..it really got me interested in a way that I wasn't with the hard sciences anymore. So I switched my major to pre-law.....I also had a Theater minor [because I didn't think it was practical to have it as a major]....after another year I finally realized that Theater is really where my passion lies...by this time I was most of the way done with my Sociology/Criminology major...so I decided to change my Theater Minor to a Major and just get both degrees......outside of my schoolwork I was keeping crazy busy..the first couple of years I was involved in student government...and I was recruited for the Women's Rowing Team my first week on campus...the coach practically got squished in an elevator door coming after me to ask if I'd come down for tryouts...little did she know..I'd already signed up :) I was on the OSU women's rowing team for 4 years and it had a profound effect on me. I also acted in and directed plays at the university theater and was the resident prop mistress for 3 of the years I was there. After my sophmore year I had to get a job so I started working part time here and there....at one point during my senior year I was working graveyard shifts at an assisted living facility...I don't even know how I survived that year...I know I was a bear to live with since I got very little sleep and was constantly stressed to the gills....but somehow I survived it all and graduated in the spring of 1999 with my 2 degrees...I stayed in town for the summer so I could perform in one last show at the theater and then in the Fall of 1999 I headed back to California.
