Something's happening here; what it is ain't exactly clear

This is my last post of the year 2010. Coincidentally, it is also my first post in quite a while. I apologize if I have any faithful readers who were disappointed in my absence but I am back.
Recently I made one of the biggest decisions I have made in a long time. I finally changed my major from communications to industrial engineering. It may seem strange or silly to change to something so radically different, but I assure you that I am more confident with this decision than anything I have don in a long time.
For starters, I was really not very happy with the direction my career path was headed in. I've been doing school newspapers since my sophomore year of highschool. I have enjoyed it for the most part but I really don't think it is something I want to do for the rest of my life. It is fun to do it part time but doing it full time would be way too stressful and probably not worth it. I know I would enjoy working with math and science a lot more.
The other reason I am switching my major is because I think it will have a more positive impact on the world. While the world needs good journalists, I think the world also needs good engineers. Right now I am looking at two options I really want to do when I graduate. I either want to join the peace corp for a couple of years or I want to join Engineers Without Borders to go help people. I am still a long way from deciding any of this though.
But enough about that.

Normally I would go through and list all of the great experiences I've had over the year. I probably won't do that here; mostly because I just don't feel like it. I will say it has been quite a year. Surprisingly, it seemed to last longer than I would have thought.
As a gaze down the long and dark road that is 2011, I am surprisingly optimistic, considering how usually cynical I am. I really think things will be getting better from here on out, at least I can't see them getting much worse.
So to all of you, I wish you a happy new year. I wish you all the best.

Goodnight, and travel well.
