The end of Dentistry

So I have pretty much made up my mind to drop out of dentistry, and probably take the rest of the year off and work and stuff. Unless I can get into mid year entry into engineering, but I'm pretty sure it is too late for that. I just can't wait for all the comments and shit that I'm going to get from my dad, brother, uncles, aunties, and especially my grandpa. I feel like shit for letting them down that I'm not doing dentistry. Obviously it would be a lie to say I tried my BEST, but I did try, not 100% but enough to know that it is seriously not the thing for me. I don't think it is possible for me to do 5 years only thinking about the money I get after Uni. If you know me, you know how materialistic I am, and how much money means to me, and dentistry cannot overcome that so.. yeah..

I always say 'I wish I had never gotten the offer.' But now I think about it, it is quite an achievement even though I did not even get through one year xD I still think it's pretty good to be selected to study dentistry even thought I JUST scraped through as the last couple of people chosen.

Seems like I'm going to hang out with some of the guys from high school tomorrow, I wonder what they'll say, but since they are still young pretty sure they'll all just say that I have made the right choice to go with something I have a passion for. It may be nice to take the rest of the year off though I think, can save up some money. Hopefully girlfriend's parents won't think super lowly of me haha just after I'm getting a bit better in their books ^^

So, I have not been doing exercises for the past two weeks, but I have been going to badminton more often so that kind makes up for it. And I also went to Mt Lofty a few times so that probably boosted my stamina a little bit.

I wonder if I'll be able to do some study for the rest of the year if I take it off, like spec maths and physics to brush up on my memory from two years ago for the math. Obviously my parents won't believe that I'll do it, but I reckon I can do it. Since I actually like math.. Weird right? Who likes math haha.. Only the super nerdy people, but I like math and I'm not super nerdy..

Anyways probs sleep time for me now, hopefully my injured toe will heal soon =]
