Man, today was a day.....I was at work (at the pub) for 10 hours :( It was, at least, profitable.

I'm so excited to start school on the 17th. I'm taking 19 hours--I had to get the Dean to sign a petition that allows me to take that many, although I don't really feel like it will be that much. And I'm on the Dean's List anyways, so it wasn't that huge of a deal.

The courses I'm taking this semester are: Brief Calculus, Business Law I, Principles of Micro-Economics, Principles of Macro-Economics, Principles of Financial Accounting, and Public Speaking.

That means, after this semester, I will only need to take seven more hours before I transfer. Which is good because then I will have plenty of time for electives. I usually like to make the Fall semester the more difficult one so I can lay back a little in the Spring.

Whenever I think about how I'm not majoring in music anymore, I get kinda sad. But music is my passion, so I didn't want to make it my career. I didn't want to turn what I love into my job. Not to say that I won't like my job....I love the work I'm doing in my internship right now. And it pays very well! But music is different....its what I live for. Not what lives for me.

So, I feel confident in the educational path I have chosen. It sets me up for a secure future. I can spend more energy on music, and less on worrying about security. It will allow me to be completely independent AND practice what I love. I'm excited. :)

On that note, I'm doing Choral Society again this year. I cannot wait! I wish I could re-visit the high school's Chamber Ensemble (that I used to be in), but....

Oh, and I'm working on my songs....I still need a band (mostly for writing purposes). I've recorded two already, but I still have six or seven that need to be finished. You can check out my first two on my music myspace http://www.myspace.com/carolinegallaghermusic and let me know what you think. Also, please follow me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/cgallagher08

I have GOT to get to bed. I'm going to my mom's for Paige's (my little sister) birthday party tomorrow morning. She's turning six!!
