Minor Details

So I spent a great deal of today trying to plan out my life; well, mostly the remainder of my college life, but the experience and qualifications I come out of school with will have the utmost effect on how the rest of my life goes. Wow, did that sound pretentious or what? Apologies.
Anyways, I'm sticking with a music education major, and I figured out today that with that major I should be able to graduate in February 2013, which means four years of classes and then a semester of student teaching (I know 4.5 years is still considered "graduating late" for most people, but since I was expecting to take 5 years like many other music ed majors, I was very happy to figure this out, and 4.5 years is pretty much "graduating on time" for music ed). For a while I was planning on minoring in Theology and Church Music-sounds right up my ally, right? However, a) adding this minor would definitely set me back a semester at least, and b) I took my first religion class this semester and detested it, mainly because my professor was ridiculous and treated us like we were already in seminary...and upon talking to other people about their various religion professors, I can't say I've heard of any exceptionally wonderful ones at Elmhurst. I've also learned of several other ways I can incorporate service and discipleship into my professional career and my life in general (I'm looking at internships, service trips, and the like).
So I'm not going to minor in Theology and Church Music anymore. Thankfully the one religion class I suffered through at least counts as a gen ed, so it wasn't a complete waste of time, even though I can't say I learned much. But after I assembled my plan for 4.5 years, I realized that a theater minor might fit nicely into that. I emailed Janice Pohl, the theater department head, and she said I might even be able to get a "theater endorsement" since I'm on the education path. I'm not 100% sure what that means, but maybe if I get it I'll be able to teach theater in addition to music? That would be awesome. I was actually seriously considering going into theater ed for a while, but Niles North Theater kind of scared me away from that. I really love directing though, so maybe I could be a middle or high school choir director who also directs the musicals or something. We'll see what happens, when I grow up...
