So there were some other unedited ramblings that I needed to have a go at. Sometimes I'm not sure if some of the phrases that I used are learned from Northern Ireland or not. I guess that I'll have to see if people look at me terribly quizzically or not.
I am so close to graduating, and I can't help thinking that if I hadn't switched faculties, I would be graduating with a B. Mus. instead of a B. Sc. (Hons). But I think that I'd take the B. Sc. (Hons) anyday. I did not enjoy my musical studies. I like music, but really, I am a social sciences/sciences type of person. This degree suited me a lot more. And I've met a few people that I was in music school with, and a number of them are working in shops that have nothing to do with music...and are planning on getting other training. But I admire them for sticking to it as well. A B. Mus. is certainly an accomplishment!
When I left the school of music, I wasn't sure what I was going to do with myself. I was kind of lost. I had wanted to be a doctor before that...forever....and then I realized that I wanted to aim for that again. But during my "What am I going to do with the rest of my life?" phase, I went and got tested for Holland Types. I turned out to be an SAE. Social. Artistic. and Enterprising. Interesting. I think that the typical doctor has another type. Like involving Investigative and Realistic or something. But that was my type, and I still wanted to be a doctor, and the psychologist administering the test looked at me a little quizzically. But we'll see where this all takes me. But low and behold, I didn't know what it was called, but what I want to do is called social medicine. So I guess that that is where the social comes in. And I wouldn't say that I am "out-there" about art, but I like artistic things. I think that you can be both an artist and a scientist. They come in different proportion I suppose. I feel like I am sort of on the line between the two, if there is a line. I have a friend who is incredibly scientific, but also incredibly artistic. And I don't feel like I spread out that far on the line. I'm more just kind of hovering around it with little fringe bits on either side.
But yes. SAE. That is me, apparently.
