Once again, I am trying to figure out what the hell I'm doing in college when I don't even know what I want to do. I mean, I love being an art major, don't get me wrong. But I think there's a problem with the fact that I can't even imagine myself doing anything with graphic design outside of school.
I keep thinking about changing my major, but I don't want to be in school any longer than necessary, plus I won't be able to pay for any more than 4 years. There's always grad school I suppose, but that'll come at a cost as well.
It's quite sudden, but my interest has been piqued in archaeology again, and it's all because of stupid art history. I decided to do a little research on what kinds of careers you can get with an anthropology degree and I found a little journal entry written by a guy on a dig. And I found myself really wanting that experience. I love writing, I love history, I love travel, and I love to be outside--what better career for me?
UGH!!
NO TIME!!
It's okay though. I think I have a definite goal now. I'll take a few anthro classes while I'm still at Longwood, and when I graduate I want to go abroad and teach English. (Hopefully in Japan?) When I come back maybe I'll have some money for grad school and do anthropology.
I don't want to be in school forever. I'm turning into my mother.
Sigh.
college,
