6th time's the charm?

Guess who's changing her "minor". AGAIN.

Yep. This girl.

I was going through my degree audit (basically the list of classes I need to take to graduate) today and trying to plan out my next four or so semesters here at good 'ol BYUI. I got all of my English (major) classes and Foundations (generals) classes planned out, and everything was glorious.

And then I got to the section for my current minor: Child Development.

As I was looking through the descriptions of the classes necessary, I realized something: I don't enjoy learning about kids. I thought I did since I was a teacher at my high school's preschool program and loved it. But I don't enjoy sitting in a class and learning about the mental and cognitive and physical development of a child; I just enjoy being around them and playing with them.

Imagine my frustration.

This is the SIXTH (yes. Sixth.) time I've changed my minor option. Here's what it has been in the past, even if for a brief moment:

• Home and Family, back when I was a naive freshman and thought that would help me achieve being a preschool teacher if the whole book editor thing didn't work out. HA! Nope. That is the section all the girls who only aspire to earn an MRS degree go to. And I realized that after looking at the list of classes necessary for the minor.
• Culinary Arts. I'm pretty sure it went like this: "hey, cake decorating seems cool." Yeah. That lasted all of a month or two. Especially after realizing that on top of tuition and book fees, I'd have to pay additional fees for every. single. one. of those classes. No thank you.
• Journalism and Photography clusters (equivalent of a half-minor). This was when I had just bought Sheldon, and when my old Newspaper adviser told me that I'm good at reporting and should consider it. But then BYUI had to go and be a pain in my butt and decide that in order to take "Photography I", I have to take a Drawing and Design & Color class. O_o that didn't make sense at all, so that was dropped. Plus I can't draw soooo.
• Journalism and Child Development clusters. I was still stuck on the notion that I'm a good reporter, and relived the memories of my high school days spent playing with children for an hour on "A" days. But then I remembered that I hated my journalism class (NOT newspaper class) and the very first class required for the Journalism cluster is exactly like my journalism class in high school. So that was dropped.
• Which brings us to the Child Development minor. I realized that I enjoyed playing with kids more than writing articles, so I decided to convert that previous cluster into a minor. 

And here we are today. I think I'm going to do some English clusters this time, since I've realized English stuff is all I really enjoy learning about. It depends on what the totally credible student employees in my Academic Advising Center say when I make a visit on Monday. 

This had better be the last time I change my minor option. Otherwise, I'm never getting out of here.
