Decisions, decisions

I know it's a bit early to be thinking about my post graduate options, but I think it's going to take a good two years to decide what I want to do anyway. I can either do a Masters in Clinical Psychology, or I can do a Doctorate in Clinical and Forensic Psychology. The difference (other than the obvious) is that the Doctorate is four years, instead of two. I guess the main question is whether or not I really want to have a degree in Forensic Psychology and have the stepping stones into experimental work as well. 

I am just writing this down because for the last five days I have not been able to think about anything else. Of course I have to finish my Bachelor, get into Honours, and finish with high marks to do any post graduate study, but I am only thinking about the positive for the time being and hoping that all falls into place through my hard work over the next two years. I am fairly sure that no matter how much thought I put into this, it will be a decision I will have to make after Honours - I think I will know in my heart and in my head what I want to do by then.

... I had no idea four years ago I would be thinking about these kinds of things. My teenage self would have laughed at the thought.
