my good friend paul just changed his major from cs (which he didn't like) to international relations (which he does). i'm sure its been percolating for him for a while, and he did credit the sudden-inspiration fairy, but i like to think that my indecisive-liberal-arts-hippie-girl visit on friday was sort of a catalyzing factor.


of course, he says he wants to use his degree to go into business or banking. but hell, if he gets a year of satisfying classes out of it, that's something. every step in the right direction is a good step.


and besides, while neither business nor banking appeal to me as such, they must be the perfect careers for someone. who am i to judge?
