Major or Minor.... ???

November 11, 2006

So, I've been giving a lot of thought to my music major status. Where will a
music major get me in life? I could teach private lessons, I could teach at a
school, I could play in professionally bands. That's about it.

I am going to be a music minister in a church some day (that's what God has
called me to do). Yes, I need to know music, but do I need to know it as
extensively as a music major does? Wouldn't a minor suffice? I do go to a music
minor instead of major then what would my major be? I've always enjoyed the
sciences, and I like math (not as much, but I enjoy it). I want something in
the computer field, but Lee doesn't seem to offer courses for that. I feel that
I should stay at Lee though, so I will pick a major they do offer. So where
does that leave me? I've spent hours going through Lee's book that talks about
all the majors and minors and the requirements and what they prepare you for. I
have to make a decision soon. Registration is on its way fast. I'm nervous.
What if I mess up? What if I pick something and struggle financially for the
rest of my life because it was a bad decision. Or what if I hate my job once
I'm done here? What if I completely miss God's plan because I'm to deaf to hear
it. I have to make a decision soon.... I'm nervous.
---------------EDIT---------------
I just located some computer-type majors. I'm REALLY interested in those. I'm researching them now.

Halloween Update

November 02, 20061st the pics of that ninja guy/girl are because they're dressed up as characters from the show Bleach. I love that show which is why there are so many of them. The guy is Adam's old roommate from last year. I just posted the pictures of mine and Adam's transformation on my website so check it out HERE

Halloween!

November 01, 2006I had the most amazing Halloween ever. It was an open dorm (meaning that girls could come in our dorm fo the first time this year). The 1st floor of hughes did a rave, the 2nd floor (my floor) did an amazing haunted house (complete with smoke machine, scary sounds, strobe lights, and scary people jumping out and making girls scream). 3rd floor did a salsa party (and had a live band). For Halloween I dressed up as Adam and Adam as me. It was sweet. On our wall we made a 5 picture transition from adam to adam-dressed as me and then a 5 pic one of me to me-dressed as Adam. See the pics HERE

Trials

October 29, 2006

You know, it's times like these when my prayer is something like
this: "God, right now life is sucking but you said that you work all
things for my good. Please show me that you're still in control."

I've
had several things happen recently, and here's one of them. So last
night I'm driving back to Lee and suddenly my RPM's jump from about
2,500 (normal) to about 7,000 (my car's red line). I quickly hit the
clutch and try to change gears, but I can't get it to go into any
gears. It was locked as if the clutch wasn't separating the disks in the
transmission. My car also gave off a REALLY bad smell.

That's the bad news, but there is a God part to it (as there is in most
things in life, you just have to look in the right direction). I was
1/2 an hour in the direction of Lee and remembered that I had to get
into Chris's dorm room tonight, but he's staying in the boro tonight.
So, I turn around and go get his key. They my car dies 2 minutes from
my house. Dieing 1/2 way to Lee would suck, but I was brought back :-).
