I went to (I want to write it in the past tense, but I'm still attending, hoping to graduate in May 2013) a Christian University in Nashville, TN.
I arrived as a Music Business major with the career goal of becoming a tour manager for a metal band. Slowly coming to realize that this is not really an obtainable job for someone with a vagina, I changed my major to Marketing- the logic being, that bands have to market themselves anyways, and the music business was changing so quickly anything I learned my first couple of years of school would be obsolete by graduation day. A general business education would be a better approach.
Somewhere along the line, a soccer coach got fired for being a lesbian.
Okay, she 'came to a mutual agreement' to leave the school, and signed something that said she couldn't talk about it, but we all know what that means. I quickly became involved in a few protests and some incredibly embarrassing news bytes. The coach didn't get hired back, but we got "sexual orientation" in the non-discrimination policy, and our student group, a sort of Christian-friendly GSA, was approved and associated with University Ministries. Victory.
At the end of my second year, I went to Japan. The tag for those entries is "Japan Journals."
My junior year, I spontaneously decided to join Student Government, met a different crowd of people, and learned about myself as a leader.
I realized that I had two semesters left and I didn't want to spend them sitting in Nashville, going through the same routine. So I looked for Study Abroad programs that would fulfill my requirements and voila, I'm going to Prague, Czech Republic, for the Fall semester of 2012.
