Not getting into UP is such a bummer. I'm starting to think what I said during the interview that they hated. Maybe because of my dual citizenship? Or I wasn't eloquent enough.
I hate it when people become excited for you and keep your hopes up, because then you'd also have that hype. Then you find out in the end that it just didn't work out. Well things always DON'T work out for me, so I might as well just have to get used to this.
Well my UP-or-bUST plan has resurfaced. Sorry pero ma-pride, I just don't want to go into UST. But unfortunately...
And this just made me think more if I really want to go into medicine or not. After spending time off in Dagupan with some friends, I decided that I wanted to have a life that I could really have the balance of personal time and work time, of rest / vacation time and work time.
I'm scared of making a final decision about what I really am going to go for. Where will I really find my place???
It's either medicine, with all the years of studying, all the years of reading, sleepless nights, and a whole life ahead of re-learning and re-reading, and being on-call a lot.. But it seems fulfilling, exciting, and who could forget the prestige?
Or going corporate, taking up what I've always been thinking of in the back of my mind - actuarial science. It is psych + math, which works for me, but I'm not sure if I really could comprehend all those numbers. And there are 10 tests to go through to become certified! I just hope I don't become an office bum - something I promised myself I wouldn't be. But you can actually control your schedule.
Ho hum.
I have about 2 months left to figure it out, I guess..
Before I enroll in UST
Or before I take the MCAT
Or before I enroll for another major
Or before I apply for some job.
Kill me now.
