Economics Resolution

These few days I felt as if I went on a roller coaster ride, 一下子觉得相通了,一下只有觉得不开心.
A few days ago, I thought I have came up with the decision that I will not touch Economics again, I told everyone that I am going to drop this specialisation. Many of them were shocked and I also couldn't understand why there was a sudden change in me. 我想是希望越大,失望越大。
I even decided to completely give Economics up and take History as my minor instead. I knew if I did that, my GPA will probably continue to stay in the first class honours range and maybe I can stay on the Dean's list. I nearly wanted to write a death certificate to pronouce the love of my life, Economics, dead.
The history lecture was very interesting, talking about greek history and stuff but I couldn't feel any sense of satisfaction. I felt as if something has been taken out of my life. My plans for the future, my dreams.
I spoke to the Economics division head about whether I should continue but he couldn't help me. I felt a bit helpless because I am the only 1 taking this 2 specialisation (Tourism+Economics) together。 But actually no one except myself has can give me the answer.
Went with Peishan to pray yesterday, I always do that before I start school. Peishan asked me after that if prayed that I hope 观音菩萨 will give me an answer on whether I should take my second major. Then I realise I didn't, I just pray that she bless that I will do well for my Economics. I think I have the answer now but I know 这条路很难走.
记得‘最初的梦想’中有那么一段歌词常常鼓励着我,
如果骄傲没被现实大海冷冷拍下,
又怎会懂得的要有多努力才走得到远方
如果梦想不曾坠落悬崖千钧一发
又怎会晓得执着的人拥有隐形翅膀
I will try, even if I drop out of the Dean's list, drop to second class honours, at least I tried to achieve what I wanted. I am not 100% condfident I will graduate with this second major but since I promise myself, I must learn not to waver 就算遭同学白眼,被人说我成绩烂。 起码在不开心时, 我可以告诉我自己,我在走我自己选的路.
