A Post Relevant to the Blog! (Deciding to Become a Marine Biologist)

Here it is, post number one (as far as the actually point of the blog goes):

I chose to become a Marine Biologist after years of loving to learn about marine habitats and the relatively sturdy ecosystems which set themselves up in the oceans and in almost any area with water, and things living in that water.  That being said, it was a choice made somewhat recently.  Until a few months ago, I was going to be some hotshot cardiologist, living it up in about a decade when I finally got out of school, but for some reason, I never felt that I was really in it.  Realistically, I have only had three career choices my entire life, as governed by my stubbornness and will to learn: working at NASA as an astronomer or physicist, being a cardiologist, or a marine biologist.  Those are the three things I love the most, academically speaking.  I hate math beyond belief, so physicist is out. 




I love Seinfeld, and maybe one day I, too, can be like Costanza...


The remaining two were at war with one another in my head for years, however, and it was a war not easily one by either side, neither conceding to the harshness of such a major.  I know this is how it is with a lot of people out there who want this, but you should never refuse to listen to another side of you if it wants to do something different.  After all, I would most likely be doing more good to people as a whole if I were to become a doctor, and it is something I would love to do.  Yet, for some reason, I never told people about that career with the enthusiasm I tell them about MB with.  I noticed this one day, and it really planted a seed until, finally, I have decided on MB for, hopefully the last time.
