A Fate Decided

Well, as most of you know I've decided to switch from guitar performance major to something else. I've decided on english and possibly a minor in music. So hurray! The music major was just too time consuming for my irresponsible bum.
on top of that I've decided not to even take lessons this semester. It's not because they're at 8 am in the morning, although that is not a good characteristic of them, it's that I'm fing sick of guitar. I spent last semester two hours a day playing classical and learning to read music, which was fine and dandy. I burnt myself out, which strangely enough my father predicted (he's not a very insightful man).
Well, just thought i'd share since I'm kind of shakey making decisions. So feel free to be praise me or call me a dumb bum. Word to the people. :)

Best of luck to you! I too am shakey about decision making yet still managed to navigate my way through high education. What made you choose english?

My absolutely gorgeous example.

What's weird for me is... I hate math... I'm not good at math... Yet I am one semester away from gaining my degree in mechanical engineering and a minor in applied technical mathematics.... stuff's crazy!!

Good for you though for not sticking with something that is losing your interest... I know it's a hard decision to make... I almost changed my major my sophomore year but I stuck it out...

Good luck. I'm sure that you'll flourish in your new major.

Totally get the burn out - I played loads for my exams and got a bit tired of it... having come so far with the guitar it'll always be there for you as much or as little as you like...

I did English Literature, and I've done alright - hopefully it'll pan out at least as well for you... :D

I totally knew you'd do that. I'm thinking about getting into English in university too.

I didn't anything about what you were doing, but English rullz, so good on ya. Guitar is fine and dandy, but, you know...English! Yeah!

I think the major change was a great move. If my son wanted to major in music I would support him but I wouldn't be thrilled with it inside. Tough way to make a living unless you're a music teacher in a school. He's working on his Bachelors in Computer programing. Wants to be a game programmer. Off Track... Anyway I think you'll have better options with your new major and don't stop playing guitar. Just play for yourself.

Yeah, it's gonna be something if she thinks Crit Theory and the 400 levels won't be time consuming.

I switched for two reasons. Number one was I was worried about getting any sort of career after school. Number two I was getting burnt out on playing guitar, which is bad. I love guitar. Oh and I almost forgot! Number three is of course because of Jolly *swoons*. :rolleyes:

Yes, I know any degree is time consuming. But I'd rather spend hours reading and writing then playing classical guitar 10-14 hours a week. Jerks.

Oh yeah and I almost forgot, thanks for your guys' support. :)

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking when I had to read 5 books a week for my English Literature courses! :eek:

Damn Guitar! :D

Okay then I'm probably doomed to drop out. :rolleyes:
