I'm contemplating what I wanna do in college.. so far.. I just know that after college, the only things I can see myself doing are.. doing more computer graphic arts, designing things, doing business that involves designs... and yeah.. that only.. though I would also want to travel a lot.. just to see the world.. and get inspired.. and meet new people.
The universities that I'm eying are locally, Ateneo and De La Salle... Ateneo because of the exchange student program and the prestige of being an Atenista... because Ateneo, as everyone says.. is a HELL lot better than La Salle.. and HELL lot better really means HELL for me.. because I don't have the proper study habits to make it alive, I'm still the easy go lucky high average student... who really doesn't spend time opening books at home and doing homework at school.. except for projects that involves using the computer..
Then again... my mom says.. if I wanna go to Ateneo, the only courses I should take there are the traditional courses.. Business, Economics, Psychology and all those sh*t.. and if I really wanna pursue a computer related course, then I should go to La Salle.. of course.. when she says computer-related.. I can't really be sure if it means programming and all that jazz.... or if includes graphic arts also.. I mean, like hell this country is known for its graphic artists.. there's no good school even for animation.. where am I going to end up if I take up something that doesn't really improves me..
Jeesh.. Life is so damn full of hard choices..
But anyway.. I'm still eyeing that chance to get to Singapore.. I mean go to Secondary 5&6 in Singapore.. so that I can get a kick of how hard the other kids 3 hours away from here have it.. and what it feels like to be in a school with diverse cultures and races.. haha.. but I should not get my hopes too high.. as I'm already a Senior here.. so chances are slimmer going there.. god.. my sibling have it better.. crap, this is just one of those times that I hate being the eldest..
But anyway.. if I can't then I definitely am eyeing La Salle's or Ateneo's student exchange program... then maybe I can get a taste of studying in a foreign land.
So anyway... I'm also considering going to another to another country to study after univ here.. maybe Taiwan, or Singapore(if I can manage it!) but that's still 5 years away.. but still early planning is not so bad either.. at least I have a target.. And God knows how important Mandarin is these days.. if I wanna really succeed.. I should study it again.. (yeah.. after highschool, I don't really wanna memorize all the things that they throw at me now.. they'll be gone in a matter of a week anyway...
college,
