well, after looking at the numbers today, for the first time in my life, i’m actually going to fail all of my classes this quarter.
for some reason i don’t think i’ll be wanted up at u.c.s.b. next quarter.
Well, as of this weekend, I’ve realized a few things things…
1) I don’t want to go to law school and/or be a lawyer
2) I have little to no interest in philosophy anymore
3) I’m going to be lucky to even barely pass my classes this semester
4) I will almost certainly fail out of school if I stay in the philosophy major
5) I will not meet the minimum GPA necessary to maintain my scholarships and I am unsure as to the specifics of any probationary period pertaining to my scholarships, thus, I will probably lose them
6) I have no clue whatsoever what I would prefer to major in
I’m sure there’s more, but those are the key points.
So, any thoughts on what I should do with my life? P.S. stay in school and finish the philosophy degree is not a viable answer, see points #1-6 above.
I find myself once again believing that College is not the right place for me.
College is for people who can commit to something, people who can work through four or more years of the same bullshit.
I just can’t do that. Even if I were sure that I could, I’m not sure
that I would want to.
I can’t think of anything in this world that I’d be willing to dedicate four or more years to, and certainly not a ton of meaningless busy work and droll reading of ramblings by useless authors and scholars who have not done and will never do anything to actually change the world we live in.
well, while i’m sure this will disappoint some of my extended family, (whom I’m going to see in a few short hours) I just finished registering to attend U.C.S.B. (Santa Barbara) this coming fall.
when push comes to shove, in ten years my undergraduate institution will not matter, and in 2 years, my applications to law school and/or graduate school will stand a better chance of being accepted if my scores on the LSAT/GMAT/GRE are high and my GPA is high, which I have a better opportunity to achieve at UCSB, where their financial aid package is going to cover the total cost of my education without loans or work-study. Plus since I’m a “Regents Scholar” I am automatically enrolled in the honors program.
Bleh… time to shower and get ready for a long drive…
p.s. if you notice any weird blogs over the next few days its most probably temporary while i iron out the kinks of posting to my blog from netnewswire
