My posts are long and I am fickle.
My posts are long. Both time wise and length wise. I should do something about it.
So a new semester has begun. The timetable looks kind of loose. I really do hope it won't exhaust me like other previous semesters did. Nevertheless, assignments are abundant! I really should start on it but I'm really not in the mood. And lab reports are seriously a drag.
I have my last non-science elective this semester (I'm going to miss these subjects). They are the only ones that could pull up my CGPA. Culture and Communications. This could really be my second favourite non-science based subject throughout my degree! First being Public Relations I really did wanted to venture into this field when I was 16. But my scarce social skills won't get me far and I know it. Plus I had a great lecturer, Ms.Catherine (I could still remember we talked about Hong Kong dramas.LOL). As for Culture and Communications, I find it intriguing so far. I wanted to be an anthropologist once as well. So go figure. Most of my coursemates are complaining about this subject but I like it! Hence, another proof I'm in the wrong course. Like we didn't already know that right?
Having said that, two freaking assignments were given for this subject itself! I mean I could handle it but there goes my hopes of not being exhausted. Questions for the assignments were not all as interesting as I hoped for it to be. Especially the ones I got. Call it coincident but there actually was a question touching on gender inequality. A topic I really like to discuss. Sadly I did not get that question and they woouldn't change with me. Apart from that, there were also other question I'd like to discuss like language, pop culture and such. Why did I not get these? Regardless, after sulking for a few days, I've decided to take it as a challenge. If I'm ever going to write, I may not always get the topics I like right? I shall make it work!
So you may have noticed, I mentioned two ambitions in one post. To be honest, my ambitions change all the time. I have only realised that when my Molecular Biology lecturer asked us to give him our biodata (I know! What for??). In the biodata, I will have to fill in my ambitions. The first thing that popped up was journalist (and that's what I wrote). But I was thinking, my ambitions changed more frequent than it's supposed to.
When I was 7, I had ambitions like many other 7-year-olds do. I wanted to become a doctor. Lack of knowledge perhaps. I had dreams of going to Harvard and graduating to be a super rich doctor. After awhile of course I didn't want to be a doctor anymore. I was 13 then. After that, I wanted to be an architect or an interior designer. Inspiration courtesy of The Sims. I still do but not so much. Then I was 16 and I wanted to be in Public Relations. I like planning events and making them work. My friend and I planned a birthday party for my other friend in school and boy, was it awesome! The event I did for my PR subject in the university was awesome as well! I'm destined to be in PR. Then I wanted to be a Personal Assistant to a celeb. I figured, I'm ok at organizing things, so I should be a great PA right? Plus, think of all the benefits! Drool. Then I wanted to be a hotelier. I've always liked the hotel field. The smell of a hotel is just so orgasmic! I nearly got into it until my mom stopped me. Sad. Also, as I mentioned, I wanted to be an anthropologist briefly. I find the evolution of the human race, language and culture really fascinating. But with little monetary rewards, I decided to scratch this ambition. So I moved on to wanting to be a psychologist. Understanding the human behaviour can also be really interesting no? And now I want to be a writer. And so I am writing.
But if you noticed, apart from being a doctor (which was a decision made when I was 7, young and stupid, I have to stress that!) none of my other ambitions have anything to do with science. Perhaps psychology has a little. But here I am now, pursuing a degree in Biochemistry. I really hope this is a blessing in disguise whatever miracles that may happen, it will come in handy and useful. And by that I meant that it will earn me a huge large sum of dough (apart form being in the education field, science really can't earn you a dime unless you're beyond excellent).
But boy, am I fickle minded or what? Perhaps a novel should be written about it one day.
