That warm, fuzzy feeling
OK so today I went and officially declared a math major on top of my Engineering. Trust me. It's doable. (I only have to take 8 additional classes- one computer java, one more gen ed, and like 6 more math classes.) it's still far from definite , though. I still have to schdule an appointment with the Engineering math guy and I have an appointment with my mechanical advisor tomorrow. Oh! I have this really sneaky plan. I think I'm 3 classes behind from being able to register for upper level courses next fall, but if I arbitrarily swicth over to Aerospace then I'm only 2 classes deficient, and that's good enough to take a couple of upper classss. and then worst comes to worst I can always go back to mechanical if I get tired of spaceships. But at least now I feel like I have a direction to aim towards, which in itself is its own reward.
I can't explain it, but I just felt so comfortable in the math bulding, kinda like that whole Mazlow hierarchy of needs. I feel like I have of belonging amidst all the rubik's cubes (I found a BUNCH OF THEM, and in good condition) and other math majors. Apparently the number of majors and double majors have increased a lot this year, so in that way its uncool that I'm just part of a trend (They say it's partially cuz of that NUMB3RS show) but then how often do I get to be trendy? And I got a B on my TRAD test, which is OK but since there are only 3 tests it's hurting my average a lot.
So things are allright. A little chaotic, but aren't they always. And the democrats won.
Shucks, have an Engineering Test tomorrow, and I have little idea what it's on. Oh well. I must be delerious and/or sleepy. Probably jljogvboerhghqh <-- Me falling asleep on the keyboard.
Also, in case you hadn't hard, I dropped honors chem from next semester due to my indecisiveness and am gonna take a substitue class next fall, a Materials Science class. In lieu of 3 credit hours I feel I needed to fill, I added linear algebra. so now I only have 1 class on mondays and fridays YAY!!!!!!!!!!! But it's the other side of Speedway, and my dorm is on 8th street. hooray for public transportation!

Yay for dropping hChem, you don't need that pain and agony...that double major/5 minors thing is pretty nuts though. Good luck to you, man. If it makes you feel any better, I'm probably going to end up graduating with way more units than required (probably around 40-ish, we need 34)...and next semester I'm taking 5 classes, which is 17.5 "semester hours" in university-speak. Include flute lessons and wind ensemble, which are a .5 unit each, and that's 21 credit hours. So we're both insane :)
well I hate to be a bubble burster but it looks like the whole 5 minors thing might have to go on the backburner, like all of them. My engineering advisor says that the engineering math degree (the one with a little bit of each) is about as effective as a 50 year old pill. I might be able to fit at most one minor with the current double major layout (The engineering and math separate majors), but then the question arises of which one? Econ? Physics? Astronomy even? Gah! This is what I get for being an overachiever.
