In terms of mathematics, I'm considering three possible courses of action:
(1). Continue my self-study of elementary number theory with the goal of gaining a deeper understanding of the material and an appreciation for the subject matter too.
(2). Do a self-study refresher on abstract algebra. I did a self-study of abstract algebra after I self-studied discrete math (I self-studied elementary linear algebra prior to discrete math), but I never felt that I truly got underneath some of the material toward the end of my self-study, such as homomorphisms, so doing a refresher in abstract algebra seems like it would be cool and interesting.
(3) Acknowledge that I've gained an appreciation for higher level mathematics (especially after my self-study of real analysis) and call it quits. In my heart, I know that I lack the creativity, originality, and brilliance that is requisite to do something special in the mathematical domain.
Currently, I'm leaning towards the first course of action with the second course of action close behind.
