So lately I’ve been having second thoughts about choosing a Chemistry major. Or Honours. Whatever. In any case, it’s once again the time of year that I consider running to Arts. (Read: was completely pwned in the lab.)<\/p>\n

Ultimately, I spend waaay too much time on French. I spent several hours on my first composition, and several more on les travaux pratiques<\/i> that we had to do; in fact, that one was turning around in my head so much, I dreamt about finding a passive verb :blush: (Which wasn’t there in the end. My dreams never work out.)<\/p>\n

And for Chem I cram two days in advance.<\/p>\n

Don’t get me wrong. Chemistry is fascinating. Absolutely fascinating. I have wonderful professors who are geniunely interested in the subject. I have TAs who, by and large, do their best to help muddled students. Everything is going in my favour, in short.<\/p>\n

Except me.<\/p>\n

I procrastinate writing my Chem labs until the night before. I don’t review material daily as I should if I want to keep up and maintain an A average. I get so worked up in labs that I somehow make stupid mistakes. In short: school is becoming somewhat of a chore.<\/p>\n

And the only thing that’s keeping me going is French.<\/p>\n

Anyway, this insipid post inspired by one of those quick online quizzes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
\nYou Should Get a MD (Doctor of Medicine)<\/strong>
\n<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
<\/center>
\n
\nYou’re both compassionate and brilliant – a rare combination.
\nYou were born to be a doctor.
\n<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
What Advanced Degree Should You Get?<\/a><\/div>\n

Now, to be very honest, I’ve never wanted to be a doctor. Ever. And I wouldn’t make a very good doctor. Even when I wanted to be a psychologist, it was always in some kind of research capacity. I didn’t like the idea of being a therapist or a counsellor. Now, the impersonal face of research? That seemed fun. (Although ultimately not as much fun as blowing things up. Seriously.)<\/p>\n
