Its really scary, this not really knowing what to do. People shouldn't be allowed to make decisions like this in sixth grade and never waver. Kids decide based on what they see; teachers, firemen, actors, the usual things that kids want to do because that's all they're exposed to. No one (or few) says when they're really young "I want to be a film editor!" or "I want to be an audio engineer!" or "I want to design cell phones!". I'm scared because as much as I don't think I want to do this and don't get excited or interested at all when I read about the music classes I have to take, without it I have nothing because I never looked into anything else, and its been the plan for 7 years and its hard. I just hope I figure something out before the semester starts again. I'm kind of leaning towards taking the basic music classes as if I were on a path to an applied degree and then take other non-music classes for a semester to get an idea of what else is out there, even if it means I graduate a semester or two behind, because I HAVE to know, I can't commit to this with these doubts. I'm just scared and I feel trapped and I think about this all the time.
Also, they did hire a new violin teacher because they needed to split the studio in half because its too big for just one person, Sarah told Fran that it's Janet Sung http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/2004/03.11/11-sung.html, and that students were asked what teacher they wanted to stay with (I wonder when this happened, because I was never asked) and over half of them said they want to stay with Sarah.
