Can it come any sooner? And it's only two weeks in the semester.

No, I had these strange thoughts in electronics lab today. I want to be a history professor, but I'm randomly spending time on circuits that will be forgotten after I graduate. So why am I going through the frustration of trying to get a Schmitt Trigger Comparator to trigger? Oh, that's right, I wanted to be a dual major in electrical engineering and history for some odd reason.

There are many days when I question my sanity. I've been thinking, if I want to run for student government president I'm going to need a whole lot more time on my hands to deal with all the issues that come with that job. And I'd have a much easier time focusing on history...

But then I was talking with my mysterious suitemate Phil (aka [livejournal.com profile] wldntulk2knwwho) and the internet guru Stu on the way to lunch.

Me: I've been thinking about dropping one of my majors...
Stu: Which one would that be?
Me: The one that has the least to do with what I want to do later in life.
Phil: I only have one response to that. After grad school, I want to go to Tokyo University.
(Phil and Stu both laugh)
Me: I don't get it
Phil: You say you want to drop one of your majors. I say that I want to to go to Tokyo U after graduation (he's been reading too much MegaTokyo lately). They're both stupid ideas.

I know it sounds a bit ridiculous to have gotten so far with my dual major only to drop it. But, there are days that I wish it were so. It's difficult switching gears between two disparate fields like history and engineering. I know deep down that I would regret not trying to make the attempt to get both majors. I don't know, maybe this week's just been especially draining so my pessimism has been allowed to roam a little too freely.
