Re-visiting majors

if i could go back in time, or alternatively, if i were to win the lottery and no longer need to work, i think i would go back to school and major in linguistic and cultural studies. i used to think that if i did it over, i'd do a triple major in math, physics, and philosophy, because the intersection of those three subjects is where my non-fiction reading interests lie - impacts of quantum theory on everyday life, concepts of time / spacetime, etc. but now i think i should have stuck with linguistics. i used to be really into it. i took this one french linguistics class that was pretty amazing. i loved learning about the etymology of the words. especially words relating to time and fate and fatality. and also different cultures' concepts of future and past, and whether the past is "behind you" like we say, or whether it's actually "in front of you" because, after all, you can see what is in front of you, but you can't see what is behind you, and we can see the past, because it has already happened, but we have no idea what lies in the future, yet we say that the future is just ahead...but of course, some people also say the future is ahead but "just around the bend" and that makes more sense because you can't see what is around the bend.
