Passion

Dear meat heads

I have been burning my brain because of something and now you're going to hear it! I am in college for 3 weeks now (4 actually) and I am still clueless to what I should choose as a course... In 4 days TIME the third phase of course applications will begin (it's the last call). I am currently in the Artistic Studies course, and seriously: I am not liking it so much -.- Some classes are cool... but overall all you do is learn history AND I HATE HISTORY...

I guess that I lack passion.... Passion seems to be the thing that drives human beings to work and to pursue dreams... I am scared shtiless because I can't find mine x(

So I am thinking of choosing another course... that is: Modern Languages

Basically you learn about two languages of your choice, including literature of their respective countries... This is cool because I love the English language and Brittish costums. I find myself (most of the time) thinking in English and I rarely write anything in Portuguese.

Now, the catch-22 of this is that Modern Languages course is easier for me, so my father dreads it and thinks that I am only interested in it because he knows that I kick-ass at English, and therefore, I am choosing the easy road -.- He prefers that I choose Journalism... Or that I stay in Artistic Studies.

I don't disagree with him. I am lazy. I don't like to read much... But I think that we should give things their due time... By this I mean that perhaps I have still a lot to grow... maybe in the near future I will take interest in exploring the History of Art... and maybe I'll develop reading habits! But until then... well I think I rather choose a road that I know that I would enjoy, instead of gambling it with Journalism or "torturing" myself with interesting and somewhat boring matters of Art History.

I know I consider myself an artist, but that doesn't mean I have to live out of it to be happy. :) (Artistic Studies could grant me a chance to be a musical producer, which would be really nice...)
