I always wanted to be a mathematician, precisely for that reason. But I fall asleep in math class at 3:30 PM so...perhaps it's not the best choice.

Well, if you've just taken calculus and linear algebra, you haven't seen what math has to offer yet - you may well prefer "pure" mathematics (or dislike it even more strongly, haha)...

Personally, I don't care for applied math much - it's interesting, of course, but I wouldn't want to do any more of it than I have to. Unfortunately, you don't really get exposed to 'pure' math at the university level until (at least) 2nd year unless you look at the material yourself (or get Mowicz to tell you about it!).

I fall asleep because I can barely keep up
Better than staring dumbly at the prof.
