Today, I couldn't help but wonder...

...why I chose to study the course I chose to study, and why I chose to study WHERE I chose to study. Chemical Engineering at Imperial College.

I mean, I do like my course (notice I didn't use the word 'love'. Hard to imagine ME actually having feelings of deep fondness and affection towards such matters as Fluid Mechanics and Properties of Matter, but there ARE people like that in my course, mind you). I definitely don't think I chose the wrong course; if anything, maybe the wrong university (!!!!!!!!!!!). MAYYYYYBE!

I was just imagining, my life could be so much easier and rosier if I were studying something fancy-schmancy, fun and possibly whimsical like Music (ooops, no offence, Grace!), or something glamorous and 'trendy' like Mass Communications, or something nice and straightforward like English, or something practical and sensible like Finance or Business Management, but no! Chemical Engineering it is! And Imperial College at that, to add to my misery!

And yet, that said, I do at the end of the day believe that this is my path in life. Somehow I cannot imagine myself in any other field but science. Guess it's just human nature to gripe about one's situation and to always think the grass is greener on the other side.
