Hey hey hey
Hello! How are you doing?
I'm doing great! You?
Pretty well, thanks.
What was the best part of your day?
Oh gosh. Um, probably the rain. I love the rain. What about you?
Really thats so cool. I lived in Oregon for most of my life and I started to hate the rain towards the end haha I'm learning how to juggle, and I've gotten to 20 catches so far haha thats probably the best part of my day
Sweet! My hand-eye coordination is nowhere near good enough to juggle successfully.
haha yeah its taken me a while to get the hang of it. I practice for like an hour a day hahaha
That's quite the dedication. Props to you!
Thanks! It was on my bucket list of things to learn. Do you have a bucket list?
Of sorts, l suppose. Nothing written down, or even very detailed.
Have you achieved anything yet?
I guess? Mine is mostly an ever-updating list of songs I want to learn for piano. So it never feels like I'm accomplishing anything, because it's always getting longer. XD
Haha hey I play the piano too! What's your favorite song to play?
Oh goodness, that's a hard question. It depends on what I'm in the mood for, and what criteria I'm using to determine my "favorite."
Haha ok top 10
But "All of Me" by John Schmidt is a lot of fun, even though it's pretty insanely hard. I'm also really excited because I got the sheet music for the songs from "The Greatest Showman" How long have you played piano?
11 years. You?
16 years this fall.
That's so awesome. Are you majoring in something music related?
Haha thanks. And no way! I love music, but I love being able to do whatever I want with it; there's no way I'd be able to handle the insanity that is the music programs at BYU
Haha yeah they seem pretty wild I have a super long list of songs I need to finish too haha
I know a few people that are in the music programs, and the amount of stuff they have to do is ridiculous. I have an immense amount of respect for them.
Yeah thats so cool what they do What are you majoring in?
Early Childhood Education. You?
Physiology and Developmental Biology.
So you're a sciencey person?
Haha yeah I guess so. I'm doing it as premed
Do you know what you want to do in the medical field?
I know that I want to do a lot of humanitarian work, that's for sure. Right now I'm really interested in anesthesiology, oncology, and ophthalmology.
Um, I think my computer may be glitching out...
You can just reload the page that usually helps you see messages
Every time I've tried reloading; it's started a new conversation. Wow, that was a grammar fail.
Haha no problem I've got to go print something so I'll be back in a bit
Sure thing. :)
Ok I'm back So how far are you into your degree?
Sweet. :) Sweet. :) Man, my computer is being glitchy. Ugh. I've got a few years left, mainly because I'm taking it slower than they recommend. It doesn't help that I switched majors after my freshman year.
What were you originally majoring in?
I was planning on doing Graphic Design.
Oh cool. I'm guessing it didn't work out though
In a sense. It was a combination of a number of things; the program got SUPER competitive to get into (and I was not good enough), and I didn't see eye-to-eye with some of the professors as far as what good Graphic Design looks like. So the odds of me getting into the program were even slimmer.
Aw man I'm sorry
Thanks; I'm actually not. I doubt I would have been happy, even if I had gotten into the program, just because what they wanted from me and what I wanted to do with Graphic Design were two completely different things. And I don't do well just "jumping through the hoops"
Yeah I understand that. Do you know which grade you want to teach? Or is your degree for preschool and such?
My degree covers preschool through third grade. I want to teach kindergarten, if I can.
That is so cool haha I don't know if I could handle teaching such little kids. But props to you for wanting to do that!
Haha the funny part is, I can't handle teaching the older kids; they're way too sassy! And I DEFINITELY couldn't handle going into the medical field, so props to you. :)
Haha thanks yeah I like how interacting with people for the purpose of making their lives better is something I can confidently feel good about doing and I can know with s surety that I'm doing something good. I bet that's how teaching feels
Exactly. :) My kindergarten teacher was amazing, and really encouraged my love of learning. I want to be able to do the same for other kids. Plus kids are just so stinking funny and cute at that age.
Haha yeah I taught dance last year to a class of kindergarteners and first graders and they are so funny when they start saying just anything that's on their mind or embarassing things about their parents haha
Haha they're pretty good at saying embarrassing stuff, that's for sure.
