The Career Experiment

YAYAYAY NO BRACESS =D Came off yesterday after a year and 7 months and lookin pretty good but i want to get them whitened for the sake of whiter teeth. Why just be white when you can go whiter than white? EHHneway, went to Cabaret and OMGSH i got there running in my heels only to the sounds of stage band TUNING. Vaish ripped my bag out of my hands and i had to dash to the front with my sax only to hear that if i had been sitting in that spot like a minute earlier i probably would need plastic surgery. Cheuk said the light bulb above my head had cracked and shattered to pieces so if i was sitting there it wouldve landed on my head. And the whole 'new look' experience of no braces would come to an abrupt end cos my face woulda been cut by the pieces of glass. NOW who's to say being late is always a bad thing?

Ok in ag we were talking about what we'd like to study in uni and what the interviews would be like. I really have to plan this out. For example they may ask what was the last book you read. I have no idea what to say- i mean i cant say a classic like pride and prejudice because you probably shouldve read that sometime in high school so i have to time things perfectly. Basically i have to read a book like a week b4 the interview cos if someone asked me that i'd probably just say 'why read when theres movies?'

Also- i dont want to do medicine. First it takes far too long and say it takes you 15 years to study/establish you'll be what 33 at the least. Your career will probs only be for like 30 odd years after that so if you think about it, you have been studying for 'half' of your career. You went to school for 13 years so 28 years studying = 30 years of a career. It doesnt seem worthwhile to me. If you do  business/law or something like that, it takes 5 years for a double degree plus maybe 2/3 years for internship or just another degree. Honey, ill be making money for an extra 7 years while you'll still be nerding away at anatomy. And to those who say 'oh you didnt include time for 'building up'" well medicine also takes time to build up and get to know people. Specialists get their business from GP's that refer patients =)
I realise that if i werent at ruse id probs be a fashion journalist or actor (if i could) cos when you come here theres basically 2 options - law or med. But its good how i actually like economics and want to do something in that field. lol damn why the hell do we have to be so smart?
