However, I came to the school thinking I would major in Japanese, but realized I did not want to follow this path. So in my second semester I decided to take some "fun" classes: Computer Science and Art History. Voila. Not quite. While at my friends house playing video games I remembered how much I love the stories they share. That fits in with computer science and with art history I can not only learn about cultures (the other benefit of languages and therefore linguistics), but I could study the book arts and follow the progression of languages through the ages. And what is better than walking in Italy or Paris and knowing the ancient buildings you are walking through? My ideas finally came together: video games to teach language/culture. Or something along those lines. I'm still playing around with the idea. Thanks for the article! Just wanted to share my own story.

I agree, something which seems a bit "unfocused" may actually be a blend of different colors from different passions. As you said, "walking into a garden with only pine trees" is boring; we do need different colors. Great quotes and sharing, HP!
