college major

So today I decided to change my major after talking to this girl in the bathroom. We talked about studying abroad and wanting to learn different things and the complications of the college administrative red-tape. I told her about how I was going to be a physics major (back then it was I am) but how there wasn't really anything I wanted to do with the degree. I don't want to do research and I don't want to teach. Other than that I can't really think of much else I can do with the degree without getting another degree.

After our little chat she went to the bar and I went back to my room, suddenly thinking about why I couldn't be an East Asian Studies major instead. It is actually something that really interests me, as opposed to physics which I'm just simply good at (although that is slowly becoming a lie as I lose interest). But with an East Asian Studies major (or EAST for short) I could find so many more jobs without getting another degree; and that along with the fact that it interests me so much more makes it seem so much more appealing.

However, this writing has gotten me thinking, what if I actually don't have any talent for EAST. What if my talent lies solely in the sciences and the only reason I got better grades in humanities classes was that I put a whole lot more effort into them. I don't remember my ideas being any more original than anyone else's. I don't remember being able to analyze anything particularly well. Mostly I just said stuff that seemed obvious to everyone else.

I think, now that I think of it, I'm actually going to just declare both majors and see which one wins out.

(maybe I should be a psych major with all this thinking about thinking I do)
