Matriculation completed
So now I can finally say with pride; hello second year!
However, of course, the advising turned out to be a bit of a pain.
in the end I was not able to take the extra 20 credits that I would have liked. My grades just weren't good enough and my pretty smile just didn't quite help.. (correction my male advisor thought it would be fine but older woman wasn't as consumed by my charm)
It ended up being a choice between my head and my heart. I love art history. I truely do, and the lecturers are amazing, the tutors and the entire department. But can I really build a career on it? probably not.. I don't intend to work in a museum or an art gallery. Management was never really a doubt about me having to continue. Sustainable Development however... it does go with managment. and it is very much an "in time" as well as future subject.
We even discussed the possibilty of changing modules and take a first year one instead but I am not interested. I'd choosen the subjects I wanted. Problem is I want to take them all and can't.
After a rather long debate, and involving a lot of other advisors.. Art History was droped for the second semester. Keeping Management and SD makes me able to chose between 2 different degree. Keeping more doors open. And if I really really REALLY want to take art history next semester it can still technically be fixed for next semester at pre-advising in january.
On a positive note however, this does mean I'll only be doing 2 subjects this spring = only 2 exams!
