Dear Reader,
Yesterday I officially declared my major. Ever since starting school I had been listed as a Pre-Music Major, but now my transcripts and official records have Computer Science down on file. I took long enough, right? Well, it's been a grand time figuring out how long it will take to graduate. Looking the plan I made using the BYU MyMap system, I can graduate as early as 2016. That would only be 6 years since I started. Go figure. Graduation will possibly postponed until spring of 2017, but we will see how things go.
The most appropriate song to go along with this happy event is a spoof on the song "1000 Miles." The original song has little or no significance to me, but the spoof done by an Acappella group has pretty funny lyrics that are not far off from how planning a college graduation are. Here is a video with the lyrics posted out so you can read them.
It goes through and explains very well how you can plan do something and how something simple can completely change those plans. One of those change of plans is something my own mother asked me about.
She asked me about the commitment required by the University to go on a Study Abroad. She then asked about what would happen if I met a girl before going on said Study Abroad. I sarcastically answered, "She'll just have to wait for me!" I actually have no idea what will happen, but we will tackle that when we get there.
That is the plan for my academic career right now as well. For right now, I have a plan to graduate in December 2016. However, if something else comes up (Marriage, job opportunities, etc), I will just have to accept that I will be here for five long years.
