Where's she been? Don't tell me she left again!
Nope, I didn't!
Things have been crazy crazy crazy around here. I don't think I've had the chance to sleep, much less sit down for the past month and a half. Unfortunately I've managed to eat, as evidenced by my gaining about ten pounds and constantly inhaling anything with sugar in it. Coming from a family of diabetics, sugar= bad. But I swear it's like I cannot physically stop myself from frantically consuming anything with sugar. I crave it. And when I say I crave it, I mean like its a drug and I can stop myself. Please take anything remotely resembling sugar and sweets out of my house.
Admitting you have a problem is the first step, right?
So, guess who passed Accelerated Psychology eleven points shy of a perfect score? That's right, me! (Woot woot) I had never taken a psychology class before, and this was a requirement and I loved it. It was the hardest class I've ever taken, because it was accelerated, online and you had to study by making your own notes out of the book. It was fantastic. I used to procrastinate and just do a half-hearted attempt at studying, but I actually put a great deal of effort into it. I worked like I've never worked before, and I have a whole new appreciation for what I can accomplish if I try and put my mind to it. I enjoyed how hard it was and the effort I had to put into it.
I'm just about done with Sociology and Ethics as well. The 3rd and 4th are my finals for those classes, respectively. I'm already losing my mind out of sheer boredom. I'm ready for autumn quarter to start, and spring quarter isn't even over yet. It's going to be a long summer, even with the family reunion down in the Ancestral Homestead starting on the 22nd of this month.
I miss Georgia badly. I miss the thought of going into historic preservation. I'm trying so hard to find a major that I will love just as much, but I don't think I will. Historic preservation was what was going to make me happy. I'm not sure that anything else will be more than just a career I do for financial reasons, instead of for love. Ironically, it was financial reasons that kept me out of college for it. If you bring the cupcakes, I've got plenty of confetti and sparkles for the pity party.
I'd love a career that is both physically and mentally challenging, because I hate sitting still- I'm not a desk job stay-in-one-place-all-day kind of girl, and I love things that I can mentally take apart, find all the ins and outs of, and put back together again; sort of like a mental Rubik's Cube. I love finding out things and learning and absorbing new information. I'm spastically creative, more introverted than extroverted (though I desperately wish to be the other way around), and love to figure out creative ways to solve problems (it's that mental Rubik's Cube thing again- figure out where all the pieces fit in a different way than everyone else). I also suck at math higher than basic algebra, but boy, you'll never find someone who tries harder to understand it. So all that being said, any suggestions for a major/career that might fit me?
