english

So today in English we had a substitute. I read Lamrock's post and it got me thinking as well. What next? I'm studying so hard (LOL not really) now, and within the next year, I'll be completing my last round of secondary education before I move onto university. The idea is so daunting, terrifying even. I've never contemplated the meaning of life because I've always taken it as something God gave me. Please don't be turned off when I start talking about Catholicism LOL.

Anyway, I was thinking: after high school, I'll have three months break. Within those 3 months, I'm getting everything together, finishing my music theory, musicianship, and practical grade(s). I then plan on doing a teaching course for piano and then probably work at the convent I go to on Saturdays for piano. A sister there said out of the $22-25 per hour, I'll be able to get $15 or so. Those nuns are so nice, it makes me feel like there's hope in this world :') During that time, I'll probably be finishing my degree/masters (I don't really know the difference, but if you do, please clarify) and maintaining a career. I'm planning to diverge myself from any medical courses/careers and do a Business degree.

I mean, there are so many doctors in my family - by doctors, I mean those falling under the subset of 'medicine'. My cousin(s) from Vietnam are pharmacists, doctors, surgeons, etc. My niece in England who is apparently finishing year 12 this year, was apparently planning to do a Geography course at Cambridge, but that's beside the point. They're everywhere, over-achievers and I'm me. As plain as it sounds, I don't intend to go through something I don't like. My dad suggested dentistry and I chortled and shook my head. And then I realised he was serious. And then he realised I was too. It's ironic, because his teeth are so bad because of smoking. Hence, my 98.9+ ATAR deal (unlikely I'll achieve it due to the harsh reality of my Physics practical that I 'just' passed)

But I digress. I'll probably settle down... late 20's early 30's? I'm not so sure, and I don't really want to know now. It's probably because that's too far ahead, say 10 years give or take? I can only see myself 2-3 years from now :( Anyway, I shall be off. I need to study hard for my Parametrics topic test tomorrow and do some English and Business questions before my pillow hits my head. Goodnight!
