My Future

Ding Dong!!!! i'm back to myself!!!! a very happy happy person now despite the not-so-pleasant weather during the weekends and today. I'm really happy. Back to the care free person I am. WeeEeEe!! Those thoughts no longer exist. It's all gone. Got it sorted. Everything's back to normal. YayYyY!! I guess Mr.Sun burnt it all on friday.

Friday was a darn good day. wanted to skip sports and society since we were having a guest lecturer. Plus, the sun was out, it was such a nice day and people were skipping class to go to the beach. Tempting!! But no, I stayed for the lecture. It was actually a darn good one and I'm so glad for it. Really an eye-opener. Made me actually think of my future. It was kinda depressing throughout the whole lecture. I mean... what's not depressing about seeing this in the lecture notes:

The kind of jobs that you can have with a sports science degree include:
x Sorry, there are no jobs for people with an SES degree.

Ermm..hello? i'm in my second semester and now you're telling me this?
He was just being funny I guess. But, it's quite true if you come to think about it. You graduate after 3 years, what are you going to do next? If you do your honours, masters, phd, your GPA matters but it all comes down to how well the lecturers know you and how much they like you. Coz you are the ones they're working with. If your GPA is like half a point higher than the other person but the other person is more well-known to the lecturers, obviously the lecturer will take them instead of you. The point is, you have to start networking! Really good tips.

Also made me think whether is this what I really want? To work in the uni, lecturing and researching just to be called Dr.Chan? Study for like 7 years and end up doing research and lecturing? Yes, my first year then already thinking of phd. You must be thinking what the heck is she thinking? So young already think so far...... It's a childish reason I should say. Here's my childish story: When i was young, i wanted to be a millionaire and get called Dr.Chan. Then later on, I realized I'm not interested in commerce. I cried when studying for my econs ok!!! I was more into the science part. Do science, confirm no more millionaire lar... to be millionaire, you need to do business. So, I shall keep my other half of my dream- to get a DR. title. First, was dentistry. Fastest way to get that title. But, chances very low looking at my intelligence score. So, biomed since it's sounds flash and smart. But, I'm not interested in it, and if i'm not interested in it, then i won't have motivation to do a phd. So, I settled with sports science and and hope to get my phd.

But now......... i've been thinking so much lately. My mind wasn't at ease most of the time. Especially this semester. It was till Friday that I actually made some rational thoughts. But, still not sure yet larr.. time will tell.
Current plan:
finish my degree then go to AUT and do physiotherapy(so glad that my parents are happy with my decision, they said i've finally grown up..haha!). Apparently I can cross credit some of my papers and instead of 4 years, I can cut it down to 2 years(gotta go over to AUT one day and enquire). So that's like 2 degrees in 5 years. Plus, physiotherapy seems more stable. You actually can get a job when you graduate. As for SES, you're not really sure if you can get a job. And yea, now earning money is more important than getting that DR. title to me. Doesn't matter if I can't be a millionaire, I just want to feel happy and safe. Plus, there's more job opportunities for a physiotherapist than a student with a SES degree. Plus, as time goes by, physiotherapy might be more well known in malaysia hence I can go back and get a job there in the future. Yes. I do think pretty far when I think. So yea, this is my current plan. So glad I actually can finally stop thinking about this at the moment. Man, nearly this whole year, it has been bothering me. *lets out great sigh of relief* Right now, there's nothing to worry about anymore. So damn Happy!!!

ohh yeaa...on Sunday, I realized something....
