Lately though, I've been feeling a bit dissatisfied with my life and have been trying to vary my interests. When I grow up I want to be a squirrel.

Suggestions welcome!

Probably majoring in CS, though I've considered library science and linguistics, too. I used to want to be a video game designer, but the competition is so intense (video games attract obsessive, hyperfocused types) and games have mostly lost their joy. Meanwhile, you can find me curled up in a ball, crying about it.
