, because it's about something I just did for a class.
@Trivialis: I'm not bad at math (I don't seem to be allergic to it the way some people are) and programming comes easily enough, but mostly it's forthe career prospects.
You can't even write racist abuse in excrement on somebody's car without the politically correct brigade jumping down your throat!...I feel so stressed. Biology test on Monday, English paper that I have LONG put off due on Monday. I am partnered up with a girl who's a real go-getter in Acting. It's benefical to me because I just take orders but...she wants to pratice via phone on Sunday...
...and I don't like being at home because parents expect me to actually do housework around the house and I have enough on my plate as is with college.
Plus, I got no roles in the spring production...
...Thanksgiving break, come quick. No wait, then I'm stuck at home with parents who want me to work.

I have come to regard my Greek Philosophy class in much the same way as I regard celery: not always enjoyable, and certainly tough to get through, but I can't deny that it's healthy. I'm learning quite a bit, but it's a punishingly intense endeavour, and one that often makes me drift into a semiconscious fugue due to the sheer obscurity of Aristotle.
"And every life is a special story of its own." —The Stargazer, Mass Effect 3Man...it's just now dawning on me that if all goes properly, I'll be done with college by this spring. As in, no more school. As in, adulthood.
So I'm panicking now. What felt like a great, fulfilling idea a few years ago is now feeling like a mistake. I was a history major for my first two years, before I started kicking myself for not pursing the scientific disciplines I've always loved so much but was intimidated by. So, three years after that, I'm hoping to graduate with a double major in history and chemistry. GPA should be about 3.3-3.4.
I'm just freaking out because I'm worried my lack of a science or math minor will hinder my chances at getting any decent work. I mean, I'll take anything as a source of income, but I really don't want to be in school until I'm 30 just to do entry-level work anyway. I'd like to go to grad school, but I'd like some experience in the field first.

How dare you disrupt the sanctity of my soliloquy?

^ eat Thanksgiving dinner and fuck around on the Internet, like I always do
so couple of thoughts
- I'm really starting to regret telling my parents that I want to go to a large out-of-state research university. I've started settling in here at Hunter a bit too much (I'm already planning the arc of my entire college career here), the schools I'm looking at are all nearly 6 to 10 times more expensive than the one I'm attending (which is around $5,800 a year, an amount easily coverable through federal and state aid), the only schools that interest me are really selective and have average SAT math scores much higher than mine, and the application processes/fees for all of them are kinda onerous. Problem, since I told them I want to go to one of those, any attempts at convincing them I should stay where I am get met with cries, "don't limit yourself! go wherever you want to go!" guh
- I still plan on majoring in computer science, but the economics major looks more and more appealing all the while, mostly because I can recognize all of the terms in the course descriptions. I could do a dual-major, but that seems like a large undertaking for someone with a chronic procrastination problem.
