Still Life

It's taken me so long to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. And actually I still don't know for sure. I decided to get my BFA in graphic design for a few different reasons and I really do like the program so far. I am just not 100% sure that I wouldn't rather go after my Studio Art degree instead. It just seems like the Graphic route may be a little more 'practical' and marketable and give me the computer skills I am after too. I wish that I could be more of a self learner on the computer stuff....I mean, I know that I don't have to go to school or get a degree to be really good on the computer-I just don't have the natural ability or knack for it that a lot of people have. I am not saying that I am questioning my decision, it is just hard because there is so much I am interested in. I really want to take more studio classes, like painting and metal smithing (again), I love english and writing (want to take creative writing soon) I love art history. There is just SO MUCH that interests me and not enough time!!! Studio classes are such long classes (about 6 hours  IN class time and about 4-10 hours on projects OUT of class per week). So that means that between the classes that i am required to take for my degree, it is very difficult to squeeze in any extras-especially studio classes. So I am not sure what I want to do? I have thought of a minor in English or in Studio Art but it is hard to minor in something when I am going after my BFA. My advisor probably thinks I am crazy because I have already talked to her about minoring and then about possibly switching my major all together (to interactive design) Oh well...honestly when I graduate in 3 years with ANY degree I will be thrilled. I just want to enjoy what I am doing and really try to make sure that I am making the best decision-'cause it's not like this opportunity is going to be knocking again!!

Okay, wow, that was long winded! More later...

TTFN & happy :) day.
