thinking i made a bad choice doesn't mean i regret doing so

i never planned to come uot. actually chose mcmaster over uoft :P which made my dad freak out. but now i'm here, 'cause i got rejected by mcgill D:

don't like this school. it's like back to the same rgs sentiments. awesome friends, but just disgusting administration system. but at least uoft has good profs!

but i don't regret coming here :D manage to join so many interesting stuff, though the number of friends hasn't exceeded my ten fingers, but the amount of programs offered is just amazing! still deciding what subject POSts i should take next year (majors)... i think most prob doing global health, which focuses more on the developing countries. I always find the inequality between countries so obscene. i'm not the idealist that think inequality or poverty can be eradicated. but there are obvious flaws in the global systems that are just constantly trying to put down the less privileged. not as if humans are gonna be on earth forever. we will face extinction. on a smaller time frame, all of us will die anyways, so what for grab all the privileges and wealth. all the selfishness makes me sick. talking about all this just makes me so disappointed, we have seemed to moved backwards though technology has improved so much.

second major? environmental conservation? i'm steering towards animal conservation. i can't believe people are still eating shark fin, or buying stuff from the black market which do not even have any medicinal value (contrary to the popular beliefs). the number of animals on the list listed as endangered or extinct is just staggering. you may say it's survival of the fittest, if so, why not just let sick people die. seriously... i don't get why people think homo sapiens are freakin awesome, that we have consciousness and whatsoever. homo sapiens ARE animals.

i don't think i can make a huge difference to the whole, but at least i wanna try to convince the people around me, and do my own little part in making the world a better place, for the animals and the future generations
