pre-school thoughts

as in the week before school starting thoughts. not that pre-school. my memories of being that young are few and far between, but i actually do have a couple of random memories of pre-school. anyway....

it's been interesting to see how my job here at publications and graphics has transformed into what it is today. the job title on route Y is "Media Production Specialist." which is funny, it should be "guy who will figure out how to do it because no one else has time....oh and does speeches." last year i wouldn't have thought that I would be doing what i am doing now, but it does allow me the freedom i need for school and extra curricular activities (such as julius caesar and random trips already brewing for fall semester.) plus i don't have a boss anymore. that's kind of fun.


this time last year i was really excited to start here at byu--my first semester after transferring from usu. in my mind, i had made the right decision, and at the time i was set on studying electrical engineering and sound recording technology. lucky for me, i decided that would be no good, and very quickly began plans for applying to the media arts program. (a success!) and since last year's credits were mainly audio classes, i have fulfilled much of my "emphasis" of my major. now all that is left is general eds, the core theater and media arts classes (TMA as noted on previous blogs), my religion requirements, and then whatever TMA classes i want to fill the rest of the credit hours with. if i stick on track to what i have planned out, i can graduate in two years. yay! it's nice to atleast see the direction to the light at the end of the tunnel (it will be atleast another year until that light is visable.)

as i am very well aware, i have a tendency to lose focus at the task at hand. i think this has come from a childhood of moving around, and always knowing that in a few years, i'd be somewhere else. in wyoming, after my first two years of high school we moved here to utah. i feel that desire to switch gears yet again. i have two years of school (credit wise) finished and some days feel like it's time to pack up and move somewhere else. it's almost a natural feeling, so the fact that i have to remind myself i still have two more years of school is a challenge for me. on the plus side, i think the fact that i actually have direction in my program and that what i'm learning this year will be a switch in gears will help this problem and mindset i have. i'll keep telling myself that... :)

also i'm an idiot! all this time i should have been getting internship credit for working at the castle. blast!
