I have another test on Friday. This time I’m learning this stuff using this stuff, and applying it to this same old stuff.

I honestly don’t understand how anyone can say math ain’t interesting. Sure it’s hard. But it’s soooo cool!

In all honesty, Calvin is smarter than most people I know. I’m serious. (I’m not joking). No really.

The Question: Mathematics or Economics?

The details, with all values out of 10, are:

Subject Difficulty Ability Enjoyability
Mathematics 10 6.5 11
Economics 7 8.5 8

An added problem to the decision is that my enjoyment in Economics has actually increased over the past year (probably from 7 to now 8)…will that continue?

My enjoyment in mathematics has been consistently off the charts for years. However, the difficulty level in mathematics has increased significantly into my final undergraduate year (probably from 8.5 to now 10).

My abilities in both subjects have been, and will continue to be, constant.
