I'm really starting to freak out about what my major is going to be. I need to make a decision soon. Registration starts on Nov. 20 and I don't want to take classes that aren't going to help me when I make the jump to a 4-year college. More and more I'm leaning towards environmental studies. There is a lot less math involved. I'm finding that the math doesn't really interest me all that much. But the research and investigation side really does interest me. With environmental studies, I'll be much more likely to be able to spend time outdoors during school and whatever job I might get after school. I like the idea of that. I really don't want to be stuck in some cubicle crunching numbers or doing mind-numbing research for some big company no matter what it is that they do. The pay may ultimately be less, but making a ton of money is pretty far down the list for me. I just want to make enough to be comfortable and have enough left over every month to be able to save for retirement. And I want to have a job that is satisfying to me and one where I look forward to going to work. A job where I can feel like I'm actually making a difference. I think I may have already made my decision and am just trying to talk myself into it. I was so excited about the renewable energy thing that I'm a little disappointed in myself for not going in that direction. I also know that no one else will think badly of me if I change. It's all in MY head. Anyways, if I go forward with the environmental studies I think I'll be taking Biology 211, Math 243 (Statistics), and Sociology 204 during the next term. I think I may go talk to an academic advisor on Friday to see if I can get a bit more clarity on this.
Now I'd better get back to actual schoolwork. I still have half a chapter of economics to read for tommorow's class(and understand - that's the hard part. So many graphs!).
