Major Changes

Ha. Double meaning title.

I'm seriously considering changing my major. I was originally going to major in Psychology and minor in Spanish. Now I want to double major in English and Education and have Psychology and Spanish as my minors. The minor part won't be too hard to fulfill- I already have most of my credits done for those. But this is definitely going to set me back a ways.

Psych just hasn't been feeling right. I want to help people, but I'm not employable as a therapist in the field I want. I want to work in a drug rehabilitation center. But they generally only employ people who have been through some sort of treatment before and can empathize with the patient. I don't think I'm hard core enough for that.

So I've been thinking about teaching high school English. I know I'm good at English. I've got all the grammar rules down pat. But there's another part that's appealing to me. I wanted to be a therapist for a while. But if there's one thing I learned from high school, it's that it's a lot easier to talk to a trusted teacher than it is a therapist. I feel like I could still make a big difference in people's lives, and hopefully keep them away from needing any residential treatment.

So that's that.
I'm also moving to Virginia. I don't know when it will happen. But it's going to. I'm thinking after I graduate with my bachelor's degree. I'm hoping to move out there with Dano, work for a year, and then finish up school out there. I don't want to live in Utah anymore.

In other news, I got a house :) Colton, Carlie, David and I are all living together next semester, for the whopping price of 118 dollars a month. We got a screaming deal.

I've been kind of terrible about blogging, so this is just gonna be a catch-all post.

I went to the U2 concert in Minneapolis. It was seriously one of the most emotional and breathtaking experiences of my life. Absolutely fantastic. Here's a picture.

It poured rain. Bono was wonderful. I sobbed like a hungry infant on multiple occasions. We wandered around downtown Minneapolis at 2 in the morning, so that was an interesting adventure. I tasted feta cheese. It was a nice night. :)

I've been working a ton lately. Raking in the big bucks :)

I only have 28 days left in Minnesota. I'm not really looking forward to going back to Utah. I want to see my friends, but I don't care so much about the rest of it.

Dani, Robyn and I have a weekend planned that I'm so stoked about! On the 22nd of September we're going to go to Ephraim and stay until the 25th, which is a Thursday through a Sunday. On Thursday we're going to stop in Provo and Dani and I are getting tattoos :) We're both getting a 22 on our ankle. 22 was the apartment number we met in. It's all-encompassing of our experiences there, good and bad, and our friendship. We're going to visit all of our old haunts and some old professors. It's going to be so friggin fun I can't even stand it!!

Well. That's my life lately. Oh. The other night it's possible that I got drunk and created a couple of blogs about people I hate. They've got a good review so far. Hit me up if you want an invitation to them. :)
