For the past week I have been furiously searching the depths of my mind to find out what I would like to do next year in Uni. Not at all phased by the fact that this decision will most likely shape the rest of my life I started to look at my options.
There were... a lot.
An unseemly amount.
More than one.
Doing a double degree I also had to sort through the different combinations which, needless to say, there were a lot of.
Confused I resorted to Jeremy logic.
Well I can narrow my options down by cutting out the types of Engineering that I don't want to do. 5 minutes later I returned with a list with nearly everything on it. Nearly everything I did not want to do was written down, all except for... no wait.
Yeah, everything was written down.
"Well damn," I thought to myself silently questioning why I am enrolled in this course, "Maybe if I look at the different science majors and check their compatibility with the engineering courses I can narrow it down via that method."
What followed was another 5 minutes of indecisive decision making.
'Ah screw it," I thought, "I'll just close my eyes and point."
Useful for ordering at restaurants, deciding what book to read and now changing ones life.
So now, I address you all as a student at the University of Western Australia doing Electrical Engineering and Nanotechnology.
To be honest, I'm not that thrilled about Electrical. I would rather have done something more physical, more mechanical but this was the only engineering that is compatible with Nanotechnology.
And I believe Nanotechnology's awesomeness blocks out Electrical's.... anti awesomeness...
Even though most probably the jobs that pertain to Nanotechnology all reside in making sunscreen but give it 5 years and they'll have started making tiny exoskeletons for tadpoles. THEN I CAN RULE THE WORLD!
Of course there was the tiny problem of reenrolment that loomed above me.
Looking at the website I had the sudden urge to kill some people online, which I did.
Returning two days later I tried to tackle this momentous task again. Ignoring all the minor issues regarding majors and programs and core units I started selecting units randomly.
'Maths seem good, neh, may as well do Quantum Physics as well."
My logic was flawless, my reasoning sound, my stomach a little bit hungry and my brain a little bit running dry on ideas... much like now.
So I will leave you be now.
