Right on Track

I walked to campus from my apartment today, to gauge how long a walk to class will be next semester. With no stoplights, it was 15 solid minutes of walking. Since I have a tendency to be late and a tendency to attract all things that make me late -er, next semester will be a challenge.

I met with my Psychology advisor today and found out great news. I am right on track to graduate in 4 years! My final three semesters will consist of 15, 15 and 12 credit hours. Pretty nice! Of course, I will take more because that's the way I am, but the option is still nice.

This semester, however, is going to be a challenge for me. For one, I am enrolled in 17 credit hours so far. This consists of 3 upper level Psych classes, and 1 upper level marketing class. Included in the upper level psych classes is Psych Assessment. Why on earth do I like to challenge myself? This class will require waaaaay more out of me than any class so far. GRRRREEAAT. Oh Kaila.

On the bright side, I can still obtain my goal of making magna cum laude (3.9-4.0 gpa.) That's my goal for graduation. Two 3.8 semesters, two 4.0 semesters, so far, I am at the lower end. However, the next four semesters will be 4.0s and I'll have nothing to worry about. :)

My plans after college change constantly. Since this time last year, my mind has gone in this progression:

1. Work at an advertising firm working the marketing department
2. Get my MD to become a Psychiatrist
3. Bet my Ph.D to become a psychologist specializing in eating disorders
4. Get my MBA in Marketing and work in consumer behavior

One day, I'll find where God wants me. I feel like I'm getting further from what He wants for me, but what do I know? Ideally, I would LOVE to become a psychologist, but that means the next two years of college will be the worst two years of my life. I don't want that. I've already gone through the worst year of my life, I don't want another two.

Until next time, stay classy folks.
