All about chemistry
Something I learnt today: I've been up for two hours, give me a break.
Something that made me laugh today: The many theories about why I go to Sparrows gigs.
Academic staff annoy me. They complain that no one ever e-mails them for help or rings or anything, and when I send out e-mail after e-mail asking questions about honours and third year subjects they all go quiet.
I'm currently facing a small dilemma about which subjects I want to study next semester. I'm contemplating dropping the microbiology projects subject and taking up a lecture based genetics one. Why? Because I like genetics and don't want to face 27 contact hours a week at the end of semester. Microbiology is hard. And often not as interesting.
But, the problem remains that I am an incredibly indecisive person and desire to leave open as many options for the future as I possibly can. Changing out of this microbiology subject may mean I can no longer apply for microbiology honours. Do I want to do microbiology honours? If I can't get into genetics.
But if I do change I wind up with one microbiology subject, 2 genetics and a fourth subject which is physiological genomics (very similar to genetics). So I remain with the fear that I'm going to get sick of genetics if I do that much of it. I don't want that to happen as it leaves me with only microbiology as an option and it's not all that fun.
So why do I insist as leaving it open as an option? Because I'm an idiot I guess. I did enjoy the micro prac subject last semester (and I did well) so part of me wants to leave enrollment as it is.
I'm so confused.

There is no harm in leaving your options open. After all, variety is the spice of life! And if you enjoyed what I assume is a similar subject, and you did well in it, then maybe you should leave things the way they are. As long as it wont hurt your chance of doing what you actually want to do, of course.
You're incredibly indecisive? What does that make me?
