decisions!
 
i still dont know what i want to do in university. i was certain last year, almost certain at the start of this year, and entirely unsure again. ive narrowed it down to four majors -> medicine, veterinary science (holding on to my idealism of wildlife conservation no less), psychology, and music.
 
i know i would love working with animals more than with people, but honestly with a vet science degree there isnt much you CAN do in mainland taiwan, but to work in abattoirs and slaughterhouses - QUITE the opposite of what i wish to do. with a medical degree though, there are more options. i can be the wildlife conservation doctor. hmm. if that made any sense. i want to work in the oncology department. there are too many people dying from cancer. i only hope that i can help. as for music? enjoyment. pure and simple. it would be lovely to earn a living by doing what you love. but, problem is, i dont think im skilled enough.
 
ah... decisions, decisions. :)
 
on a lighter note, there was much development in gym today - > i learnt a cool trick on the trampoline... piked half-turn? something like that. it took only half an hour and was simply awesome :) i had no idea that tramp-ing was so tiring tho, felt my legs were reduced to mush halfway through. think i used too much force too, cuz right now i have lacerations on my ankle and red, angry bruise-like thingies on my hands and (shh) bum. =/ still, i look forward to next week, where bev will impart more knowledge! heh heh :P
 
injury recovering bit by bit... still cant quite do a cartwheel without my leg feeling like its being torn apart but im SO much better off than i was next week. perhaps yoga helped lol. front handspring coming along nicely too! i had a horrible problem of tucking in my head, but after front limbers today, the problem's gone :) did a few myself but really need to find the consistency... haha im so psyched right now. its like, i wouldnt mind training 5 days a week (next year perhaps? heh)  what can i say? im just so in love with this sport!

my inkblot test results

Victoria, your subconscious mind is driven most by Curiosity

This means you are full of questions about life, people, and the potential of your future. You spend more time than others envisioning the possibilities of your life — things that others are too afraid to consider.

Your curiosity burns with an almost physical need to know and do more. It's only through new experiences that you feel a greater understanding of yourself or the world — which ultimately is the greatest way for you to feel satisfied.

It is possible that the underlying reason for your drive towards curiosity is a deeply rooted fear of boredom. That means that you are probably more susceptible than others to feel like you're falling into a rut when life slows down into a comfortable routine.

You need to make sure you have stimulation in your life — that makes you feel like you're innovating or being exposed to the ideas and experiences that truly inspire you.

With such a strong orientation towards curiosity, you're also prone to a rebellious quality that shows up when you feel you are just going through the motions, and are unable to really influence the world around you. But interestingly enough, your drive towards novel experiences also indicates an openness others don't have, but wish they did.

Unconsciously, your curiosity presses you to learn more, experience more, and get the most out of life.

Though your unconscious mind is driven most strongly by Curiosity, there is much more to who you are at your core.

prom

prom. its all that people are talking about now - what to wear, where to get hair and makeup done, who to invite. i feel out of it somehow. i used to love the idea of prom, but not now, not this year. its almost as if prom has lost its sparkle, what with the cheesy awards and the 80 buck admission fee. yeah i know i shouldnt be complaining cuz after all its the Ritz. but i dont really like ritz carlton? just something about the place that puts me off. ugh. wolf-berries and snow fish prolly had something to do with that. not to mention the 9.90 glass of OJ. oh who am i kidding? im a cheapass :)

there's this other thing tho - somehow dont think its going to be fun this year. i know, fun is what you make of it.. but still. and im not even excited about the photo-taking.. =/ recluse. recluse.

i think i should stop being so negative. i think im having PMS.
