This Wednesday morning was another repeat of the previous days this week.   After breakfast I struggled to focus on and retain my studies of math and computer network systems.  I had a sinking feeling like I was stuck in quicksand and can't get out.  I dread the coming semester and I feel tired all the time.

I had to shift to psychology to prepare for my class in the evening.   After about an hour of this prep I thought that I was wasting my time because this material is so easy for me and we will just be discussing it in class.  I should have spent my time continuing working on my other subjects.

My intro to Psych class was a refreshing interlude in this week.  As we moved through each subject I get immersed in them and have insightful thoughts and ideas.  As we spoke about anorexia a person in class asked the typical question, "I don't understand why it is considered a disease if this is caused by all these societal factors."  I could't resist commenting on this one.  I raised my hand ad the teacher called on me.  I asked the teacher if it could be that the behavior or bad habit becomes a disease when it passes a threshold of severity where the person loses control of it and it has a severe affect on the important areas of the person's life and impairs the normal functioning of the person.  It meets the criteria of a disease and is chronic, progressive, and fatal.

When I came home that evening everything came to a point of critical mass.  I saw that there is no way that I am going to complete my school work.  I rethought everything and had a eureka moment.   I decided to change majors and pursue a career that applies psychology.
