...now that is the question. Obviously, I gave up blogging after spring break. One of the things about me is that I am ridiculously inconsistent. I change my mind a lot. I never stick to one thing. But I like to think of it as just me being open to everything. I told everyone to keep blogging and to never stop when I was the first one to stop.
Speaking of changing my mind, I am not sure if I want to go into psychology anymore. Here is why. On Friday, I went to an interview at the Drug Enforcement Administration in San Francisco, where I will be working over the summer. The laboratory director said that I will start out with either volunteering or the student aid program. Since this is a science place, I asked if there was anything psychology related here. He said no. The lab is strictly chemistry. He said that majoring in psychology entails the necessities of majoring in other stuff. For example, psychology requires that I must go into a counseling or teaching course. In the end, I will have to major in psychology AND teaching. It is a long process.
The greatest catch today was that if I continue working at the DEA as a student, in the future, I am GUARANTEED a job when I am older and out of college. Basically, if I stay with the DEA, my job in the future is set. However, I am not sure if I want to go into chemistry. But if I do, my life in the future is pretty much already wrapped in a box and tied with a purple ribbon. While taking the tour in the lab, I found it is pretty interesting because I analyze items recovered from crime scenes and stuff.
So the question is not "to blog or not to blog," but rather: to have a job that I love, or a job that will make life easier. I have always told myself to find a job that I love and would do for free, But now I am not sure. Jasmine the chemist or Jasmine the psychiatrist/teacher/counselor? Have a nice day!

Haha Thanks Jasmine. Sigh, no I suppose I did not even imagine I would be in Robotics (I hate technology) or Volleyball (remember when I used to be supersuper ballphobic). You're right; trust God. He's the only one who can give me that passion, and if He wants me to do something great, let Him decide, not me.
That's a wonderful opportunity! It's nice to have something like that to fall back on, and it's even better if you're really into it. You'll see in the summer, I suppose. But if you want to go into psychology, you still have that option. Of course, pray about it, but do what you want and what you think God wants you to do.
Don't give up blogging Jasmine! I think you should just continue on with your life, trust God to lead you for his purpose. Instead of asking yourself the question, which job do I love more, ask yourself Which one do you think would glorify God more? Hopefully those two are the same =]
