Gahh I am so tired right now. Four days into holidays and I am not in exam mode anymore (which is awesome), but I am not in holiday mode yet either. Let's just say I am in limbo.
I haven't done too much these days. I went out last night to AXP (after exams party) and that was pretty fun. But I am now exhausted, didn't get too much sleep last night (or this morning I should say). I did go back to uni to get some advice on which majors and minors to undertake in the remaining years of my course. It is all so scary. I know it's just a backup option in case I don't get into Veterinary Science, or I simply change my mind. But it's still very scary. I am literally planning what career I shall undertake for the rest of my life. Hehe it sounds so dramatic. WELL IT IS.
I have narrowed it down to two main things. Major in Developmental Biology or major in Genetics. Developmental biology seems really cool because you learn about the development of humans from an embryo to an adult, as long as defects and birth complications, and you also go into tissue engineering and things like that. But like with everything, it seems good written on paper, but it may not be like that in real life. So I emailed the head of the department asking what kinds of career paths graduates usually choose, and most of them are research scientists. You know, like writing journals and things. Now, that seems so cool because you're contributing to the world by doing this, but it's just not my cup of tea. Not too fond of going in the research field. I want a applied job.
So I researched genetics, and what you learn is pretty self explanatory; genetics. Genes and stuff. I have always been into genetics, i do find it fascinating. And there are much more career paths to choose from if you major in genetics. One that I have a keen eye for is going into forensic science. That would be an awesome job to have I think. So at this rate I am leaning towards majoring in Genetics.
Also, the way I have planned out my units for next year, I can also have the option of majoring in Biochemistry. And I know a lot of people choose to major in this because there are plenty of career options. But I really, really hate chemistry, Love bio though. But my hate for chem might just overpower the love for bio. Oh well, either way I am going to minor if it, and who knows? I might actually like it. So it's good to know I have the option of majoring in it if I want to.
Wow, this post has been interesting (not really, i was being sarcastic). But I will be going into one of these fields for the rest of my life. It's exciting but scary at the same time ahhhh. I am going to enrol tomorrow eeeepp!
In other news, my favourite band came out with a new video for their single "Playing God" and I think everyone should watch it till the very end because the expressions on the guys' faces in priceless (especially Taylor's). And there are a few Lady Gaga references in there (Cause Hayley is a hug fan) and also a few clever references to past Paramore songs. I do quite like Playing God. It has some awesome lyrics I think; "If God's the game that you're playing, well we must get more acquainted. Because it has to be so lonely; to be the only one who's Holy." or "Next time you point a finger, I'll point you to the mirror".
Well those are some of my favourite lyrics from the song haha. Okay I have made this post long enough so I shall go and sleep now.
