It was about time for one of my very infrequent updates, so I guess I'll be doing one now.
Electrical engineering sucks, and making stupid errors that have costed me 80 points on exams sucks as well, even worse is the fact my method was correct on half of those points I lost, and it was just one button pressed incorrectly in the calculator.
I'm thinking I will be changing into math as a major and have economics as a minor. Why? Because I really don't feel like dealing with this crap for 3 more years. If I play my cards right, I can get it all done in 2 years and just have some fun for once, it won't be easy, but I'm thinking I'd enjoy my future work more than if I stuck around in electrical engineering. The major thing is that I just don't find electrical engineering interesting, and more of a bunch of classes, half of which are just pains in the ass, and not enjoyable at all. Statistics and math however has always been something I've played around with, and who knows, I could get a nice little job in an area that would be both fun and good paying. But who knows really, all I know is that I've stressed myself too much in a pair of classes and I am not going to do anything in my future that only raises my blood pressure and eventually kills me.
Anyway, outside of classes, life is much of the same. Tired of waiting to find that special girl, tired of the drama that some people like creating, and in general, just tired. Sometimes you just have a gut feeling of what you want to do with your life, and I'm starting to get one myself, and it doesn't involve electrical engineering, it is more along the lines of being mathematics major, get the minor in economics, earn some money and start working for non-profit organizations, living with the intention of being known as someone who helped improve peoples lives.
I'd like to just run away from the hassles of doing things for money, and rather use my skills to create a better place. This may all sound weird and unlike me, but I just have a gut feeling like I was supposed to do this, and my brain has been making these stupid errors just to make sure I went down this path and not another.
