Can't turn back now

a rocket launched,

a cork popped,

a roller coaster lap belt secured,

a concrete poured,

a plane on the runway,

there's no turning back now.

Once again, the semester has begun, and like every semester before it, we've past the point of turning around, changing classes, and trying again. The challenge is on!

I'm already procrastinating and behind on my work. I often struggle to say no to socializing. Knitting has become my downfall; it's really difficult to pass up a night of stitching and a movie. Okay, maybe it's only difficult for me to pass up.

Realistically, I'm not actually behind on my work either. I'm just really interested, so I wish I had more time to get ahead. I'm taking some fascinating classes. Such as, my Quantitative Neural Function course. I'm so excited to learn all the intricate details of the brain. I love that not everything is known about the brain; there's a sense of adventure invoked when learning that the precise function of something is unknown. Okay, so again, maybe it's just me...

But, here's my big tidbit of knowledge for college: Pick a major you love. Choose something which invokes a sense of adventure when you think about attending classes. When I entered college as a freshman, I was going to a liberal arts school, and I had chosen everything based on how I was going to get into medical school. I abandoned my love for math and science... because someone told me going to medical school would be smart and would guarantee me a job someday. It's not a surprise I became bored quickly. So, I made a change; I transferred to Illinois Institute of Technology to try something else. Since, I've fallen in love with engineering. I love my classes, hence, why I show up to them (I wasn't so good at showing up in liberal arts school). Alright, that's enough, I'll step away from the lectern.

Take Off,
