Planning.

I'm desperately trying to figure out what I want to major in and how to go about doing this. At this moment I'm thinking about environmental science with a double major in environmental thought and practice. Environmental science is, obviously, science and math heavy, while thought and practice is more... thoughtful? I don't know. It's more like the policy class I took, and that I loved. After 4 years I could transfer to the law school and go into environmental law. Wouldn't that be nifty?

Basically I think it'd make me pretty well rounded.

But it'd be tough. Really tough. I need the 4 core classes, 2 semesters of calc, a year of chem, a year of biology, a semester of physics. That's just for the science major alone, not counting the electives and hours required. I'm pretty sure I can't even survive calc and the science classes. They're all designed to be ridiculously hard in order to weed out the pre-med kids. This is hardly fair. I could have gone to Wise, gotten straight As and been accepted into any grad program I wanted. Instead I chose the competitive school where I will only ever be average, or below average. Who knows. I like to think I'm smart.

The ETP major is a little more lenient, but the program is difficult to get accepted into. They only take 15 a year.

I've been trying to plan the courses to take over the next 3 years. It's sadly inevitable that some of them look like I'll have way too many science and math courses loaded together. =/

I am stuck, Sarahtonin! Tell me what to do in life!

If all else fails I'm transferring to the education school and becoming an elementary school teacher. Fo rizzle.

  1. What you should do in life is...
    what you want. It's up to you weather all that is worth it or not. Personally, I'm a lazy bum and it wouldn't be to me. I also don't see the point in two majors that appear to be basically the same thing. But I'm sure you've looked into this and know a lot more about what you're getting yourself into than I do.
    And. Classics. Are fun and probably not as demanding. But again, I haven't looked into this as fully as you have.
    Fate will figure something out for you eventually. If you want things to work out hard enough, they will no matter what. That's what I believe. And if they don't, it just wasn't meant to be.
