What to do, what to do...

So last Friday I did some more observation hours for Radiography. There were three other students there who were already in the program at school. They invited me into one of the lab rooms to watch while they practiced with positioning and such. After about 10 minutes of watching them I thought "I don't know if I'm going to like this..." The day was busy compared to the first day I observed there. And most of all the patients were over 75 years old..and in wheelchairs..or on stretchers.. I watched as the students helped a woman back on a stretcher, her urine bag flapping all around. Then I went to the ER  and watched as they got a knee X-ray on a very old man. He couldn't talk or move and looked rather disgusting. After I finished my hours, I decided I definitely do not want to do this. I just can't work in a hospital. I always said to myself that I did not want a job in the medical field. I think I just started to feel like that's the only job I'd be able to get.

Now I'm leaning towards either Paralegal or Business Administration. I always wanted an office job, so I think I would really enjoy it. I still have alot of thinking to do about it and I don't want to rush into anything so I'm just gonna take it easy for now. I dropped my Biology class today. It was a difficult decision to make, but I think I made the best one. I think since I no longer need Biology I would lose all interest and focus and do poorly in it. This way I'll be able to work more hours and try to say up more money. Next semester, I'll only be taking one class and maybe I'll know by then what I want to do.

For now I will spend my time being angry about English yet enjoying the fall! This week we're going to the Biltmore house! Yay!!!

I thought I knew what I wanted to do when I was your age, look how that turned out. I dropped out of college. Just take your time and make sure its something you really want to do. If it is something you really want to do, you will be passionate about it and motivated to do good. If you aren't, you won't get very far. You have the rest of your life.
