The first year was a little hard to digest because I was getting used to the system and the workload. But second year? I thought, first year was hard and the rest are supposed to be 'okay.' But it's really not like that at UofT huh? I guess, it does take a lot of time and effort to graduate from the world's 24th best university!
So, 6 more weeks full of assignments and tests before I write FIVE FINAL EXAMS :O
Seems like there is so much to do, and there is just no time. And while I was on the bus, instead of thinking about how I am gonna get everything done or prioritize my work, I thought about some weird things...
Like, I finish in April. Then, I have to get a job for sure this summer. I am completing a certification for a Medical Administrative Assistant at Humber for the summer plus taking two Criminology courses here at UofT. So that's 2 courses here and 7 at Humber plus a job? I guess I got a lot to consider. Then, I gotta take lessons for my G2 and pass my test by September beginning so I don't have to travel by bus anymore and waste 5 hours everyday! I could use that time for studying.. or working part time?
My mom has been pressuring me from the past days to stress on chores and learn cooking as well. She says, only being book smart is not enough. Now, you're gonna have to learn everything on your own. All of a sudden, I am burdened with responsibilities because this is my last teenage year apparently before I turn 20. Since Nani left, I've been making mom happy with cleaning the house, doing all the chores, keeping everything clean before she comes home. Now, I am supposed to learn cooking and everything else. In the brown family life, that is direction towards the fact that in a few years I'll be married off to somebody.
And I got two years left of university, what next? What if I don't get into law school? Do I have more options? I have not spoken to counsellors at UofT regarding what I wanna do. I still have to decide on one of my majors. Would I even graduate with a 3.7 GPA which is a minimum requirement for law school? The bar is raised each year and about 160 out of 3000 applicants are selected.
I always thought, I have to attend law school, by the hook or crook. I don't care if I practice law for my entire life but I atleast wanna be fulfilled with the fact that I have completed my higher education. What is a bachelor degree anyway? These days, it's just an entry level degree before you go onto something more like your Masters or P.hd. I have so much to consider. If I don't get admission in either Windsor, York, or UofT law school, I am going off to Ottawa or Calgary.
Okay, back to life. I have to STOP thinking so much and focus on what's due in the next two weeks. That is 2 major papers this week, and three major tests next week. I shouldn't even be blogging right now. But seriously, time is a mystery. I don't even know how it came to this..
Give me another chance.. I wanna grow up once again :(
