So for the past few weeks have been midterms for everyone at school. And for all first years, including myself, this is our first time ever taking midterms. I would like to think of it as a pre-final, keeping the mind working throughout the quarter. After learning how much one should study for an exam, after completely failing my chemistry quiz, I put a lot of work into my math and jazz midterms and it absolutely paid off since i walked out confidently of both classes. Tomorrow is my "shitty" chemistry midterm, and i have been studying for it, but i have discovered the lack of interest i have for chemistry altogether. No doubt that my chemistry class is the hardest class i am in enrolled in, but it is also the most boring class too. The structure and form of the class itself is also pretty bothersome. During lectures, I can understand the material, but when it comes to homework problems, the lecture is no help at all. And the tests and exams are so general, theres not much focus on what you really need emphasis on, except that "tests will be on ch.1 to ch. 3." Yeah, sounds pretty broad to me.
My disinterest in chemistry has lead me to seek out new majors that could be interesting to me. I have gone through the list of majors, and looked at a few of them and their perquisites. Came upon Business Economy, International Development Studies, Sociology, Communication Studies, and Psychology. After much thinking i have narrowed it down to Psychology. I have come to a point where maybe Physiological Science isn't the major for me. And honestly i couldn't even explain to you what that major is about in detail. I still have aspirations to become a sports trainer, dietitian, or nutritional counselor. And fuck it yeah even to be a professional athlete. But who knows, I am still a first year trying to get use of this college atmosphere and this leisure-free schedule i have. I honestly have no clue what i really want to do and learn at school, but i am opening myself up try different classes. Even though i have been constantly told that trying a new major is "giving up" in the degree of a science major, I would still want to try to see if theres more than just "doing what everyone else wants to do" (and here everyone wants to be a fucking doctor). What i know now is that i dont want to be taking classes (piece of shit chemistry) for 2 years and all of a sudden have a change of heart, and do not want to be that major and be aggravated about how i took 2 years of a class that i dont need anymore. My goal is to try this psychology class out and see what i get out of it. I have talked to many intended psychology majors, and heard a lot of good things. And if it doesnt, well oh well, at least i didnt waste 2 years of classes to figure it out.
All day everyday, eddayday
constantly busy until winterbreak
