But I stopped taking grades personally a long time ago. especially when i disengaged myself from my self-worth taken from one dimension of my life. With that said, there is also the factor of 'trying' which, as any arrogant bastard would disclaim, is also a factor here. But I suppose 'trying' and 'interest level' are definitely correlated and so that's where I bring in my point. Keep in mind, I started my college career as a biology major. I am now an Ecology/Behavior/Evolution major, which is a division of Biology with less of a focus on mitochondria and more of a focus on wildlife populations and migrations and things that are just simply more interesting. I am also too late in my major to switch to what I have apparently suddenly realized to be my passion- ART/Creative design. I am three quarters out from graduating, no plans whatsoever with my biology degree, and yet just on the side I have been pursuing, and very recently, getting paid for, design work.
Without further adieu, and leaving judgment and shame at the door here..
