awww... crap
haven't updated in a while...
i got a shitty number for room draw and had to pull into erd. mark got ahold of me today though and told me he knew someone who might want to switch. this was a plus because right beforehand...
i can't major in creative writing. basically college for me has been this whole big thing where i try a bunch of different majors because i wanted something to be sucessful in life with and i didnt even think about what i enjoyed. thats why all the sciences and maths. but i get there to my meeting with the head of the creative writing department and the main problem is that since creative writing courses are so overrun... i cant be guarenteed that i could take two courses a semester until graduation (which i would need for a major). anyway its just funny because i finally let go of all my worries and i just want to focus on something that i love and the major advisor tells me "well you have two credits in math, why don't you just major in that because you'll at least have a well paying job." i understand why i can't major, but i am/was pretty upset about it. what is worse is that during the time i was talking to him i started to tear up and my voice was cracking and i couldn't stop even though i knew i would work stuff out. and i'm going to have to take courses with him later. he even said if we had had this conversation a year ago, i probably would have been able to do it. in all five years hes been head of the department there have only been four or five creative writing majors. basically what i think i'll do now is english with a concentration in creative writing and a minor in creative writing. that means i only have to take 11 more courses (not including my summer courses) to graduate.
shit, so i got that all out. there are some pretty other big things going on in my life, but that's not the kind of stuff i write about in my lj anymore. i guess if things work out with the other stuff you'll be in the know via lj cause ill be way happy about it.
so, yeah, that's it. how you doin?
