Accepted to the Bachelor of Arts in Multidisciplinary Studies Program!      Meet the newest Multidisciplinary student on campus!  Actually I am shy 0.2 points from being a junior, which is a prerequisite.  But they said, "What the hell, come on in" (or something to that effect).  I am so so happy!  Spent the next two hours ditching the carefully and early submitted fall schedule that was already programmed in, for a brand spanking new line up of classes I can't wait to take.  Hmmm, maybe with the exception of math.  But who's counting.   Fall Lineup - 1.  Math (for people who know absolutely nothing about math) 2.  Sociology 101 3.  Multidisciplinary Studies 300  (the class where I design my curriculum for the next two years) 4.  Foundations of Leadership 325 The wild ride just picked up some speed.

     In history we are finally to the 1960s.  We have been reading this book for weeks, which started with history in the 1600s.  What that means, basically, is that now I am reading, studying, and taking tests on events that I actually remember!  It's as if I'm in the book.  I'm pretty sure I'm the only student in the class who is reliving these events as we read, remembering where I was and what I was doing as they occurred.  Hey, I could be a source material!  I cannot accurately explain how very strange this feels.  The main jolting realization is to see now what was really going on then, with the deeper truth that time and my adult understanding brings to those events of old. Who remembers the 60s? Yea, I watched that. Yea, we owned one of those (the van, not the girls). Yea, I painted that on my face. Yea, I never missed an episode.

I just submitted my request to change my major. Wish me luck! http://mds.boisestate.edu/ Life Statement      My name is Susan Fullmer and I am interested in changing my major to Multidisciplinary Studies (MDS).  I had been walking through the SUB the other day, and the MDS electronic posters that I have seen many times since starting school in January, suddenly took on a new hue.  I live my life by intuition and I knew that it meant something for me.  I walked right over to the information desk, pointed to the poster and said, “how do I find these people”.  Needless to say, the information folks were very helpful, and later that day I had a meeting with Rebecca Morgan.  What a pivotal point that was.  All of a sudden my student life seemed very, very exciting and some of my educational career concerns seemed to melt away.  For these and other reasons I am now seeking to change my major from Nurs...

     I have been focused daily for the past 6 months on learning (for the first time in my life) how to study and do well in college.  I am now a lean, mean, study machine.  But abruptly, my summer classes are over and I don't start fall semester for another month and a half.  I have literally forgotten what it is I do when I'm not studying.  What the hell am I supposed to do now?

I'll be wearing this on my first day of math class this fall semester.  Just so we'll all be clear.
