Oh man I remember that being among the eariliest videos I saw on a PC :O
Anyways, the feeling of terror is slowly rising as I get closer to letting people know that I'll be leaving college. Going to do it piecemeal so I can handle all the potential arguments thrown my way without getting overwhelmed and giving in. However good their arguments are this is not something I want to change my mind about. I have been mostly unhappy for the past year and a half and most of that can be traced back to the fact that I like learning stuff which interests me and at my own pace. The college system of education is not something I particularly like, added to that is the fact that this (electrical engineering) while interesting is not something I find myself being terribly in love with. That and all the math makes me sick most of the time.
It's going to be tough going up against my mom that's for sure, not sure how I'll handle that one, she's a rather tough nut, dad is going to be somewhat easy, he's more supportive, if not always approving. After that comes the grueling expirience of looking for a job, hopefully my uncle will be sympathethic enough to try and help me in this, if not, it's going to be even scarier.
But, all in all, this is something I really want, my current state of mind and being is not something I'm content with and I don't see it changing to anything better if I just keep slogging away at it, so a drastic change is required, that's not something I terribly like but it's a neccessary thing.
