I have a tough call to make. I won't go into the details, but it basically goes like this. Plan A - I can take a highly difficult grad math course next year, for no other sake than interest. This would mean my GPA would suffer (because the average is really low and I'd spend insane amounts of time on it - neglecting other work). This has no been confirmed as fact, as the highest mark was a 71... and the median around 53. However, it is something I'd get "over with" and satisfy my curiosity... this is something I REALLY want to learn.
Or option B, screw my interest and submit to the bureaucracy that is academia. This would mean I would devout more time to my major and come out better on paper... but painfully accept I did not acquire the knowledge I came here to acquire. It may seem the obvious choice is A, which is more reasonable. However, I will point out that I will have absolutely no free time to learn this on my own. None. It would take... hmm 2-3 years before I have enough time for such an endavor. So I'd have to live with myself for that long.
Please help =(
