After a whole summer of consideration, I've decided to change my major. I currently am studying Sociology as my major with Political Science as my minor. I find Sociology too broad and too useless...to be honest. I looked at the courses I'll have to take in the next few years, and I know that I'll tolerate them since school isn't always 'fun', but I want to study something without just tolerating it for four years. I want to travel, and I as much as I love the diversity I have in Canada, I still find it too 'North American'. I want to see things at their source and actually 'do' things without doing them from behind a desk. There's so many opportunities with a career in this field without having to sit in Parliament for 50 years, listening to banter between grown people who still shout out like children in the House of Commons...as well as banging their hands on the tables. :P Yes children..one person at a time.
WhatI'm really worried about is that I might get a career with politicians and people I can't stand, so I'm not doing this to get a seat in Parliament...however that would definetely be a neat experience. I just want to get out..side.. Yeah. So..here's hoping I can do this program change as smoothly as possible before school stars. School stars in two weeks. I'm still not 100% sure with this but it seems more..right than Sociology.
So yeah...here goes. Are you all ready? I'm kinda ready. My bird might give me company though. Sadly, he is still nameless but enjoys perching in the weird plant thing my mom has that doesn't seem to ever die. Don't water for a while? No problem... Water it with hot water? Yeah it'll go into shock..but then come back.
So...anyways. Even though I'm not doing anything medical with my studies, my job at the pharmacy as well as my experience in a hospital will always leave a lasting impression on me. Those things are very important, and it's always a thrill to be working in that field. You're constantly learning, and constantly improving your preformance. As well, you're helping people, people who sometimes get lost in the shuffle of medical 'politics'. Maybe I can somehow use that in my career. Maybe. Sounds fun. Still a little scared, but it's a good scared I think.
