Just returned from a gathering with a friend who went Purdue University to further his studies in 2004. The inevitable topic was of course national service which never fails to rear its ugly self in any gathering involving guys. We shared with him our 'interesting' experiences and I never did imagine the outrageous manoeuvres and tactics displayed by 1st guards during their ATEC. I certainly had a good laugh. However, no matter what they did would be overshadowed by the abyssal result produced by my battalion and it would be the topic for years to come.And once again Im deeply troubled by my choice in subject when they discussed the question of 'what are you doing in university'. I always wanted to study pharmacy, my determination evident in the choice I took in JC : Chem, Bio and Maths. No physics, partly because my physics teacher in secondary intimidated me, and I always thought it was a complex subject. It was a decision I soon regret. I aced the sujects I took but it wasnt sufficient to warrant a position in pharmacy. Damn! I put all my eggs in a basket and it was too late for remorse. I couldnt turn to chem engineering because I didnt take physics. I dont know what are the prospects of a chem degree holder. Luqi can set up a TCM hall, chee's doing chem engineering, randeep doing law in ANU. Maybe I'll end up teaching chemistry in some school. Anyway Mother's day on sunday. Any gift ideas? |
