Yet I majored in Microbiology at BYU, attempted a minor in Humanities but had to give it up, and went off to get a PhD at the U. Only then did it hit me that I was terribly unhappy! So I got a Masters and got out.<br /><br />You know what I did as a child? I wrote poems, wrote plays (in English and Spanish) choreographed dances, was part of the drama club in my school, and sang made-up songs in the shower. I wanted to learn the violin but never had the opportunity... <br /><br />Why the heck did I go for science! Not that it isn't good, I love science, it is awesome... But when I listen to any symphony or watch a play, it hurts me a little.

The only chance we have to do things we love are by picking them up here and there, and savoring what little we have now.TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00890037981997328026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2780506856626441160.post-20181792367428873242012-11-05T21:08:40.808-08:002012-11-05T21:08:40.808-08:00You need to look up a song called "Where'...You need to look up a song called "Where's the line to see Jesus". My ya-ya sister in Ontario (she is a minister) sent me the link to hear this song. It sends chills up and down my spine every time I listen to it.

Our oldest son will be a senior when my husband begins working in his new field -- and we will be paying on loans from the education for both fields of work. sigh. I think music is a wonderful hobby. And for me, the quintessential idealist who once proclaimed that she could do anything if she set her mind to it, that is a big statement. :)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16257277238236544458noreply@blogger.com
