I am (pre-)majoring in computer science and engineering. Basically, computers have a lot of potential, and I like working with them, so it seemed like a good idea to go into a major focused on them. Best of all, it's one of the several majors that leads into what I would like to focus on after graduation, which is nanotechnology.
I also want to major in biomedical engineering, as it also leads into nanotech (for medical purposes), but I'll have to drag my grades up a bit for that. I took some classes at a branch campus when I was 14, and although I did well in some classes, I didn't do so well in other courses. I mostly wasn't used to how a college works as compared to how middle school classes worked, so I ended up not turning in much homework (I didn't know that the teacher was even collecting it!) Apparently the only reason I even passed Psych 300 with a D because I managed to set the curve on most of the tests. Not to mention my grades last quarter were terrible, but I learned how to not pass my limit during the week of work and school, and I'm now actually able to study for classes and not sleep through exams!
I'm also going to try and minor in Japanese, mostly because I want to study in Japan at some point. Either Japan or Australia, although Australia has some fantastically disturbing animals that I'd rather just avoid. If I somehow strike it rich, I'd also like a home in rural Ireland. Ireland just has the best scenery in the world, in my opinion at least.
Ireland sounds nice, except for the weather. Though Japan sounds interesting, I don't think they are very open to outsiders unfortunately. Though I think it would be interesting to visit.
