Maths. It's my field of study and I'm reasonably good at it, but I'm no more able to find joy in a nice definition etc. It's just boring.
Even if I study some out-of-syllabus topic I know that is interesting, it doesn't interest me.

Is it possible to change your field of study? I was the same way with electrical engineering, I switched to comp sci and got a minor in math after I realized that a career in EE would bore me to death more than the school work did. After I switched, I actually loved (almost) all of my classes and I enjoy the work I do for my career

I have to finish the bachelor (remains one year) to maintain free education, and then... maybe. Anyway, thanks for encouraging.
