A little fight going on in Melinda's mind

Alright, before you start to read this...I'll post a warning. This blog post is very boring.

At the end of every semester, I have the same fight with myself and it goes a little something like this:

"I should probably decide what to major in," I say to myself.
Then I go through the same 5 majors that I've gone back and forth on every time. Social work, FCHD, Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education or maybe I should just get my ASL Interpreting Certificate.

So I go online and look at all the requirements for each major. Then I realize, I haven't even finished my generals! I still have to do English, Math, Science, Humanities. All the classes I hate. Why did I put them off so long? Well, the same reason I'm about to put them off again. I really don't want to take those classes-they seem hard and boring. So what do I do? Take classes that sound interesting of course.

 I have so many credits in the Social Science category, can't I just major in that? Great idea Melinda!

Oh...wait...Too bad I only need one class in that category and there are still 6 other categories to fulfill! Generals suck. Really. I hate being forced to learn about stuff I don't want to. Its lame.


Tuition is due on friday and I haven't even chosen my classes for spring semester. Mainly because registration was when we were on our honeymoon and I haven't gotten around to it. And partly because well...I don't want to take any of the classes I should. Oh and did I mention that I'm doing horrible in my science class so...I'll probably have to retake it?

Yeah...don't go to school while planning a wedding. Thats my advice for the day.

I have 2 more finals to take. Both are tomorrow morning, 10 minutes apart. And what am I doing? Writing down all my frustrations rather than studying. Yep. I need some motivation.

I need a revelation.

What to major in? The past few weeks I've been thinking about Early Childhood Education. I like little kids, teaching preschool sounds fun. Maybe my emphasis could be Sign Language. Then...I start thinking about Sign Language and how I really miss my Interpreting classes that I took last semester. *sigh* Can't I just be a mom?

Then I pause to remember how much our church leaders emphasize the importance of education.

So all I can do is Press On.

I guess that means...back to studying.

ps. sorry I wasted 5 minutes of your day :)
