Having spent the majority of my school life studying the sciences, and even the first year of university studying science, I found that I far preferred arts. Though science still remains a keen interest and even a "hobby" if you will, Arts is what I'm majoring in and what I'm aiming to get a job in.

Nothing wrong with a mixed backgrond. My beef is with the pure-artsies who think that basic knowledge of science and scientific method is not a life skill.

Well, I hadn't seen you around SB lately, and I was getting lonely...
Besides, I don't think there are enough guys in the world for me to flirt with to my satisfaction...

Bah. Wasn't it you who got annoyed when I called you "ma'am?"

Did I ever say that I was planning a trip to Iowa?

And BTW, Welcome to the board.

Does Social Science count?

I'm taking 4 histories and 1 geography right now.

About arts, I bet a lot of people just don't really know what they want to do, and so go for something easy. Arts are easy.

Me, I finished half a basic arts degree before switching into biology. It was actually family influence that helped sway the course.

..."The biological sciences are strong in my family. I am now a virologist, like my father before me." *ignites light-beaker*

gah, that is so corny.

At one point in my life, I was a music education major. Political bullshit within the school of music made me change my mind. I am not going to kiss someone's ass to get a better grade. It's not like I was going out there to make money from playing. I only wanted to be a band directer, geez!

What instrument you play?
And can you give me private lessons?

The easier answer is what instruments can I not play.
I'm not that good at strings, but I'm sure verilon would give you viola lessons.

And sure, I'll give private lessons. $125 and hour.

She was answering my question about her being in Iowa too (like Spanky).

My grandmother happens to live in Iowa City so I will be planning a trip to
Iowa sometime in the future. Probably not for awhile though. I was there a lot last year.

Then I'll charge you for travel expenses.

And the thread that started out as a welcoming party has become a descusion about logical education vs artistical education and musical abilities... ... oh well. On the logical side my college major is Chemistry with a minor in Premed... so my logical base better be stronger than titanium at the end! However, I still do arts as a hobby (charcol/graphite drawings, poetry, music... and if I could afford the time and money I'd take up painting again). As for music... I play mainly the only worthy insturment, the guitar :: smacks Verilons viola playing skills :: Past that I can play simple clarinet, french horn (very out of practice), trumpet (extraordinarly out of practice), simple drums (on good days), some bass (electric...:: smacks verilons classical string insturment playing::... not classical bass) and if I can play simple Sitar, Banjo, and Mandoline (probably all spelled wrong). Arn't I so spezial!

I don't think any honest newbie has ever made such a stir here.....

An art major, self tatooing, female... I'd say theres some reason behind the stir

At least she's not a Jourinalism Major

Now THAT could have gotten bloody...

Excuse me Larz, but what exactly is a "simple" clairnet?

Simple: I can play tunes like "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and "Bell"... but ask me to play a blues solo or a jazz accompiament and you'll basically get modern metal rock (AKA no melody screaming and screeching sounds). I should have said simple clarinet tunes though, my bad. But "simple" anything when it comes to insturments in my belief means simple to play tunes, nothing complex.

I'm bisexual, and with dredlocks too. Aren't I special.

And I'm a theatre/history major. Not art. But that's ok...I do draw.

Ah, ok. Makes more sense now. Clarinet was my major, that's why I asked.

I never understood the reasons behing taking theatre in college... if one just works at it they can learn to adlib, fake emotions, and memorize lines without having to pay over $1000. Does having a degree in theatre help to get theatre jobs or something?

I'M TAKING THEATER TOO! I took Drama in HS and loved it, so I'm in theater and enjoying it. Love history.
