Decision Made

I  promised this update once the decision had been made, and it was this afternoon.

Firm: Medicine @ Queens  (Provided i achieve an A in Chemistry)
Insurance: Biomedical Science @ East Anglia

Needless to say since the two major exams for A2 did not go as well as I had hoped, I am now praying enough was done to achieve the A.

Decisions and Disney

For those of you who know me well, you know that I dislike making decisions, especially when they involve more than myself. One of you, now forces me to make every decision (which is just not fair, and i think it should stop, every other decision maybe.) And at the same time I can be opinionated. And I am for sure an over thinker. 

At the moment I am deciding between my university choices. Easily the biggest and most complex decision I have made, or more correctly I am about to make. Just to fill in those who do not know:

I have narrowed the options for first chioce down to:

Medicine at Queens, Belfast (Home) or Medicine at Liverpool (30min plane journey away)

My Insurance will be Biomedical Science at East Anglia. (Since I withdrew from Medicine at Brighton because I got offers from my top two medical courses. And I decided that although I love the idea of doing theology I can't see myself using it in employment.)

I had decided on Queen's, but today I went into school to go over everything with the careers teacher. My mind is now confused. She reminded me about the opportunities that would come from going to Liverpool, the experience I will gain from contact with a more diverse community and the chance to live away from home. 

So the decision making process continues. In the form of prayer and pro's and con lists. I am a fan of lists, I make quite a lot of lists, usually to do lists. But pro and con lists for this decision just do not seem to cut it. So if you have any suggestions, throw them my way ;) Pro and con lists are too simple for something so complex. Their are too many factors to consider with completely varying importance and influence, some of which I can not predict.  

Roy E. Disney- "When your values are clear to you, making decisions becomes easier."

It does become easier when I remember what I value. Infact it helped me decide Queens to begin with.  But it is still a difficult decision, not made any easier when I remember that this decision could involve five years of my life or more in Liverpool or Belfast. So the over thinking and the prayer continues. I'd be soo thankful for your prayers! The decision will be made before Tuesday 7th June, I will let you all know the final decision.
