The cost of getting what you want, is getting what you thought you wanted

[403]

I've come to the realization that both my major and minor are in subject areas that I don't want to pursue for a living. All of my classes this semester are in either my major or minor field of study. So what do I do for the rest of this semester?

Yikes. That's scary.

(...and kind of how I ended up with an art degree...)

After the initial "Oh shit, what do I do now?" moment, I realized that it's an opportunity to escape from Arizona a year before I thought I'd be able to. (And I really want to do that. Enough so that it's made Hotel California the theme song of my past ten years.)

I've a history of realizing that major life choices aren't working out, and then going to do something else. Fortune favors the bold. :)

Wait, what were you planning to do before you hit on the idea of making music?

Physics.

(As it is I have computer science/math and art. And a couple of genetics papers from graduate school that got out the door. But I don't have any post-graduate degrees. I'm a project defense away from a master's but said eh, fukkit.)
