I know, I had one conversation with a professor and I am claiming that it changed my life. In reality, it just solidified my decision that I might be doing the wrong thing.
An update: After constant unenjoyment of my joint program I figured I should take steps into deciding what I really want out of my education (instead of just 'I will just do this and get it done')...Over the last two weeks I have been spending time really narrowing on exactly what types of work I want to do, and where I want to be headed upon completion of my undergrad...stressful decision? I think yes.
The joint program I was in, although successful for most, didn't really 'capture' my interest as something I could ever do as a full time career, nor did I think it would lead me towards anything that I might enjoy doing...hence my decision to opt-out of this program at Christmas.
Yes, I will be switching to my honours MPI (Mit first, then onwards) and I will be trying to gear my electives at international based courses...as in: I want to work abroad...
I am going to apply for a university exchange hopefully to a third world country (I know, why not Italy, France, or Austrailia?) I am looking more for the experience and the study of a third world country, begin to analyze and see the big differences in the world. I am hoping that this new found 'path' in education will, in the end, get me to where I truly want to be.
So yes, a 2 hour conversation with an amazing professor led me to believe that I should be doing what I want right now, and I should do my best to get to where I want to be upon graduation right now...
so I'm doing it...
