Academics

Key question: to what extent should my classes be classes I struggle and learn in. At the moment, I don't have clarity on my path after college and I don't think classes are going to bring me that. I like some stuff and want to learn more of it, like logic, but don't think there's any point spending many hours on classes otherwise.

The argument is that classes seem to give me no signal whatsoever of what I want to do. There's a lot of stuff that is interesting and fun to know; I like learning, but nothing anxiety relieving thus far. On the flip side, one might say that 1) classes aren't supposed to do that 2) perhaps they will if you give things more time 3) perhaps your effort has been lacking in class. 3) is plausible independently: I probably haven't been an ideal student for any class in the past three semesters. Closest I came was for multivariable calculus given how much I enjoyed that class.

Anyways. All of this seems to point to the inevitable conclusion that I should concentrate on my major classes and take a bunch of fun and easy ones otherwise. It would be pretty ideal to do everything and take "interesting" classes, but I seem to have an early hunch (that tells me how I'll feel about the class long term) that I've thus far not really utilised very well, and I think it's time to start trusting it.

Hence: set theory, mathematical logic, (intro modern phil, arch creativity, physics of atom, balkan music, hindi).
