Peace out, math

[eyefragment]

I think I'm going to switch my focus from math to computer science.   I'll still go forward major in both math and CS -- I'm close enough to finishing the math major, and, after all, majoring in math is like having "smart" stamped on your forehead.  Still, this quarter has undoubtedly pulled a number on me.  I guess it can all boil down to one

Whoa, watch the nested meta-thought there. It's not healthy. Trust me.
And I'll add you to the growing list of people who have retreated from math in the last, say, year or so. It's kind of notably long.

I feel like I should say more, but it's 3am.

I remember how hard it was to make the decision that I did not want to be a physicist, to accept that Physics had become a chore rather than a source of joy, and to have to make that decision more than once (when applying for grad school in math, when choosing my research, when giving up on understanding String Theory...)

Now, in perspective, I can tell you one thing: it was a damned good decision, and it has brought more happiness to my life in the long term than the anxiety it brought when I had to make it.
