Whoa, it's been a long 4 days since I've posted something on my blog! Well, I have a reason and it's because of stupid Math Anal. Yup, you read that. Because Math Analysis is a pain. In the rectum. Also, my birthday is on Sunday, June 29 so I went shopping today (didn't really get that much stuff, oh well) and I'm pretty hyped to just spend a few hours on my back porch reading books, listening to music, and eating cheesecake. Sounds like heaven to me.
Anyway, instead of making one huge post of 4 days worth my blog challenge, I decided to split it up into two. So I'm going to talk about my Dream Job and Biggest Pet Peeve here. :)
Dream Job? & Plans of the Future
Honestly, it kind of scares me to think of the future. I'm still in highschool, going on to my sophomore year at that; and although that's not a excuse to not have any plans for the future, I have ABSOLUTELY no clue what I want to do. I feel like I'm stuck in Limbo or something...I just can't reach a compromise. It sucks because I DO know that my future career is probably going to have nothing to do with my current hobbies and what I'm interested in, aka tennis, kungfu, drawing, anime, books are a few things I'm interested in. You can't exactly make a decent living off of that. That's why I'm struggling so hard with my dreams. What are my dreams even? I don't know...I guess I would like to at least get a little famous at what I do (whether it's art or blogging or tennis or whatever.) I think everyone wants a little fame. xD With all the social media fad going on, and more and more people getting famous through the internet, other people are starting to follow in their footsteps, albeit it's harder to get noticed now.
Sorry, I'm just rambling. The only times when thoughts about my future/career cross my mind are when my parents mention it. I rather not think about it because it just jumbles my brain and I feel stressed. Which is funny because I still have 3 more years until I have to go to college but it feels like I'm quickly running out of time. There's some truth in that, I guess, 3 years does pass by quickly. I still feel like the day I entered middle school was just right around the corner.
My parents brought up the topic of getting a job in the medical field more often recently. I laughed because I thought it was rather typical because my family's Chinese, and there's a stereotype that Chinese kids aim to be a doctor, lawyer, scientist, or other professional, high-paying jobs. I never really wanted to be a doctor; apparently in my head, doctors meant surgeons. I don't know but didn't we all go through that phase as a kid?
They were talking about how being a child doctor would be good since I didn't have deal with surgeries or the stress that general doctors had to deal with. I would just do a check-up on the child, who would probably come in with a cold or a fever or something not-so-serious. Obviously, that job sounds too easy to be true, so I can only assume there's a downside to it but being a child doctor didn't sound so bad. It's not a job I would originally think of doing but it's pretty darn good. Good pay, and good environment. Who doesn't want to see children every day? I would get to meet lots of different kids and that's awesome.
So yeah, I guess my plans for after high school is college/university, and medical school. I'm not so passionate about medical science but I guess it's okay. I know, I know, I'm going to be in a dangerous position if I'm aiming to be a child doctor and I don't even have passion for it. I'm pretty sure I'll gain the passion throughout high school for it.
Plus, judging from what I've seen in the short time I've been on Earth, people don't work jobs because they like them; it's because it's what gives them the money to put food on the table.
Biggest Pet Peeve?
Something that really gets to me is when people misunderstand or just assume something without evidence. Especially about me. I really (emphasis on really) don't like it when people get the wrong idea about me. I know this because I've flipped out a few times in the past when these things happened.
I think it all started when I was in first or second grade, when I thought I was best friends with this older girl. We hung out at this afterschool program (for kids in elementary school that had late-working parents). There was a girl my age also in the program that I didn't like that much, mostly for a stupid reason and that was because everyone loved her and thought she was the cutest thing on earth. I was jealous, plain and simple.
So I did the natural thing with my 'best friend'. We talked behind the popular girl's back.
But then she betrayed me. dunDUNDUNNNNN ahaha just kidding; I'm only around 6-7 years old around this time so it's not serious but still. I had my feelings hurt.
My so-called 'best friend' stopped talking to me one day to talk to the popular girl and made it clear that she was gossiping about me to her. I realized that the whole time, she was friends with the popular girl and only teasing me. Making fun of me. Taking advantage of my feelings to mock me.
So I guess that kind of triggered my trust issue. But that's why I hated people misunderstanding me. Maybe you don't see the connection but that was the first time that other people knew my hatred for the popular girl, and I got bullied as a result. Okay, so maybe it wasn't a misunderstanding and I really did not like her but I tried to redeem myself and gain back the respect from my peers. It...didn't work out. I transferred in third grade but not specifically to get away from them. I was just accepted into a talented and gifted youth school (hell yeah, suckas.)
I also have two more stories but that would make this post really long. If you happen to be curious, I don't mind telling it. Maybe I'll tell it in a future post of mine.
Okay, well, it's nighttime now so I don't think I'll get to the Day 9&10 today but I will definitely get to it tomorrow!
Have a great day and Happy Birthday to whoever's birthday is today! :)
Also happy early burfdai to myself :3
