Yes and no. I'm at MacEwan, and currently 4 years into a cluster**** of an academic career, with a currently stated major in political sciences and a minor in history. That first year is weighing myself down, but I enjoy what I'm doing now.
Honestly I sometimes wonder if I failed (well not really, but my grades were low enough that I adjusted my path. The only course I have actually failed so far is French, ugh), if I was lazy, or if I lack some inherent skill- or even if I'm just stupid. There was a long period of depression last winter caused by said thoughts, I think I'm past it.
In any case I'm pretty darned happy with how things are now, although I really do wish I had a job. I honestly feel guilty that I have student loan money and live with my parents, but don't have a job. Your tax money pays for my cell phone bills.
If I pursue a masters I'll probably transfer to the U of A, although the U of C has a strategic studies program that's very interesting. My plan is to graduate and try and find a job- and I'm including service with the armed forces in that. If I can get one that will pay my way through a masters, then I'll do that.
Ribberium Mempyre!
