My life is entirely theoretical.

My life is RIDICULOUS.

I will be taking three senior seminars, all three of which require a final research project (i.e. senior thesis). To finish in four years, I have to take nine classes a year (four per semester [aside from study abroad] + J-Term every year). I also really want to do a big research project over the summer having something to do with Arthur. I could make that into my senior seminar. Possibly.

Should really get that together, but first I need to come up with a good field study proposal for when I'm in India. I have the topic, but I need to refine it. Slash learn a lot more about India.

Yes, count it. That's FIVE independent research projects for my undergraduate career. FIVE. Unless the Arthur project becomes my senior seminar.

I also need to complete two internships, but if I do one at the White Earth Land Recovery Project, it counts for both Social Justice and Environmental Studies. Or I could also do an internship at the Twin Cities Center for Victims of Torture.

I am ridiculous.

Will definitely take quite a bit of time off between undergrad and grad school. Yeah. That sounds like a good idea. Don't know what the hell I'll do, but I don't need to yet.

I'm not all that stressed about all of this, but it's not entirely pending at the moment.

I figure I need to figure out my India project first. Then I can think about where I'll be next summer.
