School

Now that the semester is over I'm looking onward to the next couple semesters and hopefully graduation sometime. Right now I'm feeling like I'll never reach graduation day (whenever that might be).

I began college not knowing what I wanted to take; music or photograph. After a semester of music and photography classes I decided music wasn't for me. I then declared that I would be pursuing a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Photography (a four (4) year program).

After completing two years pursing BFA Photography, I took last year to work at USA. Realizing at the last minute I didn't have enough funds to return to AU I moved back to NY and began pursuing an ASSOCIATES degree in Studio Art with an emphasis in Photography. Does that sound a little messed up to anyone else???

I'm 21 years old and SHOULD be graduating with a four year degree in May of 2010 but instead I'll be finishing up my 2nd semester pursuing a two year degree as a somewhat non-traditional student with NO diploma! Arg.

What brought on this sudden spill of the last 4 years of my life you ask? The answer: Frustration! I'm tired of not knowing where my life is going. I'm tired of wondering if I'm wasting my time in school. I tired of questioning my decisions. I'm tired of not finding out until the end of the semester that some of the classes I need are only offered during the semester that is just ending.

So there you have it; I'm tired of all the questions... I'm ready to find some answers and I'm not sure where to start looking.
