I'm in THAT mood. The one where you can't comprehend the work you have to do. When you know you should go to sleep, but the bed is too far away. All you can do it stare at the computer screen or a book and think "Shit, program filing begins next week. I still have no clue what I want to major in". It's practically November. What am I doing, sitting here, not studying for my Japanese written midterm?
I want to talk to my History of Islamic Cultures professor. He seems like he knows so much. But I don't know how to do that, approach teachers and just chat. I have to have a reason, or I'm uncomfortable. I like his class. A lot. I was wondering if taking arabic would be as painful as Japanese. Probably just as bad. I was wondering if majoring in religion or sociology would be a cop out. Somehow, my brain doesn't want to accept majoring in any "fluffy" subjects. Or maybe that's just the voice of my uncle saying nothing but science is good enough. Why my uncle? Because out of my immediate family, he's the one who puts the most value on smart-ness.
I think this is some state of shock. I need to stop this semi-freaking out.

The thing about picking a major... you have to take a crap-load of classes in that subject, so it better be something you (at least semi) enjoy.
Don't worry about the future, or about what (if anything) your major will prepare you for. Although I'm majoring in Religion, I want to go into education.
These days, with such an emphasis on graduate level education, it hardly matters what your undergrad major is. For the kinds of jobs I'm guessing you'll apply for after college, employers wont give a shit whether you majored in econ, chem, religion, or dance.
Then again, if you love the greenhouse, you should maybe look into horticulture =)
Okay enough of my preaching...
