I DID IT!

i did it! i did it!
i am no longer an Elementary Education Major...well..almost. i still have to finalize my schedule...BUT in every other aspect i am now a Music Theater major! WOO!

i really feel that this is where i'm supposed to be. Education was just a means to an end for me (aka paying off my college debt). Yes, paying off my debt as quickly as possible is very important to me and i am totally willing to live in a van down by the river for a few years to get that off my name (and have WICKED AWESOME credit) BUT doing what i love for the rest of my life is more important. Not to say that i wouldn't be a good teacher..i would work my butt off for those kids. But i don't want to be that teacher who after 5 years hates her life. The students deserve better than that, and i'm paying too much money to not have a major i like.

Which brings us back to Music Theater. Super Stoked about this new adventure. And why am i going back to music after the utter failure of freshman year? I feel that i'm more mature and ready for the demands of Theory and Sight Singing now than i was 2 years ago. i have obviously grown and i'm more aware of my habits (good and bad).
--side note-- I got one of the leads in next semester's musical, Once Upon a Mattress. Now introducing... Lady Larken.
That has nothing to do with my new confidence...none at all.

well that's the news. i'll spill more about the show when it gets here.
