upon examining my currently completed amount of coursework and looking at the amount of hours i have toward this particular major, i have decided that i will simply drop to a B.A. in Theater and add another major.
I will be working toward the following degrees as of Fall 2007:
Bachelor of Arts in Theater
Bachelor of Science in English
(minoring in Linguistics)
I can do this. I mean, I have 54 hrs already done and I feel it'd be setting me back to drop all of that theater stuff altogether. And if I want to be an educator of English/Theater, it's probably a nice idea to have that diploma as well.
I have 27 hrs toward my theater major (well 54, but 27 are highly concentrated on theater coursework)
I have 27 hrs toward my GER requirements. I should be good on those, but I dunno.
So, next semester, I'll be making less work for myself by saying "fuck you" to Dana School of Music...maybe it was a sign when I didn't get in based on instrumentalism. Maybe I was never meant to be a performer...not for a career at least. But I WILL get that theater degree, damn it.
And i actually leave myself more room for shows. I may have myself something in community theater, who knows? But all I know is I need to take directing over again and take oral interp this time around. I need to do a good job. I will pick a show that i can live with and that is smaller to manage...so that i can go up sooner and not allow myself to slack.
the only thing that saved me from academic probation for this semester is that my GPA had been a 3.28 previously. Failing 3 classes was not good, but it didn't kill me. I managed to pull out of Fall semester with a 2.37. This means that this semester, I will force myself to do well and next semester, I'll be able to begin working on that second Bachelor's.
I guess all I need is a little faith.
