Fuck. I just realized how incredibly withdrawn I was in college even outside of classes to the point that I actively avoided even social possibilities that would appeal to me. Although that might have been because I lived off-campus and still can't drive. No, wait, family would have been glad to drive me to something that'd get me out of my shell. So it is all my fault. Fuck.
Half-asleep, please forgive this rambling.
Of course, don't you know anything about ALCHEMY?!- Twin clones of Ivan the GreatAwesome news, Dr Loni Jay. A belated congratulations to you, and may your tinkering with animal innards prove long and fruitful.
So, um. I'm nearly done with my first semester here, and though I haven't found anything terribly off-putting with Materials Engineering, I'm starting to think that my interests might have lied in Mechanical after all, and maybe giving up chemistry isn't too ridiculous a price for a transfer. I don't know, I'm still mostly dealing with common engineering courses and got most of the details from the seniors - but apparently it's very common for first and second-year Materials students in my uni to transfer courses. Final verdict: yay or nay?
One day, we will read his name in the news and cheer.I thought I wanted my Ph D. Now I just want to get my Master's and then get a job. Maybe one day I'll decided to go back, but I need at least a few years away from academia.
If you're more interested in the other, then I'd say go for it. It's not uncommon for students to switch majors.

People are mirrors. If you smile, a smile will be reflected.And now I'm in hot water concerning housing and tuition...excellent.
I am incapable of writing truly bad essays. Even when I think that I've done a crappy, half-assed job, I'm still lauded as brilliant. I suppose that everything that I touch is gold, from a writing standpoint.
This is a signature.So I didn't pass all (well okay I only passed one) of my classes this semester but as this is my second time through and I did pass Psych 241 (child development) I can get my Assistant license and do both one in person class (well 2 but that's in Creative Writing so I can stay living in dorms because cheap rent) and one online class in Guidance. I'm taking ECCE (Early Childhood Care and Education) if you are confused.
Well, it's been quite a while since I've last posted here.
All right, it's nearing the end of my 8th Quarter at my college and not only is my GPA still pretty decent (it's currently at 3.640), but I'm also in its Honors Program, where I'm learning Masters-level course information. I got another year left to go, so if I keep up the good work, then I'll at least be able to graduate "Cum Laude".
@Electric Nova What problems are you having exactly? Like is it the people, or the course content, or too much academic pressure?
(Not that I will necessarily be much help, but I can try).

Congratulations. (I still need to decide whether or not I want to become Dr. Tagg IRL after I get my MA.)
Hugging a Vanillite will give you frostbite.
