10 year plan (Tuesday, May 25, 2010 / 2:14 AM)
at my workplace now,watching someone opposite me get having a lovely conversation with her boss :)
not 100% happy but at last my life
GOT FUTURE.
For the next ten years of my life
4 years LLB (hons)
1 year Bar Exam
5 years of working in a normal law firm.in entertainment law/criminal law/maritime law/aviation law/international law/icantdecidebecauseineverexpectedtogetin law.
RETIRE AT 30.
travel the world and do charity work for a year,get married( OR NOT HAHA),buy flat.
I hope i can squeeze in a part time degree in animation/character design so i can get in touch with my drawing stuff.in any case if i dont i shall do it when i retire at 30.
become a legal consult/animator for a animation company such as scrawl studios ( like the only one in sg which is half decent).which means i must make more animator friends because i need flexibility if i want to combine my expertise with my interest.
u can see where i am coming from the entertainment law interest because entertainment law would gain me contacts and experience in the media industry while still staying comfortably within the legal zone.( im not too good with dealing with difficult people or blurry lines haha).
law wise i think it is not worth it to take degree in both law and life sciences why stress myself so much.maybe a minor in life sciences would be more tolerable but not matching.i think to accomodate my future career,if i could squeeze in a minor it would be in communications( think animation and drawing related stuff) and sth sciency to balance out my bio withdrawalism( i would still kind of miss science,bio is the reason why i came to nyjc even though i was never very good at biology).I would like forensic science but it is really popular and just not feasible.
so there goes my ten year plan i cant wait to start.of course if NUS law suddenly does not want me *horrors!*,i get accepted into a Japanese Scholarship for dentistry( haha mr neo forwarded a scholarship for japan around,if i went overseas to a foreign language country to study it would be for dentistry rather than medicine cos med is 7 years -.- then why didnt i put dentistry as second choice instead of law? well dentistry is just not feasible,no point wasting my choices and taking such a big risk.law is more of smoking skills which i am better at so generally i had more confidence of passing the law interview than the medicine.but then this is a pointless paragraph as im highly unlikely to apply for the scholarship or accept it as i have to learn everything in japanese!argh!) or NUS med has a positive reply towards my appeal.UK university options are still open though.
NUS law honestly,for me,just fell into my lap.i got really nice interviewers who didnt purposely try to intimidate me or ask any loop the loop questions.the essay,although hard and in a foreign format ( like more of critical thinking skills,ten times harder than GP) was on BIOLOGY,ecological concerns the like so biology students would have a bigger advantage imo.In contrast with the medicine interview,this is really much more of a breeze to me.I dont know if i really deserve it,because i dont know if i want it in the first place.
still being chosen out of the 800 students shortlisted,all brilliant,all eloquent,all intelligent,all with better CCA records,it is really like wow,you know.i guess all that talking nonsense really paid off! :)Although i do expect to face a lot of competition haha.
i heard from a teacher( a really bald one) that the frequency of NYJC-ians going to law is even lower than that of med.but looking at the caliber of Arts students in NY ( sorry lah,but the results are undeniable,science students totally pwn arts.perhaps besides econs where there are a substantial number of mugger science students )
I have mixed feelings towards my choices.Inevitable,i think i already knew deep down what the result would be like.but i would still be hoping for the best,of course.for a miracle that would never happen.well,welcome to reality,when you screw up.you really do screw up,but that doesnt mean it is the end of life for you.
