A word to the impulsive people out there: when having an impulse born of great despair or sudden mood swings, consult/tell as many sensible people you know about it before actually doing anything about it. Trust me, you'll save yourself a lot of trouble if someone talks you out of doing something you'll later regret.

What brought this on? This morning, I received results of two hourlies. Miserable marks. Abysmally dismal. That sort of rhymes. However, wallowing in my misery and walking along corridor of the fourth floor, I formulated a rather rash (in retrospect) and impulsive plan to quit BCS and join BBA instead. Why not, I asked myself since there was nobody else in the corridor. If I just can't do math and science, why not quit and join a business degree instead, since concepts and graphs I can deal with? However, I would have to start from scratch and that meant about two and a half years wasted on an incomplete computer science degree. As an alternate plan, I thought, a BA in literature would be fun and educational. Maybe I could do my masters in the same and then even a Ph. D! The gateway to possibilities has swung open once again! Once the class I had left behind to do all this thinking in the corridors was declared on an official break, I hastened to the Coordinator to inquire if my oddly spun plan was even possible. The man is a genius. If he had a fan club, I would join it without delay. A good long talk about the possibility of a half year delay instead of a one year delay in my graduation brightened up my whole day and made me able to return to my math class (break had been over for ten minutes) and not stare depressedly at the floor.
