She asked me what my background was in dance and if I had any intention for taking classes during the spring/summer terms. When I told her that I had trained for many years in many different styles she was impressed. She told me that what I was doing was very smart. I am taking two classes over the summer term. I want to get ahead of the five year program. I want to do this major and do it right but not jam pack my fall and winter semesters. She seemed very impressed that I knew what I wanted to do with my life and also that I already had a teaching job. It isn't that common to be in my position.
How many people really can say that they know exactly what they want to do and how they plan to do it at the age of 17? I can say that. I have been working at this since the beginning of my Senior year and at age 19 the only thing I can really say is that I am living the dream.
I love school!
I need to possibly come up with a minor though. My advisor (who is Marilyn Barrett by the way... the Dance Department Chair now) said that when a minor will help relieve some stress from the major courses when my Generals are done. She also said that a minor would make me look more marketable when trying to get a job. We are just on the same page here huh? She took the words right from my mouth.
Well, that is my little spiel for the day. I hope your days are all going fantastic! I know mine is going so well and I don't really know why it is. :)
Peace. Love. Happiness. Laugh.

Sounds like you're doing great! It's important you have passion about what you want to do because you'll do it better if you love it! Happy for you.
Glad it is all falling into place! Good luck and have fun!
Since the grapic design minor doesn't look like it will happen, do you have any ideas about a minor? Any particular interests?
I think you should do a molecular biology minor. Wouldn't that be cool?
I thought you were doing a history minor. Did that change?
Well History was just not interesting anymore when I had to analyze the crap out of it. I love to learn about it... I love to learn in general. Now I have another problem however....
I kind of am thinking about changing majors from Dance Education to become an Athletic Training Major with a Dance Minor. Great. Now I am conflicted. Ugh!
