Graduating class of 2013

Sounds kind of depressing right? Two years more than what was originally planned. Well when you add in some fucking around and not getting shit done when I was suppose to, that can factor in a lot. Plus other bullshit like being stuck in the Philippines resulting in me being dropped from all my science courses, but who’s to blame but myself correct? All the downs can’t bring me down any longer. I mean it is not like I am not going to graduate, it is just taking me a longer time than expected. Sometimes I wish my parents would understand that, but with some of my best friends already done and graduated from top schools, well better than state schools, they start to ask me quite a few questions about where I am in contrast to finishing school and going to medical school. My step dad of course has no faith in me and proclaims I will never finish since I am already behind and my mom is just hoping that I will finish soon so she can ship me off to the Philippines to do medical school there.

Don’t get me wrong, going to the Philippines for medical school is not a bad option, but of course I would like to go to the medical school I had originally planned on going to. Nonetheless, going to any medical school now is just a good option, and I am determined to get there one way or another. Now further more into graduating in 2013. At first I looked at that date as a disgrace. I hated that option and had previously wanted to take 8 science classes and 2 labs next semester just to graduate by Spring 2012. However, sitting down and really thinking about what I am going to do to myself, made me think otherwise. I mean it isn’t impossible, but I would have to quit both my jobs, which I need to pay for bills, and that would also require me to not have a social life. I am perfectly fine with not having a social life for one semester, all though I HAVE to work to pay my bills. (I am not living for free, cell phone bills, car payments, etc. Let alone I do not ask my parents to pay for any of my expenses.) So with that said, I am finally content with graduating in the Spring of 2013. I will be graduating with a major in: Cell and Molecular Biology, and Asian American Studies, and a minor in Chemistry. Not too bad for 6 years right? I am just hoping my parents feel that same way.
