I guess I don't really understand why my parents insist (as much as they can) that I study science. I know that money is somewhat of a consideration; they are not very prepared for retirement and want me to pick up the slack. Other than that... I just don't know. I've told them about a few of the things I've been considering, and the response hasn't been great. The only thing they approved of was medicine (I realized something like two weeks into the semester that that just wasn't going to happen, thankfully had kept other things in mind all along); when I mentioned going into psychology or education, they would just say that I couldn't work with people because "you just don't talk to them." (It's at this point that I really wonder how much they know about my life... sure, I'm a little quiet, but definitely have no trouble with speaking to people.) I'll try and see if I remember anything, because this is honestly puzzling me.
