School...
I'm thinking about school agaiiinn. As always?
For a while now, I've just been considering trying to get into UoToronto for a masters in nutrition. But I really need to keep my options open, because really, I'm currently in no academic condition to even consider grad school. That and I'm still only in third year, haha... But I don't think I would be able to leave Toronto, or the surrounding area (since I'm not even IN TO, and won't be for another 2 years...)
I was just looking at Ryerson, which I did before, but I blew it off, because their program is Nutrition Communications, and I thought it was a lot more social based, which it is. Buuuut then I found courses on international nutrition, and I'm wondering if that would be an area that I would want to get into; combining my love for science and nutrition, and my interests in international development and health/nutrition.
I still don't know what I want to do, and just last weekend I was considering going straight into work after undergrad, and doing product development instead of grad school, and lord knows what after that. What I think would be interesting to see, would to explore involvement with NGOs or WHO for product development for the nutrition of developing countries. Now that I'm getting a taste of development with my current courses, and what my degree is actually about (go nutraceuticals!!! even though no one knows what they are!)I think this would be an interesting combination.
Then there's always my German minor. Oh my god, why are all of my interests so spread apart?!
I feel like there are so many possibilities... until I remember where my grades are at. Fuck, I just test really badly, and don't answer things the way they are meant to be answered. Which is why this product development course is so good for me. It's all I want to do, research, development, building my product... But I have two other projects (and midterms!) I really need to focus on too... Once again, I'm having to try and get myself to focus on my tasks at hand, not what isn't even upon me yet.
And despite all this confusion, once again, I have this feeling that I'm slowly and surely working my way to where I'm supposed to be, and who I'm supposed to be. And that I will actually accomplish many, many things in my life.
Whooo motivation! If only it translated to my studying of physiology. Because hormonal feedback systems will not teach themselves. But hey, at least we're doing the GI tract too, and I have more interest in that, because of it's necessity to nutrition. Interesting concept, that the GI tract is actually an exterior surface within our body. As my prof said, us monogastric animals (and really, most other mammals, birds, etc.) are basically doughnuts. With a hole right through the middle. Hahahaha...
I LOVE NUTRITION!!!
...I am also a huge nerd... yessuh.
