Every highschooler's dilemma.. I guess?

I really appreciate those people who know what they want. It's very satisfying seeing a teenager who knows that he/she wants to end up a doctor or teacher etc..

But I don't have that luxury. I'm at crossroads. I know I love the sciences and math. But really, I've know that since 1st grade anyway -_-.

So now I'm in 12th grade AND IT'S SCARY!


I really do wish that I am not the only in such a position. And from what I've seen so far at my school, there are a lot of people who still don't know what they want either.
So, I will put this blog to good cause. I will research all the different crazy domains out there and write the fruit of my research over here occasionally.

Let me first state my very "unique" situation that usually makes any victim who thinks he/she can help me make my decision  really wanna slap me and walk away.

Here's the deal.

I love the sciences! But do I really wanna be a doctor? Spend all those years in Medical school and then maybe not like it?! Plus, I don't wanna pursue Medicine just because I'm expected to! (Here in the Middle East, anyone who gets high score is a moron if he/she doesn't enter Med. I mean it's Med!)

So I thought I'd explore all the other domains out there before making the big decision that yes Medicine is the best domain for me out there.

So so far my thoughts about all the other "classical" domains that people seek over here:

Pharmacy: I know, I know.. that not all Pharmacists end up selling Medicine in a "Mini-market like" Pharmacy. I know one can enter Clinical Pharmacy or what's not. But I don't wanna end up working in a laboratory in some factory my entire life! I dunno, maybe I dunno enough about that field. But so far, not the most appealing.

Education (Generally):  no No and NO
I WILL SIMPLY NOT END UP AS A TEACHER!
I mean man do I respect an actual good teacher! It's a talent! We owe our teachers everything! Whether those within our schools, university, or even those who offer free online help.. you name it! It's such a selfless amazing job to pursue.

But. Not. For. Me.
At least not at this position. I can become a College professor maybe someday, if I really excel at my
domain, but right now, it is not my main goal to teach other people.

Engineering: Just like every girl living in the Middle East, my Dad screamed "NO!" at the thought of my becoming an engineer. (Side Note: I was only in like 6th grade when I first brought that up.) He had this long talk with me about how it is totally inconvenient for a married woman (I know right -_-) to become an engineer and work with all those workers everyday on sets and stuff. ( I didn't like the sound of that obviously :P)

So I was raised on the fact that No No to engineering.
But you know what, throughout my research on the plethora of other engineering domain other than Civil engineering, which obviously my dad was referring to, I still didn't find a domain that really captured my attention.
Most are again full of lab work and stuff. I would love a field that would allow me to interact with people outside a laboratory environment.

Of course, evidently, I did not do enough research so far to make up my mind.

So, off I go!
I will research all those crazy, bizarre fields out there!
Each and everyone in as much detail as I can!

Of course anyone of you out there, who was strong enough to continue read this far, is more than welcome to share his/her experience!

Lost... and Found

Today, I cried.... Once, while I was talking to a friend about getting a Twitter account I remember she said " Twitter is like so stupid! You basically have to tweet all you do.. like you fart, you tweet 'I farted' " Now, although I told her how wrong she was, I couldn't help myself from laughing! I mean, yeah that's what most people now do, just use the social networks in shallower and shallower ways, that those networks lose the meaning they once held "to connect people". And the first sentence in my post probably gave you the same impression. XD But for a feelingless (which by the way, I know isn't a word that exists in the dictionary, yet I believe describes me perfectly that I decided to use it. It just sounds right; I mean "unfeeling", the "right"word just sounds wrong to me! Feelingless has more emotion, you know.. so the next time they ask you where you got a word you feel comfortable using from, you tell them

It's Strength to give up

There was this girl. (There always is isn't there?  A girl, a boy, a man, woman.. there  is always someone who is suffering out there. And do we care? Do you? Do I? We don't! No one does. I might be just going though hormonal issues over here. But maybe I actually have something worthwhile to say. I don't know, and I always cared about "tweaking" my every post before publishing it, but I won't be giving this one another glance the moment I finish it. I don't care if someone out there reads it or not. I don't care if they can/ relate/ agree or whatever. I am angry. I tried to make this a cheery blog, but I 'm angry. Deal with it.  I hate those angry blogs- always called them nonsense and "too dramatic".  I guess I'm just full of crap myself now!!) There was this girl.  She was sad.  And no one cared. She wasn't a saint, not even close, but she sure as hell knew she didn't deserve what she got.  She ma

Mercantilism

Image
This time I decided I would share with you something I learned in my History class.  Mercantilism sounds like such a tough word, when all along it actually describes a very basic economic aspect. Basically, it is an economic idea which asserts that government control over foreign trade is necessary for the prosperity and security of the nation. Which means that the country basically makes sure that it exports more than it imports to make sure that it gets as much income as possible. One of the most popular examples of mercantilism would be Great Britain, which used its colonies to the full, allowing all their goods to be exported through itself and only itself. Of course, some goods were even on the "black list" of exports, like gold, for example, which Britain only imported.  This is a really nice video that explains it all... not as good as Mrs. Zunaira of course, but close enough :P So then, basically, it was a country's main way of gaining supreme p
