that eternal question on choosing a major

or set of majors
or majors and minors
or just a slough of minors. that's what people like to call "Interdisciplinary studies"

two of my classes await in the balance, Physics optics and poetry

Blast me and my indecisions

continuing...

If I go an get an official math degree, then I need the poetry class as my arts requirement
If I stay in the Engineering Math degree, I need the physics optics and theromdynamics class (The class I took just this spring was Engineering thermo- I'm sure there's some overlap), though I don't need the english class
If I switch back to Mechanical (mentally), then I don't need either and can
If I stay in Aerospace (which I'm technically listed as), likewise

I could theroetically get a triple major in regular and Engineering Maths, and Mechanical, but:
a) It would be tough (average like 6-7 classes/labs a semester)
b) It would leave absolutely no wiggle room for anything else, and I like the idea of being able to wiggle

So what I think I'm going to do for the meantime is double major in the two maths, and then a junkload of mechanical eng classes as my tech electives, ultimately taking way more than needed, and then being able to fit in one more, possssssssssssssibly 2, minors. Seeing as now I only have 3 years' worth of scholarship money left, I better figure out a way to put it to good use. Cause I still think I want an econ minor, but the problem is that doesn't fit well at all in with the rest of my classes. Except for maybe game theory.

Again, blasted indecisions...
