THOUGHTS!!!
I was laughed at today. I told my fellow labmates I have a rough exterior and they laughed at me. I don't think it's funny...I know for a fact that I can come off as cold. In fact a certain classmate of mine has finally gotten the message I've been trying to send and no longer sits next to me. But in that case I was trying to be cold, but I know even when I'm not, people feel that way sometimes.
I also tried to explain that when you go to an interview for med school or anything really that you're basically bs-ing. But they didn't seem to understand that either. For example when the podiatry people ask me why I want to be a podiatrist I can't very well say that it's not very practical for me to do something creative as a career, both because I'm not that good at it and it doesn't pay the bills. And I don't hate science and somewhere in the little road to my life I got it in my head that I should be a doctor of some sort...don't really know why, maybe it has something to do with my parents(they did practically have an intervention when I decided I wanted to be a physician's assistant instead of a physician). And podiatry involves a very specific area of the body so I feel less intimidated approaching it...plus the requirements for actually getting into podiatry school are less demanding than for other med schools. And the pay is nice and the hours are more flexible and I'm intrigued by what other people find gross.
Something tells me that answer is not gonna fly over well with the panel. So yeah. When you go to an interview you're not necessarily lying...but you're embellishing the truth to varying degrees depending on the person (a lot in my case).
I also don't know if I should graduate a semester early. I'm not even sure if I like the idea of graduating before I turn 21. Even if I will turn 21 right after the graduation (which I have no intention of going to). Would I get a real job for 3-4 months until the summertime comes and I go to Europe (or whatever the hell I'll do so I can live before I reach a dead zone period in my life)? I'm not sure I like the idea of actually being eligible to have a real job. Like a full time, you need a bachelor's to do this job. I'm too young for that, people look at me and think I'm 15. When am I going to buy my electric guitar? Why is EVERYBODY getting married? I have a feeling me life will be highly lonely when I'm done with college. These are the burning thoughts in my mind. And this is why our country is hopped up on pills! I wouldn't be surprised if I reach a certain age and snap and allow all sorts of addictions to consume me. This is why it's not good to be alone with your thoughts.
