i've lived for a very very long time in such a Dilemma, it has pushed me to depression at times, and i was on several occasions on the verge of quitting education as a whole because it was getting way to much for me to handle. part of the blame if not the entire weight of the blame has to fall on me, however sometimes i like to place the blame on my parents who out of love and out of "knowing whats best for me" forced me to venture into a faculty i had close to zero interest in. that faculty being pharmacy, where as i understood why with age they thought this would be the best suited faculty for me considering i would graduate and find a job easily and considering prior to the loss of my father we did have a pharmacy waiting to be opened and run but all that changed with the loss of my dad. needless to say the fact i was not interested in pharmacy made it a struggle to go through a semester with out failing on a good semester a course or two. i moved to russia as it is well known to people who know me well, and here i finally grew the pair of balls i was always frightened of growing in fear i might heart break my parents wish because me finishing pharmacy was a dream of theirs that they have allocated a lot to make true, however after finishing my prepartory course in russian language i rang up my mother and made it clear i can longer go through this any more and that i have decided to pursue what i have soo much passion in. i have officially moved from pharmacy to political science. this was my first week in my new faculty, and despite it being hard simply because the russian being used by my professors is way advanced as opposed to the level in my preparatory course, i am energized and roaring to go. i already have a couple of researches that i need to prepare with one being a course work that is due in may of next year. i have already chosen the theme of my topic and now i am just preparing my reading list to better prepare my research. my advice to any one who is in such dilemma is to go after what he or she desires because only when you are interested and passionate about sth can you give your utmost best and pursue your dream. my transfer has not been with out a price but i believe its better late than never. Russian might be a huge obstacle for now, it has taken some air out of my sail just after one week but it has not knocked me out because i know it will take a month or two for me to fully integrate and luckily for me my professors know its not an easy transition, we r only four foreign students in my entire year 3 of which are with me in the same group while the rest are all Russians who have been friendly and welcoming to me and my other colleague's. bottom line is believe in your self and work hard to reach what you dream of.
