, and I'm sorry about not shutting up about this on my last few posts with my older ones. I won't bring it up again unless it's good news. Anyways...
We've already started putting up Christmas decorations in my house! Still need to decorate the door and add some lights to the staircase, we probably won't be decorating the rooms though. We stopped doing it a few years ago for some reason (not that I mind, I got locked inside my room for several minutes once because the stocking we hung outside the door got stuck somehow on the hinges and no one else was in the house at the time. ;A;)
You can't see some of them, but we have some Santa cushions on the sofa and a cute, red, mat thing under the tree. I was going to wait until we bought this big reindeer plushie we had seen but mom and dad are taking too long to pick it up.
I really like this time of the year. There's just something about it that makes me all giddy, like the sun setting earlier and this overall Christmas-y feeling there is all around town, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is. :|a
On another note, I'm graduating next week! And yet I've done absolutely nothing to try and stay in shape until that day, ahaha (Coffee milkshakes, why must you be so good? щ(ಥДಥщ)) Went to get my eye brows waxed again yesterday, should be used to it by now, but no... it always feels like GIVING BIRTH THROUGH YOUR PORES! My legs don't hurt nowhere near as much. Already got all of the shopping part done, my prom dress will be a bit different from most other dresses others will probably have, but I can't stand being dressed in one same color. We still need to pay for some other things at school, like Toga rental and shoes (because they made the girls get new shoes while the guys could use the normal school ones. =w=)
Ah, and the day after that, it'll be "Dia de las Velitas" here too, so I'll probably have some big picspam about me and my friends acting like pyros. o/
Also decided to change my layout which I was too lazy/didn't care to do before. Still need a header or something, but I'll get to that later. It feels less cluttered.
