my future studies.

so it's been a while since i've last blogged, time to update everyone i think, because there's been a few things bothering me lately.

just today, i finished my first full day (but second session) of training for peer mediation. because today's session went for a full day after yesterday's four period session, i felt so drained. it was getting so boring, it was so repetitive. i'm worrying that uni's going to be something similar.. i mean, we pick a particular area right, then just study the subjects that relate to it? for like three years, right? won't i be bored shitless? i'm quite surprised i've never thought about it before.. i don't want to be a drop out.

through this training, i realised that something like counselling, is not the pathway i should take - even though i had a little interest in it. i mean, how boring would it be, to hear similar situations everyday, asking the same questions like, "and how does that make you feel?" and "why do you feel the way you feel?" etc. it's so boring, no offence to anyone who's interested. and there's just so much thinking involved, there's no preparation time, because you never know what to expect. it's all done on the spot. ah definately not my thing.

after the careers expo on Sunday 29th August, i decided i was going to major in marketing. it requires me to be good at analysing things, be creative and basically, know what consumers want right? or how to sell a particular item or product to the public.. at least that's what i understood from all the information and questions i had asked. but i also want to do public relations, because i think it would be very useful, and contribute to marketing. i think that's the path i want to go in, i want to have a career in advertising. maybe not the actual desiign of it, because i'm not that creative, but the work behind it. it seems fun, challenging and involves work with colleagues and the public.

oh and, it's heaps easier to get into than law. that's like very close to impossible for me. unfortunately. ):
