Re-introducing Neal D

Since I began here at the crazy place called college, I find myself incredibly more busy than I would have expected. At first, this sounds like I'm overwhelmed and can't wait to go running back to my laxidazical ways at home but in fact, all of this invigorates me. While you expect that my classes are the main cause of my new and hectic life, I have actually found a good balance wth schoolwork and have branched out beyond it. I branched out a lot actually, maybe even too much.

Excited about all of my options on campus, once I saw that I could handle my classes, I immediately took to finding new things to do. Since these activities have consumed a lot of my time between practices, meetings, games, and performances. Still, I find enjoyment in all of these things and I even feel energized when I take on multiple tasks and activities at once just to fit them all in.

Along with these new clubs and groups to be a part of, in the end I have to turn back to the reason  am actually here: classes. Now is the time for choosing the very best of the classes for my Spring semester and I have to say, the word hectic hardly describes it. Maybe it's just me, but I have had definite decisions paired with second guesses for almost a month in preparation for this next semester. Part of my indecision with classes is also that I am starting to question my interests for my focus at college.

I came to Juniata loving languages. I am currently taking two foreign languages and am even considering taking a third. This is where the issue comes in. I'm supposed to be a joint German and Math major but at the moment, I find myself leaning towards languages so much more so than math that I'm looking for other subjects to pair my passion for language with. I hope that with ideas and support from my alumni, my professors, and my parents I will be able to find the right combination for my future.
