What would you have chosen as a different path for your life?

So "Journey to the Center of the Earth" was wrong? lol. Is there really a world in the center aside from the extremely hot solid rock? lol

I actually think that sounds really interesting! Planets/space/etc all that interests me soo much, but i'm not a fan of a lot of the science i'd need to know beforehand (physics especially lol)

I know that being in a job that I don't like "destroys my psyche", and I am always looking for something else. But I guess a paycheck is what keeps me here. I just put a smile on my face and deal with it, waiting until I get home to enjoy my time there.

lol, ok that makes me feel a little better. I REEEEALLY enjoy learning languages, and I wish i had realized that sooner. My alma mater had several language classes but nothing major. You could only really have good languaged classes for Spanish and French (i'm bilingual already in Spanish and French is just boring to me lol). If i had found my love for languages earlier maybe I could have found a university that actually had good language classes.

Really? Awesome!! What school are you going to for Criminology? I soo need to look into that! The only school I was told (by my advisor) that had that for grad school was Michigan State but you had to have your degree in Chem.
