5 more days..

Today I started this blog.

I received an email from my adviser from my college asking me to declare my major. Even though I'm only a sophomore, she said I'm on the right track taking all the necessary classes for my intended major so it was okay to do so early. But I wanted to change my major and then I started to get worried again. Worried about my future, what I would be doing with my life, and how to get where I want to be in my life. She went and changed my audit with my new major and minor and I became so discouraged looking at the new required classes. I called her and discussed a little bit more about it and I seem to be feeling much better.

My original major: Japanese

My original minor: Business and Korean

I thought about double majoring in East Asian Studies and Business.

I thought about minoring in Linguistics.

New major: East Asian Studies.

New minor: Business.

I also plan to either major or minor in Linguistics. She added it as a double major for now but it may change.

I love Japanese.

Not for the same reasons many other people are known to like it. I'm in it for the language, I find it interesting and fun, not to mention I ♥ the music. I'm in my third year of Japanese this coming year. I skipped the first year because during my senior year in high school I did an exchange for a year in Japan. It's what made me fall in love with the language. I plan to go back for another year during my senior year in college.

I am learning Korean because I like Koren music as well. I'm really bad at it to be honest, and Korean is VERY similar to Japanese, too. I'm scared to be taking my second year of it this year. I really don't remember anything.... But I also took up Korean because in the business world, especially when dealing with languages, it is best to know as many as you can. Knowing two languages will help you get further more than just knowing one.

I feel like I know how I'm going to plan my life out but I know even though I'm taking careful steps to help me out in the future, the grades and money will pull me down. Money is one issue that is separate from the topic for now but I know I need to keep my grades up, and I can get very lazy when it comes to studying. 

That's why this year I have to try my hardest.

Especially in Korean class. If I can't hold onto it, it's a lost cause.

But I want to continue it as a junior as well. That's why, this is my last shot.
