Major Changes

I thought I should update my blog. I don't really have a lot to say, at least not that people would be interested in. I started work a few days ago, I'm calling alumnae again, asking for money. I only get 6 hours a week doing that though, which is why I asked my boss if she had any work I could do during the day. That's how I ended up calling DupliKates. Yes, that's right, we have our own word for the students at St. Kate's who have had a mother, aunt, grandparent, sister, or cousin who have also attended the school. And not only do they get to go to this luncheon in a few weeks, they also get a special scholarship. And I got to call them all and tell them to RSVP to this luncheon. What a blast. Oh well, at least I got a couple of hours out of it, I really need the money. Doesn't it just seem like there is always something you have to buy? This week/month it's medicine (which unfortunately I have to buy again now that I'm not living at home with my parents there to buy it for me. Well, I guess now I know what the price of independence is. $7.), birthday presents for Anna, Melinda, and Jephtha since we're celebrating all 3 birthdays on the same day, and other things that I can't seem to remember. Although, I have to say, despite having to pay for everything while I'm at school, I really love my independence. And this year more than ever I think. Last year I was just getting my footing, getting used to being on my own and making new friends and figuring out school and the college and the city, but this year is different. I'm asserting my independence in the classroom, in my dorm room, and in my relationships with people. I think I'm really starting to grow more as an individual. I really like most of my classes too, which I think helps because it makes me want to do well, so I try harder, participate more, think harder, and learn more. Which brings me to something I've been thinking about-my major. I know I'm going to major in theology, I already have an advisor for that, who I had as a professor last year and he is excellent. However, I am not going to do a theology major on its own. It is almost too easy to do that, and I want more of a challenge. Which is why I have been thinking about double-majoring in theology and philosophy. Let me guess the reactions to that-a large, collective groan from almost everybody, and probably a cheer from my mother and of course, Matt. I haven't decided anything for sure, I still want to talk to my Ethics professor, but it seems like mostly a good idea, except I don't know what I want to do with it. But I can always figure that out later, right?
