so i took all of my finals...
they went poorly. especially comp sci 351. my mind does not function the way it would need to to really understand algorithms. so i'm changing my major. i'm going to go into some visual arts major, most likely graphic design. i enjoy graphic design. i worked as a graphic artist for over a year. i just... i can't do this comp sci crap anymore. i love coding, coding is wonderful, but the complex math behind it? no. algorithms? no. so i'm done with it.
umcp has shit for graphic design classes. so i've withdrawn from umcp. next semester i'll be taking some art courses at the community college, and i'm going to attempt to transfer to a different university for the fall '05 semester. god this is scary. really really scary. jon thinks i'm brave for doing this. he thinks i'm a really strong person for going through with this. but i'm really really scared.
so i moved out of my dorm this past saturday. i rather liked my dorm. it was nice. it wasn't my parent's house, which is a major plus, because living with my parents sucks. my dorm was in a rather nice location, close to some good restaurants, it was like a minute away from the new friends i'd made this past semester... and i liked my suitemates, they were nice.
my dad's being really understanding about this. my parents both agree that changing majors and schools is the right thing to do; the problem they have is that i should have done it a long time ago. they're right, which sucks; i should have done this a long time ago. but i didn't, i'm doing it now. it sucks that so much time was wasted at umcp, but... i'm doing the right thing now, and that's what counts... right?
god i hope i'm doing the right thing. i hope this all works out. this is scary, and now more than ever i feel like i have no idea what i'm doing.
