A BLONDE Physicist?!?!

I can now officially I have mastered the accomplishment of changing majors more than other students change towels. Yup, it's happened again. As interesting as engineering was, I realized I wasn't meant to spend all my time crying, or on the verge of tears because school had me so depressed, stressed out, frustrated, disappointed (pick any negative adjectives and they probably apply to this). So, I started thinking, what do I really want? And this is the list that emerged.


A master's degree, and perhaps a doctorate in something
Toned body
Healthy lifestyle (eating and such)
Lamborghini
Family
Chocolate (forever)


Well, ok, so the Lamborghini one is a bit high. But I like to dream. And yes, the chocolate conflicts with the healthy lifestyle, oh well. I'm a confusing person. I started realizing that engineering was cool, but it might conflict with family goals when it came career time. I also realized that there was no way I was going past my bachelors degree because it was going to take me possibly 3 more years and I was going to really hate life by then if my current hatred for life continued growing and college would end there, thus ending my graduate school dreams.


I realized that I wanted a dergee in the sciences that I could be proud of, but that wouldn't pigeon hole me into a specific career, take the rest of my life just to get a bachelors degree, or discourage me from going to graduate school. And that's when physics fell into place! Yes, the blonde is going to be a physicist. That in itself may defy the laws of social physics, but I am going to do it! I'm only in week two of a physics loaded class schedule, but I am already loving it more and feeling much more positive about just about everything again.


I'd be lying now if I said every day was a perfect happy day. There are the stressed days from huge homework loads. There are the frazzled days from crazy days at work. There are some lonely days when I don't like being a single twenty-something so much and wish there were cute single LDS boys at my school, but alas, I haven't met them yet. And on those days I watch the following video and remember that my life is actually pretty dang awesome and in six and a half years I will hopefully be Dr. (insert future married last name) because I will have a doctorate in physics and a wonderful husband (whomever he may be) with my Lamborghini (probably a model car) with the toned body and healthy lifestyle (already working on those!).
