I’m starting to wonder if I’m normal now.
I had my first final today, it was for Foundations of Education. I studied for it, and when the time came to take it, I knew the information! Who ever thought it would work like that?
No, seriously. I have been studying my tail off for these exams. But nothing overboard. I don’t stay up late studying. I go to bed early every night (who would ever think that between 1030 and 11 is early). I end up studying whenever I’m working out. It helps me remember the information as well as burning calories and getting rid of excess energy. I’ve been doing that for Psychology for the past two weeks and I feel very comfortable with the info for the exam.
I really should be, since I’m considering becoming a Psych major. Well, a double major in Psychology and Human Services. Anything that I would use those two degrees for would involve helping people, which is something that I know I want to do. Becoming a education major and eventually a teacher was always just a ‘why not’ sort of thing for me. I always knew that I wanted to help people. And I knew that I was naturally good at history, and the only viable thing I knew I could do with a history degree would be to teach. Then I looked at the job projections for teaching.
Yeah. Not feeling so strong about going into teaching anymore.
At least with Psych and Human Services, there are multiple jobs I could do. I would love to work for Child Protective Services. But I could also do Social Work, Counseling, etc. All of which sound very interesting to me. Plus, they have better job projections than teaching does.
But then, I wouldn’t have anything historical. Maybe I can do a History minor…
Ok. I like that idea.
