so i just came from the chair of the music department... originally i was going to propose an alternate set of courses with a project in order to finish out the music minor in a year... but then i decided just to stick with afam...

so here’s what happened:

chair: so what’s your situation?

me: i want to minor in music, but i’d have to finish it in a year...

chair: what are your plans?

me: i’m trying to go to seminary for music, but i need some basic foundation cuz i’ve never had formal classes in theory...

chair: do you have the list of minor requirements on you?

me: yup

chair: what have you taken?

me: ensemble, this music history course, no theory...

(she mulls over the requirements for a few seconds)
chair: how ‘bout you do this? and take this one... and this one would be good for what you’re trying to do... there you go...

me: i’ve noticed you’ve neglected about half of the usual requirements for music minors

chair: yeah...

me: is that okay?

chair: what are talking about?! i’m the frickin chair! now let’s go make this happen...

can i just say that she’s the best person in the world...

so pending action to make this happen includes setting up lessons with a professor for this and next semester and attempting to get into another class for this semester which will potentially be difficult since the last day to add was wednesday...

oh well... i asked God to open and close doors and apparently that’s what He’s doing... if it’s meant to be, it will be... if not then it won’t... and i’ll accept it either way... that’s faith...

now i just have to trust that faith will pay my tuition... because i definitely haven’t paid it yet... but i'm sure it'll work out...
