Random Happenings:

Back by popular demand, here are a few random things that I've been up to instead of posting:

--I'm working. A lot. Leave me alone.

--Percussion tourn ends Sunday night(meaning Chelsie gets back). I'm very happy.

--I still don't know whats up for my job situation this summer. I may go home (if something open up in the next like 2 days) or I may stay here (by default/by potential of getting a raise for vatrious cirumstances, but not holding my breath on that one).

--I have a lot of school work I should be doing right now. Instead, I'm blogging. I sacrifice for you people, you know that right?

--The greatest NBA playoffs in recent memory are taking place right now. And I haven't seen more than 10 minutes of it (I fell alseep watching Game 4 of Miami/NJ a few Sundays ago). The Sports Guy has written several very good articles about this. I almost wrote an entire post about it, until he got paid to write what I was thinking. That worked well.

--I'm actually starting to get giddly excited about the World Cup. This is disturbing to me considering that I don't like socer. At all. Why am I excited? I don't know.

--I'm thinking about switching to Humanities (Letters Emphasis). Any suggestions/Advice? Why you ask? Well, I started thinking one day (awhile ago) that I don't actually want to teach for all my life. I don't really have a plan or any idea what God really has for my life, but I don't honestly believe that teaching is there for the majority of it. Maybe I'm wrong. I really don't have a clue.

Thats all for now, I have to go read a book and write a 5 page paper on Brazil.

One thought--humanities generally means you're going to need more school. Are you really wanting to go there?

the switch to humanities would definitley be a great move. I think it's the best major Maranatha offers. And it doesn't necessarily require more school. I graduated with the letters emphasis and I had a job in business lined up for this fall, as well as a job in government (in DC), but I finally settled on heading up discipleship and teaching for the student ministries program at a large church in NC. My point is that you obviously wouldn't need more education, and you could still get into any number of fields. Plus, the broad education means you bring a wide variety of abilities and a broad spectrum of knowledge to the table wherever you go (assuming you did your homework). Plus, you'd have a good educational background for basically any graduate degree if you did decide to go on. Whereas if you had a education major, it might be more difficult to start a grad program in business. Just some quick thoughts.
