I met with an honors advisor this afternoon, seeking the answers to several questions. As to why my AP Spanish score (4) wasn't giving me proficiency status to meet the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences requirement: I came in with too many credits, meaning some got bumped, and don't count. Spanish was one of those, and since it doesn't count for credit, it doesn't count for proficiency either. So. I can either manipulate the credits I came in with so these will count instead; take the SAT IIs and prove proficiency with a high enough score; or take two semesters of a foreign language. I'm leaning towards door number two at the moment; it would also act as placement into classes, and I would like to pick up the languages again. At some point. My brother snarked on me: "Yeah, some people like to take more SATs for no reason." Have I mentioned my deep and abiding hatred for ETS?
My advisor also recommended I talk to the good folks in Peer Counseling for help with major selection. Maybe I'll get to take cool personality tests again. Those are always fun. She also suggested possible double majoring/minoring combinations of subjects that really catch my fancy. And she reassured me that I can change them around until I get collect 90 UF credit hours (3 years worth), which made me feel better. The plan right now: clean up the gen eds and keep taking 1) what I really feel drawn to and 2) general classes that will fit into most/all of the majors I'm considering. I still don't have any direction, but I feel better about it now.
