being an english major is fucking with my head. some days i get to class and i can't say anything because i feel completely incompetent. other days it all comes easy, but i still second-guess everything i say. and just when i've been wondering, really wondering, if i can hack it in this field, i suddenly start to contemplate dropping my communications major so i can concentrate more on my english major. honestly, the idea scares me to death in some ways, but in others it seems wholly worth it. not to mention that it would be a lot easier, and that i would say a lot of money/effort in that i wouldn't have to take extra courses during the summer, but...i don't know. i guess i'll have to conduct my usual opinion survey (friends, mom, advisors) and see what they think.
in other news...um. i'm not really sure when i became so high-strung. i'm low-key most of the time, but sometimes certain situations pull me out of that zen state and i get downright panicky. maybe it's junior year and the fact that suddenly everyone's talking about grad school and GREs and internships and i'm so overwhelmed that all i can do is let it all spin around me.
to focus on the tangible, school hasn't been all that awful lately, workload-wise. work is the same as it ever was. the weekend was uneventful but nice regardless. i have to take my lip ring out for the first time tomorrow. and...that's it. i used to be a lot more random and glib in here, but it seems that stress/lack of time has taken a toll on my random eljaying skills.
