Queen of the trees!

My new nickname of course! Rather absurdly, I saw a setti up a tree yesterday and my friend suggested that I sat in it so that I was Queen of the trees! Obviously it was too far up the tree, and besides which I do believe it was art? I'm not overly sure to be honest, although I do respect how abstract it is as a piece of art.

Recently, within post 16 and out there seems to be a lot of added pressure to decide what I want to do with my life. Which is kind of expected seen as I'll be doing my University applications next year if all goes right! But, my question is how am I supposed to know what I want to do? Up to now everything has been given to us practically... in the sense that education is a set thing and you don't get a choice in the matter. I do know that I want to go to University, just like I knew I wanted to go to Post 16. Originally, I was interested in journalism, because I love writing and if I could do it for a living that would be great, right? But, there's so many other things that you have to factor in. There were so many turning points with journalism for me... the hours (I get stressed pretty easily) the money (I need to keep myself alive) and how hard it would be to get promoted or reach a better role unless I moved to a city (and I like to keep close to my family).

So, I went back to what originally interested me. I used to be obsessed with dentistry, everything about it... I don't know why, I just generally enjoyed it and found it somewhat interesting. But then when I did my work experience, something put me off. I was fine watching teeth be pulled out etc. but I didn't think I'd be able to do it myself so I had a huge change of heart. But recently I have come back to the idea, couldn't I be a dental nurse? I'd still be involved in patients, I'd leave my work at work and I'd enjoy it!

I guess I'm still not a hundred percent sure what I want to do with my life, and I hate not knowing either! But, I'm sure that I'll think of something, after all life goes on and at the end of the day not everyone enjoys their job! It's just something we have to do, if it's enjoyable then it's an added bonus! xoxo
