being a bio major sucks. i love my actual bio classes, but the peripherals: chem, o-chem, biochem, and physics -- seem too daunting. not to mention my motivation problems -- I don't know what it is in me that makes me conclude that watching arrested development is more worthwhile than chemistry homework.
conclusion: complaining about lack of self-discipline is much easier than doing anything about it.
human development this is the stuff i'm really interested in. how humans think and feel, and why they think this way -- from both a social and biological perspective. all of the courses here sound awesome. i've a deep interest in evolutionary psychology -- that's why i decided to be a bio major, because i thought that getting a biological perspective on these issues would be more valuable.
economics i want to study human behavior -- i guess this is what it all boils down to. the underground man would seethe at me. i've been told i'd be a good econ major, mostly because i'm really cynical sometimes. i think a lot of econ is observing intuitive inclinations and extrapolating results, and I'm more of an intuitive person.
cinema + media studies i want to make movies. i like photography, and i like telling stories. not much else to say, since i don't know much about it.
big problems all the courses in here sound awesome. and this sounds superficial, but i can just imagine myself making the cocktail party rounds, "yeah, i majored in big problems at the university of chicago."
visual arts minor, for sure.
since becoming a photo editor of the chicago weekly, i've shot almost nothing for myself. part of this is due to my camera. with a bulky dslr, how can i catch the little moments that i caught so effortlessly with a handheld silver point-and-shoot? i miss going into the city and taking pictures of strangers unaware of my presence.
