Thirteen things I wanted to be or do when I was growing up.
Posted by: Marylin in meme, random thoughts
- To be a famous horse-rider with a stud-farm. I knew EVERYTHING about horses even though I never had a lesson.
- To be a vet. Same as above for pretty much most animals!
- I wanted to be a singer. I loved singing in the school choir, unfortunately my lack of any sort of singing in the past 5 years has left my voice to be slightly lacking now to say the least.
- An artist. I was pretty good in art class at school, top of the class in fact. I decided that I’d rather keep it as a hobby than try to do it for a day job. Alas, just like the singing, I’m out of practice.
- A movie star - who wouldn’t want to get into cut-scenes with the cute kid from Free Willy (ok I was only like 10 there right? leave me alone!)?
- I wanted to be an interior designer. I still think I’m pretty good at that sort of thing - I’d so love to be able to design my own house, if money was no object then wow I’d be in heaven!
- The love of animals led to me wanting to become a marine biologist.
- Then I realized I’d end up looking at plankton for the rest of my life so I thought biomedical sciences would be more fun - I was always fascinated by the things going on in my body every second just to keep me alive.
- Then I went off at a tangent and wanted to be a psychologist.
- After being at Uni for a while I decided that I still wanted to do science rather than psychology, so I switched degrees to Pharmacology and Physiology deciding that I wanted to go into research.
- Once J had proposed to me I wanted to be a good wife for him, something I still struggle with today. Lets face it, we can’t be perfect ALL the time!
- Once I had Zack all I wanted was to be a good mum to him, and I actually think I’m doing a pretty good job on that one, yay me!
- Once I had Max all I wanted was to get some sleep again. We’re still working on that one…
… and that pretty much brings us up to date with things I want to be or do as I grow up, I’m sure there will be more to add to this list as the years go by!

When I was six, I told my mom that I wanted to be a slut when I grew up
My friend’s mom said (after we had been putting on makeup) we looked like sluts. All I knew was they got to wear lots of makeup. Perfect job!

Ugh, pharmacology!? *sigh* that was seriously the roughest part of my nursing program. I can’t imagine having to study that all.the.time. I’d fail. Hey, constantly trying to figure out what’s wrong on with a non speaking kid is almost like being a vet
