Stuck in a JAM

There are a few things that trouble me lately. First, I want to find an Language Exchange partner, but I cannot. Second, I really really need to find out what I want to study in grad school in the US; however, it seems like the answer is missing and will be missing for a while. I am considering cryptography to be my major, but i am not sure if this field has future (But I will know about it soon). Third, if I cannot get the above problems solved, then something else on my schedule just can not be executed either. The last one, I wish I could learn about web design and photography and general computer knowledge, however, the truth is I cannot learn as fast as I imagine. All in all above gives me a feeling of tiresome. I hope I can get out of the jam shortly. Henry
