Tell me I'm normal. Tell me I'm common. That this wondering of what I'm supposed to do with the rest of my life is something everyone goes through. I like nutrition, I do. Promise. But the real question is do I like it enough still to do it for the rest of my life? I think that answer is no.
Researching more about photography on the University of Idaho's website, I found I can major in art with an emphasis on photography and digital imaging. Now that sounds fun. I emailed my advisor about it, and I emailed my parental units. My mom texted me this morning with the idea of using nutrition to become a PE teacher. Well, I would LOVE that too. But here's the catch. PE teachers are common. They are a dime a dozen and there are so many of them that there are not enough job openings for all the potential PE teachers out there in the world. Sorry Momma, I just don't think a PE teacher is going to happen. HOWEVER! That's not to say that I don't like the idea of teaching altogether. Because if I ended up becoming a teacher, I could work for nine months or so and then take pictures all summer. Which, I must confess, would be absolutely lovely.
However, I'm still waiting for my advisor to email me back. Switching from nutrition to art is practically a 180 degree flip. I don't know everything that it might take to get that done, which is what I'm hoping she can help me with.
Besides the lovely major questions, I have a speech to write, a paper to finish, math to start, a parking pass to obtain and a W2 to find. Thank the good Lord there's only one more month of this to go and then I can have three months or there about to spend at the beach in the warm sunshine-y goodness they have labeled as summer.
I totally understand your choice and the longing to get to study photography.
