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.

A lot of parents seem to get annoyed when we decide to change our minds in college. But when I think about me at 16 and me at 20, very few things that I loved when I was 16 were still things I loved a few years later. Why should picking a career have to stay the same forever? College is the best opportunity to make a new decision. It's tough though, I think.

I hope your day gets better Em.

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.

Me too. That can't be an easy desicion

Posted: 2/11/06 at 3:10pm

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.

Well look at me. I started out doing journalism at university last year, and decided it wasn't for me. So this year I took English, but hated that, too. I have absolutely no idea where my life is heading!

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.

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

so what are you studying now em?

[CanadianSnowbird]

Posted: 2/11/06 at 3:17pm

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.

NO ONE is trying to push you away. Don't let some little ****head on LJ make you feel that way - someone who doesn't even have the balls to say anything to your face.

*breaths* That felt good to get out.

parents are always stressful, and don't let people who don't even *know* you get you down. It's supposed to blizzard tonight so just relax with some hot cholate and a movie or something and try to feel better =).

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.

I think we need to do an Adam thread Velentine's Day thing. I don't know what, but we could all use a little love. Any suggestions?

Let us all share in my joy for a quick second: I was watching TV, and they were talking about chocolate. I really, really wanted a chocolate bar, but, being sick, have not gotten out of my pajama's in a couple of days, and have been sitting here with water and Kleenex (since my nose seems to have joined the sicky party, ugh). Anyway, just as I was contemplating a quick run across the road for some chocolate, I heard a knock at my door. It was a man and his daughter selling chocolate bars for a child abuse charity. I bought two. Yum.

HOLY SH!T! ahhh....all of a sudden my parents are like "Oh..by the way..we can't go to the book signing, Dad has work" are you kidding me! >O

Em- go relax, and try not to worry about what your parents think, because only you can say for sure what's in your heart. I've had trouble picking a major, and my family is huge, and everyone has to have the last word to get their two cents in. I've realised now that I have to lisen to me first and then take in their opinions if I am questioning myself.

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.
