My Operasince this poor neglected blog became something of a mini-time capsule for me...

Having totally forgotten opera, I just recently re-read things I had written as a freshman in college. It's a little weird since after that one period of crazy activity, most of the people I know on here kind of abandoned opera. Even weirder is seeing how my mood (even personality) has changed since then.
So to catch up (in case I come back in another two years...):
I'm about to begin my senior year (and hopefully last) as an undergraduate. I'm no longer math & physics...unless I decide to stay an extra year I will be one class shy of a physics major. Hence I've switched to math with a physics minor...adding in the spare computer science/chemistry class when I feel like it. My grades have become stranger since my freshman year; as a freshman I earned mediocre grades. Now I receive either outstanding or terrible grades (i.e. a semester full of A's...and one F). I attribute most of this poor performance to a surprising disinterest in homeworks.
So what do I do with my time? Hang out with friends, of course. ...two years ago I mentioned a psych major (ended up double majoring psych & chemistry...going for her PhD in organic chemistry this year)...well, she turned out to be one of my best friends, so that was a nice thing. The former-psych-turned-biochem ended up (just chemistry) and being my first horribly failed relationship. eh. And the physics major withdrew. (but he's still cool)
So now that all the lovely friends (and ex-boyfriends) that I made during my freshman year are leaving, what do I do? I make friends with the new kids, of course. So I begin a lovely (so far) relationship with a nice engineering major. He buys me tickets to concerts.
Somehow I've managed to become acquainted with many of this year's freshman class, so my last year should be promising.
Finally...what on earth do you do after graduating?? I'd love to go to grad school for more math, or maybe pursue a master's in engineering...although I wouldn't mind working in IT or teaching math for a while. I guess it boils down to me having no plans, which is one thing that hasn't really changed in two years.
...so I read over this and think I've become awfully boring in two years. Or maybe I mean subdued...
