<-- hehe, now who could this be? ^^

Gah, so much to deal with right now. X . x 

One rather important thing being my major. 

Well...in all my science classes I've endured enough to realize I am not meant for the white lab coat.  I truly don't belong in biochemistry.  It's not that I couldn't do it well enough...it's that I'm not exactly bent on being locked away somewhere remote in a research facility for the rest of my life.  

I'm one of those uber sci-fi obsessed individuals who thought they could actually pull off creativity in the lab as well as write about it in science fiction.  Ha.  I'm quite content to write extensively about sci-fi instead.  That I'll never give up. ^^

There's just so much crap to wade through in science: creativity is snuffed out by scientific methodology & idiotic cynical paticularities of the fellow scientists themselves before anything at all can happen.  Grr.  *growl*  -.-

Sitting in on Mellor's intro to drawing class has reminded me of how much I do belong in the arts.  Everyone's been so kind to me, letting me slip in under Mellor's wings, & actually enjoy life.  And all the little encounters with fellow artists and writers around me make the calling rather clear.  Not to mention I'm drawing all the time all over my chemistry, biology, & other notebooks at every "spare" moment.  And if I'm not doodling, I sure as heck am doing photography or writing on my stories instead of all that science homework. ;)

The parents don't know yet.  My mom will be alarmed, but ok after a little bit.  My dad will kill me.  But it's my life, I'm tired of pretending I can do this.  I'm feeling called down another path...whether there is room for sympathy or not. :)  I'm going to finally set myself free to fly. 

So, God willing:

Major: Art...in illustration or photography with a lot of painting & comic/manga work thrown in

Minor: Creative Writing...need experiment & continue improving for my sci-fi, fantasy, & other novels

<-- me without science

Thanks fellas.  *steps down off box*  Just had to get that off my chest.  O______o

You guys rock!
