interesting.

I don't like to read into things too much, but some things you just wonder about.

I.E., the dealio about my minor. About a year ago I decided that the Group Minor in Missions sounded like something I should do because it included some classes that looked really good. Problem? I simply couldn't get declared! The professor who was the advisor managed to be very difficult to get a hold of, and I didn't even get to meet her until the beginning of this semester, despite persistent emailing and trying to work something out. Then, when I did meet her, I had the declaration form all ready to go, but she refused to sign it until I had written a brief piece on why I wanted to do the minor. She said I could email it to her, but she never got it. I emailed it again. She never responded. Assuming that she had gotten it, though, I left the form at her office so she could sign it and leave it for me to pick up. I never saw that form again.

But then I found out that I needed a 'teachable' minor in order to be certified as a teacher in Michigan. The nice lady in the Education department heard that I was interested in missions and suggested that I look into an ESL minor. I looked up the classes, they looked interesting, I easily got ahold of the advisor over advising recess, had a great conversation with her about the minor and I stopped by last week with the form, got it signed, handed it into the registrar, and the next day got an email confirming my minor declaration. It was that easy.

And though this might have been a funny coincidence, I can't help but feel a little reassured that I'm headed in the right direction. :)


Other than that thought, there's not a whole lot to say, besides that I've been griping about having to take a math exam (it was pretty straightfoward, I'm sure I did fine!) this morning and have a cyst removed at lunchtime from my back (it still aches though, so sad). Life is decent :)

Tulip Time tomorrow! yay! It'll be fun to go to the parade. :) Plus I get to see my sister! :D
