Good, Technical, Qualifying, Networking, Focusing. And no fucktards. Check.

Odd that they're suggesting you choose your path based on your Myers-Briggs type.

Lots of SFFGers are INFPs. Not sure if that says anything.

I am also beginning this process... hope we can at some point be classmates once again.

D'ya think that this program will include any classes that will require painting / smoking / all night long?

Because sharing that experience with Gloves was a highlight of my college career. And also, possibly, a contributing factor as to why I don't actually have a degree... hmmmm.

hee! If they do, I'm so in that class! I'll bring the smokes, if you bring the Jack. We can go to Mike's for cola.

ARGH!! MBTI!! What a load of CRAAAAAAAAAAP! I'll try and find the paper I wrote in grad school about how MBTI is about as accurate as your horoscope.

And the whole "path" thing is also a load of crap because you can't accurate measure performance if the mediums are different. Sure all the hippy, touchie-feelie types will say that you need to let people do projects according to their preference but can you really judge a term paper against a diorama or a one-act play or a board game? Not really.

(You had Dr. Little as your advisor? My condolences. He was a fucktard.)

Yeah. I would've probably lasted a little longer as a music major if he hadn't been my advisor. Luckily, he's not an option for the Independent Studies choices for Music, if I decide to go that way.

Hopefully you have banked enough good karma not to get stuck with Dr. Choi either. I really love Dona Gilliam in the music industry department. That might be a good way to go. You can still do the music thing but learn the more "practical" side of the business like contract law and concert production and promotion. I *loved* her classes and wish I had taken more.

I tried that when I was a music major. I failed basic accounting (both I & II) TWICE.

I am not so good with the numbers.
