First Choice


When I filled out the UPCAT form way back in high school, my first choice was BS Math ComSci. Math because I'm not good at it but I can survive it. ComSci because it was at that time that I started to get hook to the wonders of internet and thought it's cool.

But college enrolment time came, I changed my mind and got myself into BM instead, the most sold out course in UP Cebu. Because I realized ComSci is not my thing as I was so bad with computer subject in high school. I think 4th year, we had Clipper and all I can remember now is Van Patiluna. Why BM? Because most of my highschool classmates/friends were there. Anyhow, I shifted to Psychology in 2nd year or 2nd sem 1st year because I felt BM is too crowded. Yay, my bases for my decisions were shallow. =(

Mark was Math ComSci then shifted to ComSci because he failed 'higher' math. Then, he dropped out.

Lesson of the story is my first choice was Math ComSci and Mark was Math ComSci. Math ComSci was really meant for me after all. =) I just hope he won't drop out from me.

How about you, what's your first choices?

yeah...u shud have followed ur first choice...weird lang imo analogy about ur hubby dropping you...i don't think he will k you're one of a kind. =)
...i had the same reason as you for chosing BM...my friends were taking it...=) i feel it wasn't such a bad decision though but i would have loved to be an engineer today...anyways, too late na k i don't feel like studying again...hehe...

my first choice?? computer engineering but that sounded so weird for aubrey.. so i ended up taking accountancy which is what i liked... .... at first but i can't sleep thinking of balancing millions and millions of money which isn't mine and the idea of having a .05 cents difference from the debit credit column totally sucked.. so i had to shift to business admin which i really loved coz i got like a 1.4 grade in my thesis :p

even until now i still don't know what i really want to do or to be. i've given up. now, i do what i need to so i can continue to be whatever it is that i am supposed to be. it's a less complicated life. unless i really think about it. thank God i don't do much of that. thinking, that is. :) and as far as your hubby is concerned, love him until you are dry. that way, if he does drop out, you won't have as many what ifs. :)

my first choice really was to be a drifter and follow my wanderlust, but dismayed, i found out that course was not offered.

my first choice was not to go to college at all..hahaha...drove my mom crazy, she took me shopping to convince me that college is a good idea. =P
got into biology first...after the 1st sem i knew i wont survive....i dont seem to have the head when it comes to memorizing the body parts and muscles of a frog..then i met miss k, rose...what can i say she made me fall in love with the inner workings of the human psyche....and then there was miss g and sir mike...and the rest as they say is history..=P

psychology has always been my first choice.. ;) with the false notion that when i get to learn so much about the human psyche i can get to read minds, but end up learning that we just study them instead. hehe but all is well, i have learned so much.
oh yah rosee, i saw sir mike diay sa marco polo.. heheh ;) tawa ko kay ana cya after our batch kuno di na cya karemember sa names sa iyang students.. ;) hehehe was glad he still remembered my name.. =p

Biomolecular technology and biotechnology. Then, I realized that even though my UPCAT scores qualified me for math and science geekhood, I wanted to ungeek a little. Hahaha. Isn't it fascinating how lives could change over something as seemingly trivial as the boxes you check?
