Talking with Mom.
I had a nice little chat with my mother earlier today. I love my mother. Especially now that things are better between us. She even helped me look for pins to hang up my Rino poster. ♥ She doesn't quite understand my footie obsession, but I think that she's learning to accept it.
Oh mommy, how I love thee.
We were talking about my future again. She ( Read more... )

WOAH. You know am in the same boat as you when it comes to my subject of choice and family background. Every one of my my uncles (father's brothers) is involved in the science and technology field. One teaches at the Uni. Of Colorado (has a Ph.D), one is involved in medicine and pharmaceutical shiz (Ph.D as well), one works for Bell Canada (travels a lot, draws up blue prints) and the other is in Agriculture. No one has any involvement in the arts, especially not FINE ARTS. So like my father, am a black sheep...drowning in my own passion and inability to do the money-making thing, cuz this suffering-artist thing has taken over since I was 13. LOLZ. But hey, just because your parents don't have any experience in scinece does not mean YOU can't do it. You have counsellors, and teachers and tons of people out there...yes?
I like how you want to travel. Always good to hear. I can't imagine you stuck in an office doing notary work. I can't imagine you sitting in an office doing ANY work. XD
One thing you must remember is that YOU will change. Your interest will change and you STRENGHTS will change too. You might not feel like your the most business-savvy person on earth but what if you end up being brilliant at it a few years down the road? You won't know at 18, hun. I used to think I knew what my weakness were, but I've suprised myself many times by overcoming them. Your mum's right though, you should play to your strengths. For now.
I'll probably do a combined/personalized degree (hello Arts&Sciences) with a major in something bussiness/political-related and minors in languages and science.
*wraps brain around what you just said* You said your good at Economics too yes? And how good are you in English? Do you have any interest in pursuing literature or journalism? Hey, maybe you can become a Business/Economics reporter! You wouldn't have to bargain with anyone! Have your own coloumn in the papers, travel the world to learn and experienece the various Economics issues! You'll have to take philoshy too! Okay, okay...just a thought. I should prolly shuttup before I screw with your plans. I can't help it if am a big advocate for the literary field. :D
Hm...McGill is a fantastc place to study and you can stay close to home this way. I shouldn't think ahead either, but I guess you will have a verdict for us before the end of the summer. I'm getting excited for you because your about to go on a new journey with your studies. Hee!
God played against Catania today. I didn't see the game, but we drew 1-1. Have secured 4th place and all that important bizness. God's knee form not looking so good apparently, was subbed out in the 64th. Keeping fingers, toes, eyelashes and even the gum in my mouth crossed that he'll make it to the finals.

Wow, if only I'd been born in your family... Okay, maybe not. I know that some people can do it, I know that I could do good in science, but I'd have to work even harder than others, since they're not my best subjects. It's cool that you have your dad to keep you company as black sheep. What does he do?
Well, actually office work has always appealed to me. The routine, the hierachy (I'm a masochist that way), the discipline...But I'd like to have a moveable office and be able to take my cubicle with me wherever I go.
I know that I will change, and so will my interests and strengths. But even then, it's rather obvious to me that even though I can develop new ones, it'll be so much easier for me to work on the ones I already have, instead of trying to transform my weaker points into strengths. I know it sounds rather lazy, but hell, I'm not THAT hard-working or determined. Why make things harder for myself by working in a field I feel weak in, rather than one where I already have more assets than most?
Sorry to disappoint, but literature and me just don't mix. I love it, but I'm not great at writing. I'm way better at correcting other people's essays. I'm creative, but not creative enough for that. And I like philosophy: so very structured and logical. Allows me to think in stratas, which I always like to do. Journalism is too...unstable and unpredictable for me. Oh Paolo, I *AM* picky...
Yeah, well if the Law thing comes through, I guess that I'll be staying put in Montreal. And to say that I was getting used to the idea of moving to Toronto! New town, new people, new opportunities...I really wanted that. I want to come over and bunk with you! (Not that way...unless you're interested. *wiggles eyebrows*)
PAOLO HAS HIS OWN MUSIC MIX??????
So that's where all those hot pics of him in khaki come from. GAH.

Staying in Mont. may not be so bad. I know how much you wanted the experience of a new city, but everything happens for a reason. Maybe this is not your time to move-out. (You can bunk with me ANYTIME. We'll have to close the door so mum won't freak. *waggles eyebrows back*)
*builds you a portable cubicle*
I REFUSE TO BELEIVE IN GOD'S SO CALLED 'TASTE' IN MUSIC. OKAY. HE'S LYING. IT'S A MALDINI CLONE. A MALDINI CLONE THAT LISTENS TO CHRISTINA AGUILERA. But I have the same playlist as God. He's built himself a reputation now. I know it's just a marketing thing for SY, but how can Paolo myself and other teenagers listen to that stuff? Atleast there's some Oasis and John Mayor on there, so called 'adult' music, thus I forgive him. XDD I mean how can you be mad at this man? <3 *cuddles the floppy hairz* *cuddles the little moose on his shirt* OMG REPPIN CANADA.

Haha, if only our mothers knew!
*puts on Dilbert costume...NOT* A guy did dress up as him for Halloween though. We also had a Superman-disguised-as-Clark-Kent, the David, two Brokeback Mountain cowboys...and oh yeah, element #42 Molibdinium. (I've told you this already, haven't I?)
Lol, Oasis! Noel Gallagher, hahahah. I still don't believe his story. Paolo would not be that easily swayed!
I don't know what to think of the music. I mean....heh, WTF???!!! Xtina.... *headdesk* ...
Awwwwwwwwwwwwww that pic! ♥
(Stop killing me. I've been squeeing and going crazy half the weekend. I think I'm dying, aaaaaahh...)
