decisions, decisions...but do they need to be made now?

So, today my mom told me that while she and my brother were looking at classes on the BYU website, they happened upon a Family History--genealogy minor program. I have been slightly interested in studying some family history, partly because someone in my family will have to keep track of it someday. On my dad's side, one of my uncles has been doing the genealogy and my mom's side, my grandfather and his brothers. I'm a seventh generation Church member on both sides of my family, so like many other seventh generation Church members, I have been complacent about doing family history work because for the most part, it has been done.

It's a little late for me to start another minor, but I could get a certificate. The thing is, I don't know if I want to delay my graduation even more. I might not graduate until next December, or even April 2010. To be honest, I want to get out of here as soon as possible! I had just recently accepted the fact that I wouldn't be graduating until next August.

It's too early to decide, but I'm thinking about it. I just don't know what to do. I actually thought about getting a minor in TESOL, but again, that would delay my graduation even more.

I'm kind of going through a "what the heck am I going to do when I graduate?!" panic. I suppose I shouldn't worry so much because it's not like editing is an extinct profession. Pretty much the only reason I'm going into editing is because it's probably the only marketable skill I have.

Excuse me, I'm slightly pessimistic at the moment.

What is TESOL? And no, you don't have to decide now! Just take a class and see how it goes and how you feel as you go along!
