Hmm, as a total aside:

I was a humanities major in college because I liked a cluster of professors and I just took their classes. My philosophy in school when I didn't know what I wanted to do was to just find interesting professors and take their classes, didn't matter in what. But three teachers left in one semester, and I dropped out because I realized I have no fucking idea what I want to do now, and I wasn't going to pay for school while I was figuring myself out. I wanted to know truly before I committed to another major.

And honestly, I want to give the harder sciences a shot. I think I have a good mind for it, and I like knowing and learning technical knowledge. It's rewarding. It's great to hear someone describe their engineering studies as fun. I love that!

edit: also, at the bottom of the link I posted, there's another link for the second half of the list.
