The Eclectist

Above the curve

The 31st is nearing. Guess what that means? 

Yes, Halloween.. BUT also, the UTA course drop deadline. 

So naturally, teachers are cramming in tests as well as grading and posting grades at a much quicker pace than usual. Seeing how I had a round of tests last week, I’ve been patiently and nervously awaiting the results on those considering I did mediocre at best on the first round of tests I had earlier in the semester.

Well, grades are in and.. I am relieved! I did exceptionally well. I studied my ass off but still felt unsure and uneasy considering what a beast anatomy and physiology are due to the depth and grandiosity of the content .

The teacher posted the grades as well as the class average and median and I scored 20 points above the class average and median in both the Anatomy lecture and practical as well as the animal physiology exam. I am so relieved! That means that an A letter grade is still entirely within my reach and I am currently on track to obtain an A in both of those 4 hour courses *knocks on wood*, that should deliver a nice hefty boost to my science GPA as well as my overall GPA. 

But! the anxiety is not quite over yet, I’ve still to receive my Biochemistry exam results and those have me rather worried. We shall see.

On a side note I also have A’s in my two other courses, so it looks like a 4.0 semester GPA thus far * knocks on wood*.

Time for a mini celebration, haha.

All about the bidnezz.

I must admit.

I think I’ve been bit by the entrepreneurial bug sometime a year or two ago. I’ve had a sudden interest in starting my own business ever since. I can honestly say I don’t think a day goes by that the idea of starting a successful business does not cross my mind. I’m always trying to think of novel ideas in hopes of finding that ‘golden ticket’ idea that will , hopefully make me a multimillionaire one day.

If you don’t know anything about me - as far as my career aspirations and ‘education’ go  I’m aiming for a career in medicine. I like it. I like helping people. I like the job security that comes with it. The rather ‘decent’ pay. But let’s be honest. Unless I become a neurosurgeon, I am not going to be raking in millions, and I can rest assured my ass is going to be worked to the bone considering the recent upcoming changes to health care. That’s definitely enough to make me fret my career choice. So in the meantime, while I’m still working toward that goal of being a healthcare professional, I’m thinking of business ideas on the side . If all goes as planned, which rarely happens , I’ll strike a lucky shot and I’ll end up running a lucrative business which can help supplement my income or, if it’s very successful I can just focus entirely on my business. Either way its a win-win. Besides, I get to be my own boss, it doesn’t get better than that right?

Anyways, I say this because I’ve recently come up with two more options that I’ve added to my growing list of business ideas.

The problem is - I never really have put any of them to the test or even attempted to get them started and running. So in a sense I suppose it doesn’t do me any good to come up with these things if I don’t make the effort to get them up and running. Part of that is due to school getting in the way, and the other part is resources. 

Oh well. One of these days. I’ll be graduating soon and I’m definitely promising myself to at least attempt or start a few of these things with the newly added free time.

If I want the big bucks I have to. I must.
