Today I received several things which served as a wake-up call; for one thing my week long headache has disappeared which means I am fit to exist again. Then I received the happiest bank statement I have ever seen, because now I know for sure there is enough money for classes Spring semester. I am probably going to take Abnormal Psych, Criminology, and Cultural Anthropology.
It makes me a bit sad not to be taking in or majoring in science, but not sad enough to change anything (again). To be honest, I have about had enough of the way science works academically. All but one of my profs at Miami had this aura of...not quite arrogance, it was something like what you get from super-religious people, ironically. Contempt for outsiders? And an underlying assumption that everyone else is a moron (or damned to hell for all eternity). Exceptionally ironic. Then there is the fact that you look throughout all of history and no one ever believes new discoveries or even remains open, especially in the scientific community. Everyone is so close minded; I do not want to be subjected to that in any arena where I cannot immediately act on it, to them, directly. In as kind a way as possible, of course, seeing as pushing my ideas and facts would be hypocritical at best.
This is coming from the girl who spent all of her life wanting to be an astrophysicist or quantum physicist. It is not that I really have any hang ups with scientists themselves, I just do not like the way the show is run and would rather be involved with discovery in my field rather than maintenance of our conduct. :P
Gah. Anyhow, I am meanwhile hoping that I get a job as server at Chili's-- betcha I can make bundles in tips if I am in a fairly personable mood. Though I will most like dump someones dinner all over them at least once, or forget things routinely. Woe. This is why I wanted to find a lovely and quiet job at a library. The worst I could do there is get crushed by stacks. And I'm sure they have insurance for that.
Supernatural one tonight, then White Collar, then Merlin......hooray! I must hunt down food now, as I am exceptionally hungry. And my headache is returning.... D:
