For the past few days i had been considering whether i should study medicine in Glasgow. I am offered a place in the universiy of glasgow, which means i have to make a decision to confirm the place.
I dunno if i should study medicine. First, it's very expensive.. the total cost for 5 yrs of tuition fees is S$300,000.. so if i decide to study, i must must pass the course, get the degree, and den be a doctor and earn back the money. And to pass the course, i have to work extremely extremely hard.. i admit that i am not smart and bright, i am just hardworking.. and i have to put in much more effort den the rest to compensate my 'not so smart' disability. so, it means that i will be under a lot of stress and have to work very hard.. and i am not sure if i can handle it.. but in any case if i decide to study medicine, i must handle the stress even if i cannot.. it's a large sum of money and i wont wanna disappoint my parents and waste their hard- earned money..
Another option is to study pharmacy/ nutrition and dietetics in Australia. It is less expensive there and thus less stressful for me. Not that I can drop out halfway, but the course mayb easier and the chances of failing is lower.. I have already applied to several universities and waiting for them to give offers.. However, there is a problem.. the semester only starts in FEB which means that i have to wait for another half a yr.. and they may not offer any place before october.. so there is a risk, a small one though, that i may end up nowhere if i were not offered any place from Australia.. Plus that my dad doesnt encourage me to study any course except medicine.. He thinks that studying pharmacy and dietetics is not worth his investment.. hmmm. i understand his point.. but i think that studying what i want is the most important.
I seriously have to know what i want to study. i am confused~ many factors to consider, any course has its pros and cons and the main problem is i dunno want i want!
But i know that if i want to study medicne, it will be in glasgow and not anywhere else.. coz my sister is there studying and it provides a guranteed internship.. it is the only uni that provides a guranteed internship out of the many universities i applied. yupp, and that is very important according to my dad.
If i want to study pharmacy, it will be in Australia and not Ireland. Australia is much much cheaper and i dun think my dad is gonna take out more money to let me study in ireland..
Hmmm. will have to consider carefully and wisely.. my future is in my own hands! and i can say this is my first time deciding on study matters.. From choosing sec sch and jc to choosing the subjects to stud in jc, it is all decided by my sisters.. i have no say.. and yet this time, i have to decide for my own future.. hmmm. will have a difficut time.. but i will make a decision soon.. =)
