  1. that i'd change my major
  2. that i'd be hit by reality with a load of bricks
  3. my passion could lie in art history
it's true. i have changed, well modified, my major. instead of pursuing a chem BS, now i will be pursuing a chemBA (which i've pretty much completed. i just need to take one more class) and an art history BA. =) i think i'm gonna pick up a french minor, too. who knew? i didn't even know ! i dunno why God's taking me this way...... O_O. but here's the schedule for next fall. scratch the one that i had earlier. =)


FALL07new
pretty light, easy schedule. i'm so glad i'm taking intro classes. it's pretty awesome. TWO intro classes ! and french shouldn't be that bad b/c i've already taken french all throughout high school. but i'm definitely rusty. ... too rusty. -___-;; here's a breakdown of the classes !





1. arth101 - YEA art history I.
2. arth302 - buddhist art in asia
3. arth260 - art in the age of grandeur
4. arts210 - enameling and jewelry I
5. soci204 - criminology

i know. so different, right? i always thought myself as an artsy-fartsy person. but i never thought that i'd actually consider it as a career. now i have NO idea what i wanna do. it's gonna be hard getting into grad school w/ a chem BA and i'm not sure what opportunities there are for art history majors. well i'm sure i can go on to write books and such. but if i could just travel w/ paintings... that would be awesome. and talk about them.

i know i talked on and on about how i had my next two years all planned out. but this just goes to show you that God can easily come in and change it up. it's not that He's picking on you. he wants you to have dreams and aspirations, but to also know that unless you're seeking His kingdom first, it won't work out. we can plan all we want in our hearts... but only God will determine the steps (that's a verse... somewhere in the Bible, i forget). i love planning things.. and having God strip me of this one thing i'm good at.. is a really tough lesson. but HE's humbling me. man, it hurts. but it feels good. to know that He's sovereign. i'd trust no one else.

i'm still gonna take phys142 @ uic b/c i need it to fulfill my chemBA degree.

two books on my list of books to read:

1. Too Busy Not to Pray // Bill Hybels

2. One Thing You Can't Do in Heaven // Mark Cahill

If you've read 'em, let me know what you thought. I'm gonna read 'em no matter what you say, but I'm still curious. =)

i'm still scared. but in the end, God works for the good of those who love Him. and i have no doubt that i love Him. so things'll work out even if i may not like it. so no worries. =]
