Today was the REAL judgment day. I had to confirm on what course/majors I want to get into. I spent the whole day thinking. Honestly, I kinda looked stupid and annoying because I kept asking people on their opinion to as what course I should take but as they always tell me it's up to me. For one whole day, I was torn between Integrated Marketing Communication and Political Economy. Both courses are my interests. I've always wanted Integrated Marketing Communication or also known was IMC. I practically don;t know why I want the said course. You know the feeling that you just can't explain why you want that something? That's exactly what I feel for IMC making me doubt it because maybe I let my emotions rule over reason. Now for Political Economy or Poleco. I want this course because of its wide range of job opportunities and the subjects in the course. I have always appreciated subjects relating to Politics. As a matter of fact, I enjoy my present Philippine Politics and Governance subject with Mr. Tillah. However, amidst the good job opportunities, there's this a part of me hesitant to take it. Actually, in both courses, there are a lot of things that crosses my mind. This day really drove me nuts. I practically thought about it all week or so. I asked God for a sign but then there wasn't any that I can remember. After talking to higher levels and asking them about their opinion on the courses, they helped me decide on what course to take. So much thanks to Albert Go for making me understand what is more practical to major on. At the end of the day, after all the hassles and complicated opinions, I came with a decision not because my friends told me to do so but my own. I chose IMC mainly because it was what I really wanted from the start and it's more inclined to the business field which I wanted as well. Though, I know I chose what I wanted, there are just some fears that crosses my mind. What if I didn't make the right choice? What if I can't excel in the course I took? What if it was not what God wanted me to do? But then at the end of everything, this is all what if's...Like what my guidance counselor told me, don't let fears take over what you want. Face it with courage and confidence that honestly I don't possess. I think this I have to develop in the next few years. So next problem, how to develop self-esteem.

Today, March 9, 2007, I am officially declaring my course: Integrated Marketing Communication. I just hope I made the right choice.
