Decisions, decisions...

Hmmm......

Few issues have been on my mind since the past month.

1. It just came to my notice that almost the whole world is on facebook. And I was ignorant enough not to notice it. Imagine that! Now, friends are urging me to sign up on facebook. Not one, not two, but quite a number of them.

However, I haven't made up my mind.

Should I join in the rapidly expanding community registered on facebook?

Do I need to let everyone know what I am up to at any particular moment?

Do all my friends need to see my latest uploaded photos?

What happens to my photos when I post them on the net? Will the photos be abused?

Is it that necessary to connect with friends through this? In this manner?

More importantly, will I later regret joining facebook?



2. During my A-levels exams in May, I went crazy. Without any stimulation, I suddenly decided to take an extra subject-Physics. For the past 2 semesters, I was only doing 3 subjects. Out of the blue, I felt the urge to take an extra subject, and I have absolutely no idea what made me come to that particular decision.

I told my parents my new plan. Of course, they thought I was seriously out of my mind (who wouldn't?).

But then, I went to see my Head of Department. A few times, I might add. And surprisingly, my weird request was not only entertained, it was actually approved!

So, now, I am taking Physics, 1 year behind my friends who were sane enough to take it when the course started.

Now, imagine the reaction of others outside the loop when this decision was made. Their reactions said it all - 'you must be joking' and 'are you out of your mind or something?' are the few classic ones. I'm thinking that the look on their faces, combined with what they did and did not say when they heard about what I was going to do might just prove to be my source of amusement when I'm feeling down.

They cannot for the life of them understand why on earth this madness was approved. Well, I myself don't really understand too. So be it.

The question here is, should I register to take the Physics exam during the next A-levels exam?



3. After years and decades of talking about going to UK, now when it's time to apply, I'm actually having second thoughts.

What's happening?

Of course I haven't abandoned my lifelong dream of going there, I'm merely postponing it.

So what should I do?

Should I still apply through UCAS?

Should I register for IELTS?



Decisions, decisions...

That's what life is made up of.

The decisions I make now will shape my future. Or at least affect it in some minor way.

What is the best decision to make? Unless I can see into the future, I would never know which path to take right now.

Two roads diverged in a wood...

Do I take the greener one?
