careers & debates

double jap, double bio & double english today :)

missed first chunk of jap to have my careers councelling thingo....it was pretty good actually, i'm interested in psychologist, graphics designer, tv/film producer, geneticist and photographer. looked into the process to get to my possible future career paths etc...i'm still mostly interested in psychology, its a long process unfortunately :( 3 years uni (bachelor of arts/science/health science/social science majoring in psychology - so lots of choices :D), 1 year honours degree and 2 years post graduate....so 6 years before i can register as a professional >_< genetics is pretty much the same but you can only do bachelor of science majoring in genetics. all the others were the same, bachelor of arts majoring in whatever + folio

so whatever i pick i basically have to do english, methods and chem for VCE which is fine cause i was planning on it anyway :) im pissed at the fact that i can't do two 3/4 subjects next year...its gonna be a hassle to leave either music or methods hanging for a year =___= will hope for a miracle that mrs k will let me do two grr

started bio today too, bleh. the teacher sucks already i reckon.

the best thing that happened was the battle of the sexes debate at lunch hahahhaa. topic was "Women are the more attractive sex" and the girls had to debate that guys were hotter and the guys had to debate girls were hotter x] soo funny

"because guys have such an erect *cough* posture"

the girls won the debate which was great cause...we won :D but its great for the guys too though, since we're saying they're hotter :)

and thats all folks. failing maths with nerd support from viv right now, toodles.

haha thats a pretty cool debate topic :) and psychology ..is not such a bad subject (: - learning about behaviour, thoughts ..etc :] its actually quite interesting. Like right now, we're studying about "The Stanford Prison Experiment" where a bunch of participants were either "guards" or "prisoners" and they observed how status/power can change people's behaviours blabla .. and LOL, the psychologist course doesn't seem as long as ..the one i'm going to be choosing : Medicine - Neuro ?@_@" hahaha.

First of all, thanks for accompanying me today, even though the accompanying was more or less curtailed lol :)

That said, I feel empathetically shit on behalf of the people that want to do two 3/4 subjects next year. I don't see how it should be "illegal" on the proviso that the 1/2s were to be completed in Year 10. If they didn't bloody want us to do two 3/4s then they shouldn't have offered two 1/2s in the first place, borderline hypocrites.

Glad you enjoyed your careers interview. Your careers sound tres interesting; unfortunately I'll be on the path to bankruptcy given that I want to be a French teacher ... that or interpreting, which could earn me a fair bit if I did a decent job.

have a nice day
