The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, part six — Page 79

I read with caution. For some things I really don't care- like Rent. I didn't mind looking at clips because I know the story so well, I don't really care about "surprises" that I might miss out on if I hear about it before hand. But some things, like Anthony's book, I didn't want to know anything about. I wouldn't even read the excerpt that was posted until I knew it was from the very beggining because I wanted it to be in context. I wanted to read it the way it was meant to be read.

I have no idea what I want to study in college.

That's ok, Mel. I think finding a place where you can feel comfortable to try a couple things and see what you enjoy and can see doing for years is ok.

Aw, Em. I hope everything works out. It's unfortunate that you have to deal with all of the internet drama plus the stress from your parents.

Karma is CLEARLY a bitch, and I think maybe I should just start sitting in my bed staring at the walls to avoid from further generating bad karma.

I feel like sh*t.

My parents are fine with the fact that I changed my mind, but my mom just doesn't want me to regret having done it. The decision was hard for me to make, so I'd prefer to just put it away and keep it away. Now my mom says I should study what I want to here and then go on and do what I originally wanted to do... but your education's got to in some way point to where you want to go.

I started off as a history major getting an honours degree and then going to teachers college. Now I'm just getting a regular degree then going to college for ECE. I can't write papers, which is all I do in history. I'm just trying to finish this degree up and move on, it's just so hard.

I feel like now what's going on here and what my parents just said is all sort of... convening. Because it's all trying to push me away.

*slumps*

I think maybe I should go take a hot shower and chill out. Stuff in my room is making me crazy.

Aww, don't worry about it Em. I think with what happened last night, it's affecting how you're interpreting everything else. I'm sure they're just concerned for you. My parents always ask me questions about everything, simply because they have no idea what's going on in my life, or what it's like to be in University. It pisses me off a lot, because I don't like telling them every detail, especially my marks, but it's simply because they want to know what's going on.

::random:: Mel what is your avatar *feels dumb*

In high school, I did a lot of work to prepare to study cognitive psychology and learning in animals. It's fascinating, but when I got to school, I realized that to major in neuroscience, I had to take more science and math courses than I wanted to. I love the field, but I don't love the hardcore basics of what I NEED to get a degree in it. If I had gone to school somewhere else, I probably would've done it because of my love for the subject, and because there wouldn't have been anything to help me turn my hobby of seeing shows into something bigger. But being at liberal arts school and being in New York helped me figure out what I wanted to do other than that I'd love to sit in history classes all day long. So right now, I think I want to study American History (focus on the 20th Century) and theatre theory/arts criticism.

I always thought my parents would be like "that's nice, honey, but you need to do something more... legitimate." Thankfully, they weren't. Both my parents studied computer science. I just don't like being asked questions like that, because I wanted to put it away and be done. Ultimately, I know they just don't want to see me regret the choice, but... I don't want to think about it for now. Or maybe at all.

It's oddly coincidential.

awee, well do whats going to make you happy. I want to take a class next year called Modern Drama. You study theater and plays. Obviously I'm interested in theater so I thought it might be cool to learn about that. My mom told me I should find a way to do something with theater when I'm older, but I wouldn't know what.
