And when it comes to Journalism, I called a local newspaper and requested to cover an upcoming story (a story which, before I called, they had no idea about). I called last week and have yet to hear back, so I'll call again tomorrow. If they reject me, I'll call the other local newspaper. I did, however, pray that if both newspapers reject me, I'm to consider that a sign from God that journalism is also not my calling (which, I later realized, was a bit hasty considering this is my first year of college). But if Political Science, History and Journalism are not my callings, then God help this Political Science/History/Journalism major!

Mid-Term Crisis
I'm beginning to wonder if Politics and Middle-Eastern Studies (aka History) is really my calling. While I have an A in Chinese (CHI102) and an A in Mass Communication and Society (ENG250), I have an A- in Islamic History (HIS255) and a B in Women in the Middle East (HIS283). I realize that my history classes are nearing the 300 level and I'm a freshman, but even last semester, my lowest letter grade was an A- (and that was in International Politics!) and my GPA was a 3.918. Am I simply being too unrelenting? I'm still above average. But my thesis in HIS283 is really causing me grief. On the other hand, I'd probably be just as upset if I thought the classes were super-easy.
