[slumber]

I am sick. My nose is runny and my throat is sore and my head hurts and I'm missing two classes and I had to rush a take-lunch quiz for Accounting. *flops*

ALSO.

I got a shifting form from my college. I've been planning to switch course since last semester, and I only found the courage to start doing anything now. I got into an Accounting program because I thought it had Business courses in it too, so you know, getting both would be getting a fall back for one or the other, right? Except. The course I got only HAD Business in the name; it really WAS just all Accounting. My plan now is to shift to the plain Business course, which is what I'd wanted all along. (Well, not really, if it were up to me I'd have taken Creative Writing or Psychology something, BUT it's what I THOUGHT I was getting into.)

The problem is the parents. These are the people who wanted their children to take up Medicine, who were pleased I wanted to be a lawyer, who made derisive comments about me being a high school guidance counselor when I told them I wanted to take up Psychology, whose primary concern in their children's choice of career is not just how much money it makes but whether it has a title or not too. SO YES. Shifting to Business IS a big deal, just because I don't get 'CPA' at the end of my name afterward.

There's no way I'm sticking to Accounting though. I just need to find a way to talk to them and tell them about it, preferably before I really DO go through with shifting, as that's probably only going to infuriate them more.

Any ideas, flist?
