I hate how many decisions I have to make over the next 1-2 years.
I don't think that Peace Corps is an option. I would be ok with a one year commitment, but not a 27 month commitment. I do have things that I really want to do with my life.
I'm coming to the determiniation that I might have to go to college an additional year because of possible class conflicts. Because of this, if I go a fourth year, I'll be getting two minors on top of my 4 majors. I would definitely do a Spanish minor as I only need 9 hours to get that, so that's an easy addition. Besides that, there are a lot of options open to me. I could get a minor in Art History (18 hours), Energy Science (18 Hours), English (21 Hours), Geography (18 Hours), Physics (16 hours after summer), Politics (15 hours), or psychology (16 Hours) in LAS. I have a few options outside LAS, and I'm not sure how thrilled I am about those. I could do math, which would be 16 hours, or some kind of business thing which would be 18-24 hours.
I know there are a few that I do not want to do at all: Art History, Psychology, Business. Geography, Math, and the non-LAS options are not really big for me either.
If I had to choose some kind of order, this is what, right now, I would be interested in:
1) Energy Science, 2) English, 3) Politics, 4)Physics. Physics is really low because I would have to take calculus III, which I obviously do not want to take. Politics is low because it's so frustrating dealing with other students in the classes. English is kind of meh because it's so much I would have to take. Energy Science gives me some science to balance my three humanities/social science majors/minors.
I just don't know right now what the next semesters will bring work-wise.
Then on top of that, I have been somewhat discouraged. Despite doing well in my classes (for example, I am guaranteed to pass Chemistry, though with a very low D) so far, I think the overwhelmingness of it all has been beating me down. Aside from school and hospital work, there's very little that I actually do.
I would like some reassurance that the greatness I see for myself is worth compromising myself now. Perhaps I need another mountain escape to really figure out what the hell I'm doing. I need focus and concentration.
However, there are things hanging over my head for the rest of this half of the semester:
BIOL 321: 1 Lab, 1 Exam, 1 Case Study, 4 Attendances
BIOL 370: 1 Exam
CHEM 332: 3 Homeworks, at least 20 clickers, and a quiz
CHEM 334: 2 Labs and a Midterm
ANTH 104: Midterm, Assignment II, and Extra Credit junk
PES 111: 1 Homework+1 Exam
HIST 453: Midterm
HIST 300: Essay II
After that, things start going downhill. This weekend, I am definitely going to get a lot done, including my Bio Lab, a Chem HW, my Chem Lab for this week, all the outside of class Anthropology assignments, and my research for my second essay.
Perhaps I should go all sound of music again.
