I was just reminded how cool I thought the Cognitive Science major was.

I'm such a nerdy academic at heart :-\.

nerdiness, school, major

Hrm... how hard would it be to transfer into that major and still graduate?

Well, it would definitely be easier to do so if I hadn't started classes already this term. At this point, it would involve taking 4 courses next term, 4 the term after that, and 5 the term after that. 5 just might be suicide, or at least homicide of the GPA, even if 4 of them are 3 units. (I can't imagine how I managed 5 in JC... ah, the days...)

I'm not really unhappy with the major I'm pursuing (can't even claim to have declared yet, how sad), I'm just too interested in other things to be happy staying put. I almost majored in Psych, which is probably what I'd focus in in CogSci, and I've always had a special fondness for Anthro, too... Really, it's just the nerdy academic in me.

Unfortunately, a desire to understand the enigma of economics does not translate directly into an ability to do so =P. But I'm getting there...

It's definitely not the direction I would have said I'd take with my life if I'd been asked 5 years ago. Or 2 years ago. I guess that's a reason I doubt it.

Well, I guess there's always grad school... =)
