Thought this was sorted? Me too.
But again, with the UCAS deadlines drawing nearer, this dilemma rears its ugly head.
Here's the problem:
I WANT to do Classics.
I feel I OUGHT to do medicine.
I WANT to do Classics, because I LOFF IT, so much, I'm truly passionate about it, if it were a man it would be my version of Gee. I know more about it than my teachers, it's my favourite subject, and I actually look forward to the homework. Seriously. And when I was just looking at the website, I nearly cried, it looked so BRILLIANT.
But I was sad because, if I want to do Classics at Oxford, I have to change my application in TEN DAYS.
TEN DAYS to convince everyone that, yes, I want to do Classics, yes, it was a bit of a sudden change, no, I'm not absolutely certain, I only realized yesterday you dumbass! Geex...
I'd also have to convince Mrs Brentnall that I wanted to do classics instead of medicine. I think she'd go into denial.
BUT... the problem is, I'm not entirely sure that I DON'T want to do medicine. I mean, I'd love the caring aspect of the role, and I think I'd be quite good at it.
What concerns me is:
a) I'm not tough enough.
b) Paperwork - AAAAAARGH.
c) The patients would hate me.
d) I'd hate them back.
e) I'd kill someone.
f) Getting sued.
g) The fact that there are THOUSANDS of people who can do medicine - you can see by how many people apply - but hardly anyone as passionate about classics as me.
I know what I want to do. It's just... I'm scared.
Advice would be appreciated. And by appreciated, I mean OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH *tackle glomp hug*
