What do I want to be when I grow up?

So college orientation happened last night.  I successfully registered for my first class.  I got my student ID.  My head is spinning a little bit.

Now I have a giant decision to make.  Do I want to stick with the original plan of a CIS degree or go all the way with Computer Science?  It would mean three more math classes overall.  But the majority of classes do overlap.  It's not like I have to make this decision immediately.  I still have a ways to go on my generals.

I'm so relieved to be able to take upper level classes.  I'm starting with a 300-level anthropology course online.  I'm OK with it but there are other courses I'd rather take.  There are a few sociology/religion classes that I'd be thrilled to take but they don't overlap two or more of my gen-ed "goals."  Part of me wants to say fuck it, I'm taking them anyway, because work is paying for my school.  But I also don't want to be in school for the next ten years just scratching away at these goals.  I'm going to see how I do with this first class and if I think I can handle it I'll bump it up to two classes per semester.

Now that I've got a student ID and a .edu email address I'm looking forward to my sweet, sweet discounts.

I'm a college student.  That sounds weird.

Good for you! If you can get away with taking some of those really interesting classed, do it. It helps the whole experience go better if you really enjoy at least some of the classed you're taking.
Good luck, and let me know if there's anything I can help you with.
