Change of Majors
It’s official, I am now a software flunky, I changed my major this afternoon. I really don’t think this will be a bad thing for me. My software scores have been fairly high which if they continue will help my overall GPA. I really am not thrilled about the college that I have now joined. It’s kinda’ complex how UF does this, my hardware major was part of the College of Engineering. My new major is now part of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Needless to say this college’s standards are no where near as strict as the CoE (College of Engineering) and could be viewed by some as less prestigious. I guess that is the price you pay for not getting your shit together though. I would rather graduate UF with a decent GPA rather than allow it to suffer severely by staying in the hardware side. The statement that bothered me the most while talking to my new councilor was “Oh yeah, we take D’s no problem”. It will be interesting at least my classes thus far roll over into the new major with no problems (even the D’s). I asked Tim (I believe his name was) if I could afford to take this semester off (with the CoE I would have had to take classes to get off of probation) he said that would not be a problem. So, I doubt that I am going to take classes this next term. I still haven’t made a final decision I want to look at what classes are being offered. I have a limited selection due to the fact that I haven’t taken a prerequisite class yet that rolls into most of the software classes. I would really like to save up some extra cash this fall so that the move will be a little easier on me, but on the other hand I am ready to get school at of the way and done with and taking a semester off will not accomplish that. Anyways, that was the first part of my day. After getting all of that done I started getting ready for the little get together on Saturday, and starting to get things together for the trip to New York. I guess we are going to leave on Sunday which should put us up there late afternoon on Monday. My cousin wants to go to Niagara/Canada while we are up there so I guess the two of us will probably drive up there one day since it won’t be far from where we will be. I also have in the works to rent a couple of kayaks while we are up there. There are apparently quite a few good places to kayak close to the house, so this will accomplish one of my goals for being on vacation. Not sure what else will be going on but I am sure that we won’t stop much. During that week I am not sure how many times I will be able to update this blog, but I will try. I am going to close… I have another long day ahead of me. In addition to all of the crap I need to get done I also have to go and look at a co-workers computer (lucky me). ‘Till next time.
