Diary Entries from Freshman Year #4

3/24/10
Probably the most interesting thing that happened yesterday was a viewing of "Seven Samurai" by my choice at about 7:00. I had to record the end though, because Timmy has school today. Its pretty cool: a '54 Japanese (subbed in English) black and white with colorful language but also occasional thoughtful lines, scenes, and actions. Regardless of the stereotypical content, I was content to watch it for its compelling vitality, even ad a 55 year old movie.
I also, working backwards, went to the gym with Vijay and drove to get the haircut that was pretty much everything I wanted in a haircut: almost the same length, but less heavy. (In other words I paid $30 for a lot of styling and a lot of 'spin' on what was occurring.) But that's all good because I didn't know what I want, just what I didn't want: too short or too dramatic a change. I wonder if I could apply the same concept to the major dilemma? Which is of course which major do I want to pursue and, more distantly and importantly, what job will I pursue? I like how I word it as my job as opposed to more economically (in what service or to what firm will I sell my labor) or socially (how will I contribute back to the society that I grew up in). Its more political this way.
