Brrrrrr

I officially hate snow.

I have always had a dislike for cold weather, i would rather be hot than cold. And i think Christmas/christmastime is always prettier and better with snow on the grounds but that is it. December and January should be the months with snow; no more after or before then.

I think college makes you hate snow more because you either have to walk in it or wait for the bus in it or drive in it. In my case, i have to walk and wait in it. Ironicially enough, one of the worst snow/cold times for me is having to walk from my calculus lecture in Swain East which ends at 2:15 to X158 in the Academic Center which starts at 2:30. Not pleasant in the slightest. Another reason i can not wait for warm weather and spring and all that comes with it.

Waiting for the buses in the cold, wind, and snow is annoying and freezing but i have learned to pay attention to when the buses arrive, at least the times it comes around to the dorm, so i know that if i can time it right enough i wont have to wait for very long which is always appreciative. But then i always came to realize that in the mornings, the first bus that comes around is already 85% full so if you do not get on that one, you have to wait another 5-10 minutes for the next bus and then you're hurrying to get to class which just so happens to mean walking fast in the snow and worst of all slush. Slush is gross and messy and annoying.

Today was a day to hate snow. The boots i wore are apparently not very durable or thick because all the snow and slush and water that got onto them and didnt get knocked off when i walked, melted onto the shoe which just so happen to melt through the shoe and soak my socks and make my feet and toes frozen and numb.

Glorious day for snow.

I blame the groundhog.

This is literally the first blog ever written in all of my 18 years but it is required for class and considering I am taking this class because I am on probation, I feel the need that its not a subject to be forgotten about.

This blog is dedicated to my on-going decisions being made this past week. Ironically enough these decisions are about school and my major. Currently, my major is biochemistry which is so stressful and hectic but I'm premed so for me its natural to have a science major. But certain circumstances from first semester are making me re-think my major decision. During freshman orientation, me and my parents were sitting in a classroom listening to a law teacher talk about law school and med school and the fact that was really interesting was that he told us that the top majors students had when accepted into medical school weren't even science based, they were history or psychology.

So this week I really put effort into thinking about switching majors. While biochemistry holds a lot of promise into medical school, the idea of switching, personally, to psychology really peeks my interest. Psychology is in all honesty a little less work but still gives the advantage for medical school. While deciding on my major, I have also been deciding that if I switch to psych that i might pick up a minor in physics or chemistry too. I know I just said having biochem as a major was a lot of work and now I'm talking about switching majors and picking up a minor but I really have looked into it all and there are certain classes required to take for psych or their an option as electives for a BS in psych that will fulfill half of my duties for a minor.

So while I still have many decisions to make about all of this, I am really thinking switching might be in my interest. Of course, if someone is currently a psych major tells me its not so easy I will be open to hearing what they have to say.

Thanks for reading.....I know it probably wasn't very exciting :)
