...finally.
things may just work out in this cracked-out experience that is my life.
i just had an appointment with my microbiology & molecular genetics advisor. he basically told me what i've been wanting to hear that all my other advisors haven't been telling me: i don't have to know EXACTLY what i want to do with my life RIGHT NOW. another plus was that he told me a microbiology degree is like engineering in that there's lots of jobs available for those with only a bachelor's degree, but that's not the point i'm trying to make.
lately i don't know what i want to do anymore. i don't know if i want to research all my life, i don't know if i want to go to med school, all i know is that i have somewhat of an interest in microbiology. and that i like to dance. (haha and dancing is taking up a lot of my time but our performance on the 26th is gonna be SICKK.) but it seems like i'm getting a fresh start after talking to this advisor. he got me on track for what i need to be taking in the future for micro, told me that the degree is pretty much gonna prepare me for both med school and grad school, whichever i choose, and he's gonna set me up with a new mentor of my choosing. spring is in the air, and possibilities abound.
i'm in BPS right now (the biomedical & physical sciences building) and i haven't had a class in here yet, but i've been here before, and the microbiology department is housed here, and i'll have lots of classes here next year... it feels like home. in this building, i know that science is right for me. it's comforting. i see my future self here, researching and going to classes and studying and learning and growing. aaahhhh love ittt. this is what i came to college for.
i just caught the clock at 11:11 for the first time in a LONG time. does that mean it's meant to be?
::sigh:: i'm so glad to have more focus in life these days. Lord knows i need it.
...and it's so beautiful outside!! =DD
