I'm pretty sure I've made the decision to drop out of the BFA program. There's been quite a few times I've stopped and thought about my real intentions with spending an entire year working toward a pumped up degree in my emphasis; and the truth is, I can't lie to myself anymore by saying that I want to do it.
I have a passion in fine arts, but I'm more interested in using that passion toward something else; specifically, academia.
Next week I'll probably meet with the professor in charge of the art history department at my school. From there, I hope I'll be in a few art history classes and less studio credits. I still want to work on my portfolio, but I'm more willing to expand in a scholarly direction than I am yearning to keep working in an artistic, visual manner.
Also, apparently in order to get my bachelors degree in art history I have to take two language courses; German is specifically listed. I've always wanted to learn German.
