Classes and future

My classes this semester are awesome. It may just be the change in the types of classes I am taking that makes them so exciting. Generally I have a very math based class schedule where I have to deal with some foreigner who barely knows English. This semester, however, all of my professors speak English fluently!

But it is more than the language barrier that makes this semester different. I have not had to read a book for a class since my first semester when I took US History. This semester, I have 5 books for history of soccer, yes you read it correctly, 3 for Holocaust, and a textbook with vast amounts of reading for theories of personality. Yet, somehow I really did miss doing all of the reading. I am just interested in everything, so this addition of something new is a kind of relief.

In fact, I am taking only one math course this semester, and it is problem solving, so it is exactly the type of math that I think is fun. I am having to go back through all of my old class books to try and find some of the stuff I had forgotten, which I think will help me review much of the material that I need to refresh.

On a side note, I am not sure of what I want to do with my life. I don't know whether graduate school in math is in my future, or if I am going to pursue a long standing wish to be a field agent in the FBI. I am not sure how helpful a math major will be in the second one, nor am I sure I want to be able to be transferred wherever the bureau wishes for my first 10 years of employment. I would, however, love the diversity of work that it offered as well as the ability to use several different types of skills. I don't know my plans, but I have a bit of time to discover them. Ah well, I have bored you long enough with my longer than usual post, so farewell until later.
