2 years since I've made my decision ...

So it has been 2 years since I was in my younger sister's shoes. I mean, it's been 2 years since I had to decide what degree to do and what my new future would be after I graduate from high school. I really can't believe that it been 2 years. I always thought (when I was in high school) that what ever degree I chosed it will effect me in the future and that there's no turning back once I started.

But the hardest part for me was when it came to choosing a degree to do at uni. At the start of year 12 I wanted to do Laws and become a Lawyer. Later on, I realised that I should do a degree that involves the subjects I was doing in year 12. The subjects I did where: Chemistry, Physics, Marketing and Management, English Literature (I later changed to the TEE English) and History. So I changed it to Criminology and Forensics. Throughout the whole of year 12, I thought that Criminology and Forensics was the right choice I'd made for the future. But, after I had finished my TEE Exams, graduated and went to Vietnam for leaver and also christmas and waited for my results to get published, I kepted thinking maybe it wasn't the right degree to do.


So when I got back from Vietnam (after the christmas holiday over there), I changed to a bridging course at ECU (Edith Cowan University). This allowed me 6 months study for free for 6 months and to let me decide what degree to do. By the end of the course; I applied for Curtin University of Technology as a mid-year applicant, thinking that I wouldn't be accepeted. However, I was accepeted to the University to study the Bachelors of Commerce/Business.

So I am currently studying Commerce in Accounting and Business Law. I am expected to graduate in 2 years (2012) and my plans for after graduation is to apply/ work for CPA Australia or CA or any of the Big 4. If not then, I decided that I will continue my further studies at ECU (Edith Cowan University) in Law as a graduate. This was because I initally wanted to study laws.
