So, when I got home today, M was talking about seeing an old friend at the shopping centre today. They didn't chat, because M wasn't sure whether it was her, because X was carrying a baby (and X is like >60). But then we remembered X has a daughter. It's probably (and most likely hers). She's married. My parents went to the wedding earlier this year. About six months ago.
Haha. Yes. There was awkward laughter around the dining table for a bit, but it stopped very abruptly with D saying "That had better not happen" with a finger pointed at me.
I thought it was very funny so I kept laughing, but he was so serious it was kinda scary. So I just "Yes Dad"ed him and then he started talking about our lives in 10 years time.
I think he wants to be retired in 10 years (a bit young I think, he won't even qualify for a pension..) and that freaked me out a little, because I'm sure we still have 15 or so years on the mortgage (though hopefully it won't take that long). In ten years time, he sees me and my future husband earning big bucks while he and M look after my kids at home. HAHA. And that got me thinking..
HOLY SHIT I HAVE A LOT TO DO IN THESE 10 YEARS. All of a sudden, 10 years doesn't seem so long. Between now and then I have to:
- pass my management exam on saturday
- graduate from uni
- do my CA
- resign and find another higher paying job
- house hunt
- buy house
- gotta somehow summon my inner siren and get a steady bf
- get ENGAGED (for those who remember, I'd like to share a giggle with you right now)
- get married
- contemplate kids
10 years to grow up is seriously not enough. I really have wasted time during the last 19 years.
Haha. I just lose track of time somehow. Time flies. It's crazy.
Anyway, guess who's gonna be an ugly bitch during Halloween next year..
She cracks me up.
11 screams of joy:
I've got my next 10+ all planned out:
Continue to go to uni.
One day graduate.
Do internship.
Specialise.
hi5 sandy.
in the middle- not fail med :(
That lady is so freaky! My next 10.. that's a really good question. I 'd like to finish uni, travel around Australia a bit and save up to get my own place out in the bush or by the seaside.
*hi5* - mine's finish uni, intern, registrar, start specialising. And maybe throw in family stuff somewhere in there too. Oh, and a PhD would be nice.
...10 years isn;t enough at all! :(
@SL24: Sounds like a good plan. So career focussed! What would you specialise in?
@Mawson: What would you spec in? (surgery? I don't even know if you can specialise in this .. lol)
@Christine: I want to get my own place too D: I've actually talked to the bank about borrowing money and it doesn't actually sound too hard. The only issue is I have to cap my personal spending if I want to buy property. :(
@Diti: GOSH everyone wants to specialise :D what would you specialise in? OOh and a PhD in what?
specialise because most people don't want to be garden variety hospital doctors =) [Though its not too bad a deal].
Refer to mawson's response + starting GP specialisation. Hopefully involved more at church too?.
... future family? eh, chuck that somewhere in the 10-15year range.
Ah well, surviving uni first.
I'd like a PhD in either science or med research =D Specialising... supposedly we really work out what we wanna do during internship. But at this moment, something oncology or paediatrics or immunology related perhaps...
@James: :D GP! and HEY cheating, i said 10 year :P not 10-15
@Diti: oncology! :( Man, i wouldnt be able to do that. i think im too emotional. :D YOU GO DO THAT WE NEED DOCTORS!
Having kids yourself is so overrated. Shopping for kids in African and SE Asia is all the rage at the moment. You should try it!
"gotta somehow summon my inner siren and get a steady bf"
Belle this made me laugh so hard ahha all you need to do is use your eyebrows and anyone would be seduced. ynowamsayn ?
In 10 years i want to have a family and a cool dog and we can meet up with your family and errone elses family and yeah :)
I'm really glad I blogged about this. I love reading what you all have written :) :) :)
