MAJOR CHANGE!

I'm really excited that I have something new to blog about :)


I CHANGED MY MAJOR!
(haha, get it? Major change? I changed my major? yeah :)

I'm still going to be an occupational therapist but instead of Early Childhood Ed/Early Childhood Special Ed (ECE/ECSE), my major is now
CHILD DEVELOPMENT.

I'm excited about this for a few different reasons:

1. I don't have to student teach anymore!

2. I don't have to worry about lesson plans

3. No more student teaching

4. My ECSE major was a double major with no room for a minor. With a CD major I had the option to either do a minor or two clusters, which are like mini majors. The clusters I have chosen are
1. Photography!!! :)
2. Sociology!
I'm SO SO SO excited for both of those!

5. I DO NOT EVER HAVE TO STUDENT TEACH!

The only downside to this is that I'm a little bit behind in the program, but I think if I take 18 credits most semesters or consider changing to fast grad (going to school all three semesters instead of just two at a time) I can be done in a timely manner.
I'm so excited about this change! It will be a better degree when I eventually apply for grad school and it just feels so right!

THE END
