Changes: The first semester of my sophomore year, and how I changed my major (which isn't big news for anyone but me)

I'm back although I can't assure that it will be for long, my months of near total silence are caused by school. While I still have enough free time to write updates, I no longer have the, often times, mind-numbing boredom of the summer to spur me towards writing. Tonight, however, I am avoiding writing a Theology paper due tomorrow, by being "productive" I've already organized my bookmarks folders and tidied up the tabs I have open (which is a lot, after tidying up I still have over fifty tabs open and I cut more than I kept).
Rather than slogging through all that's happened in the last couple months, I'll just rush right through it.

1. Got married (you if you've been reading my blog, you already knew that, but I still thought it was worth mentioning since I never wrote a post about it like I intended). 
2. Moved across the state as I headed back to school (While the trip across the state for school was nothing knew, it's different when you're moving into an apartment rather than a dorm, and this time it was with the understanding that I'm not going back, it's not just a temporary stay away from home but a relocation of the place I call home). 
3. I started my second school year (taking my heaviest credit load yet). 
4. I turned twenty-one, and while I'd tried alcoholic beverages before during trips outside the US, going out to the bar with some friends and my older sister was a knew experience, and I had twice as many drinks as I'd ever had in one sitting. (Thankfully I still avoided a severe hangover and merely had some mild nausea the following morning.) 
5. Finally, I switched majors, which is a pretty noteworthy because I jumped from fine arts to hard sciences. I haven't quite made up my mind yet, after next semester I might switch back, but for now I am a computer science major and loving it. 

What I love about being a computer science major, aside from the fact that I'm excelling at it, is the chance to solve puzzles in a creative manor. There's not necessarily a right way to make something work, although there is an abundance of wrong ways, it's just a question of whether or not the program does what you want, and often times what you want from it is loosely defined and can be shaped according to the approach you take. I get to utilize the part of me that wants to analyze everything, while still retaining most of the creativity and freedom I felt as a writing major. Writing is still my first love, it's still my passion, but programming is incredibly fun and fulfilling. Both hobbies allow me to obsess, spending long hours staring at a computer screen trying figure out a solution, in some ways the differences seem less important than the similarities. I know this a terribly trite way to end this post, but I'd better get back to work on something that will get graded, hopefully in the near future I can devote some time to sharing my experiences with financial independence, who knows, this is a busy week, homework wise, I'll have several more opportunities to procrastinate before the weekend rescues me. Till then,
