i don't know what to do with my life.

this is what i have been considering the past 24 hours.


i am currently a psychology major with a sociology minor; however, i think i might do this:
 psychology major
sociology/advertising/french cluster (to take the place of a minor)


in order to have clusters become a minor, you only need two of them, and if i have to pick two, i would do sociology and advertising.  BUT, with all the french classes i have taken up at school, i only need one more to fulfill a french cluster, so what the heck.  why not do three.


the reason for this change is this:  i have always been interested in criminal psychology, a field in which sociology would be very useful.  but lately, i have been so interested in my roommate's advertising classes and found that a majority of psych majors actually go into advertising.  who knew they played such a big role in the way things are advertised?  not i.  i think it has the potential to be incredibly fun and would open up a lot more options career wise in the future.  and who doesn't love someone who speaks french.


i am a bit distressed about my future.  i need 19 more classes if i make these changes.  that's three semesters if i kill myself and do 7 classes one semester (at least 20 credits) and 6 classes the other two.  this has the potential to destroy me and my social life.  alas, i think it must be done.  


that's what's been going through my mind lately.


oh, not to mention i am so excited!  i am a part of a research group this semester and in a few weeks we get to go present at the RMPA (rocky mountain psychological association) conference up at school!  SO MUCH FUN.  and it can't hurt to have it on a resume... we are studying when students change their majors and reasons for why they change.  so far, it's been interesting.


i also love cocoa bean.  amber & jesseca, you need to go there and get the love potion frappe.  just saying.
