Self Examination

First off, if you have an hour (well, more like 50 minutes) to kill. You should go watch Demetri Martin's "If I" special:

In this program, the comedian genius of Demetri, is examined, by himself. I find it all quite fascinating and he's quite hilarious at parts, showing off glimpses of his humour found in normal stand up comedy shows.

He comes to the conclusion that self examination can take a toll, in that you can become so focused on who you want to be, that you ignore the all more important aspect of how you are living now.

It seems, as of late, that my own self examination is taking place, in part. I don't feel it intrudes into my regular studies or causes me to think too much about the future, but I will say that it would really be nice if things were more thought out and just overall, made more sense.

On one hand, I have the ability to power through all of my homework that I have to still make up. On the other, I wonder if this, possibly, is a good time to realize that friendships, art and God are more important.

On one hand, I'm wondering if engineering, science and math is a career opportunity. On the other, I wonder if engineering, science and math is more of an interest.

On one hand, I could change my major to something more worthwhile (to me) like literature. In the same hand, I could leave college seeking a job in my field and coming up short.

On one hand, I could keep examining myself. In the same hand, I could never come to a complete conclusion...
