Looking back, then stepping forward

In my first post, I was amazed at the revelation of the science and humanities divide really not existing in any real way. I have to say that through the course that idea has been very enforced for me. I used to believe that science was a place that I held stray interests but it wasn't where my focus for the future would lie. Currently though I am seriously considering a major in the natural sciences so I guess my thoughts have really evolved. The "divide" between the two subjects or any subjects for that matter just seem so much less real than they have in the past. Everything is inter-connected with other things and ideas. I've always liked finding connections and now that everything has become to be inter-connected in my perception of reality there is a nice system of convergent and divergent ideas that can exist in my mind where before there was only segregated boxes neatly piled and labeled but definitely seperate. I think that I have learned a great deal about myself throught this course, more than I anticipated really. I am almost sad to leave the sometimes confusing tangle of branches and connectivity, but I am ready to go out and apply my findings to something new now.
