on campus when I don't even have to be...

Feb 03, 2005 10:17

so my ballet teacher told us to check our email if the weather was bad to make sure we had class...i checked it, no email, i haul ass to the brooks center, and class is cancelled. Sigh.

I decided to make myself feel better by getting coffee in the library and playing around on the computer. I'm still ticked off though.

Like Cheryl, I have been thinking a lot about what I want to do after this year. I know deep in my soul I do want to go to grad school. I'm really a nerd, and I want another degree- I like research- and I don't like jobs. I have known for quite a while thought that I don't want to do clinical or research psychology (except perhaps educational) because I just don't really like psychology, or at least not enough to get an advanced degree in it. So I have been pondering for quite some time...what am I going to study in grad school, if not psychology? What is it exactly that I want to do?

So I was talking to Carol Collins one day and it occurred to me...she teaches creative drama on the college level, she must have some type of degree that allows her to do that. So I talk to her about it and sure enough, you can get an MA or a MFA in creative drama (or sometimes they call it "theatre in education"). And I thought--holy crap, I could do that! I really like creative drama! And the more I think about it, and the more I look at my options, and the more I read creative drama materials, the more I think yes, this is what I want to do. Which is pretty exciting. I've never really been sure about my major life decisions (Clemson was very last minute, psychology was just kind of narrowing it down) and I feel really good about this.

Ok, my dorky musings. I hope you still think I'm cool!
