Mainly, because I just can't decided what I want to study. I'm lucky enough to live in a country where school are government funded, so I don't have to worry about tuitions. I think selling organic foods sounds very interesting, actually. Though, I would've chosen the clothing section :) I love reading different articles at Wikipedia too :)

I did, Economy for 2 years (with a break of 1 year in between) and aside from hating the "relevant" subjects with a passion (I liked Maths and Computing... LOL), I was amazed at the idiocy of most of my classmates. They were mainly blond girls, who were thin and dressed trendy... and that's it. I'm of course not saying that there weren't such specimens in the computing major classes, but most people there had some sort of inkling in regards to what planet they're on. At the end of the day, university is what you make of it. I haven't been partying or getting drunk, nor did I kill myself getting super high grades. Then again, I wasn't particularly happy with college life... but I did learn a lot of very useful things (coupled with a lot of very useless things ;) ) Soo good luck with your new job. If I were you I'd have picked the cosmetics section (not that I know anything about that... but =P ) It really depends on what type of major you’re after.

But there are always scholarships and/or financial aid you know. ;) Wikipedia is a great go-to source for quick answers to things. Since I work with elementary school kids though, I have to warn them not to use it and rely on it. They need to learn how to use "real" resources first. :P I don't think anyone can know everything though. Good luck on becoming the world's biggest know-it-all. :) School can be expensive.

I should become a contributor but I'm far too lazy. I've dabbled in organic food but find nothing really tastes all that different apart from meat. Organic meat is freaking awesome but my family can't afford it (we eat meat practically every night -,-).

So I don't know what I want to be/be called. :/ I'm thinking that I want to be seen as a 21st century female version of a Renaissance man (or as a scholar or as genius :P). I study things on my own and I look things up, but writing essays - no. Maybe soon, but I haven't written any for fun just yet. But! I'm interested in seeing some of yours.

The organic foods section seems like an interesting place to work! I know I'm probably a few posts too late but I must say your new layout is fantastic and really cute!
