Tired
I'm so tired.
Not really physically but more so mentally.
I'm tired of being an undergrad. My fourth year is so useless I almost wish I had applied to US schools last year. Maybe if I did then I would finally be learning things that are a little more relevant to what I want to do - like everyone else.
I'm still waiting on Waterloo to send me the application I applied for almost a month ago. In my experience, Waterloo is well experienced in getting important things, like, acceptance letters, information packages, applications, and more, to you at the slowest pace. Maybe it just comes with being 'the most innovative' and 'among the world's best'. Who knows... or should I say, "Why not?".
Yet still I hold on to that hope that 'hey, maybe they will accept me!'
If not, I'll go to Boston. Boston seems to be my first choice.
I don't know where I'm going with this. To sum it up: Realizing I'm in my fourth year in an almost dead-end major at a school that is synonomous with crushing the dreams of many once 'top of the class' students sucks.
I still have the land of the "American Dream" as back-up though.
On another slightly related note: If I knew I could have done my science undergrad at a school that has a completely unknown science faculty, done stellar in two years, and get accepted into UW Optometry, I probably wouldn't have thought to myself "If I go to UW, it will show that I'm really determined to get into Optometry!".
I'm so bitter. Really I should be angry with myself but it's easier to blame something else. My posts always lead from, "X sucks. X sucks because of Y. Y = Waterloo." Predictable. Yet in the end it's still the goal. I'm starting to think that the only reason I want to go to Waterloo for Optometry is because now I know Jessica is there. Going to a different university is going to be hard and I'm not looking forward to it. Another problem is all I see and hear about UW Optometry is the negative. I never hear anything good about it and Waterloo doesn't have to even boast about it's program because really, Canadians have no other choice in Canada. It's either know fluent French, or pay out your unmentionable orifices to go to the US. What competition is there for UW Optometry? They have no need to attract the best students for fear they might go to another school because there isn't any. It's like a monopoly...
...and it's not nearly as fun to play.
That's enough for now. I've got more to rant and this probably isn't very coherent. Next time I should post something when I'm not so tired/disgruntled/have a bleak outlook on life (which honestly, is more often... it just doesn't make for as interesting blogs, no?).
