How You Know You Picked the Right Major

I am no longer struggling my way through physics.  I have moved on to a much better subject.  Anatomy and Physiology.  A quick note about that picture, the study guide isn't even done yet.

For the past two days I have been struggling to get myself to study physics.  Now, I actually like physics.  I think its pretty cool.  I like it best when I can do the math.  I can't always do the math.

People who teach physics have a nasty way of just knowing how it works.  When they try to explain things to you they skip steps that are essential to understanding the result.  This happens in math too.  My frustration with physics stems from this: worked out quizzes with the solutions.  They cite an equation, say "hence" and have the answer, supposedly proven.  It takes about 10 minutes to figure out that hence.

Times like this I question why I picked the major I did.

The point of this is that I am now studying biology.  Not physics.  I have been more productive in the past few hours with this subject than I had been previously.  This can be measured - by the number of breaks I take.

So how do you know you picked the right major?  Well, even though I hate studying and its like pulling teeth to get me to start, I secretly couldn't wait to start going over this material.

After all, the brain is pretty cool.
