Hmm.... I'm considering applying for the Honors Thesis program. It's a year long (2 semester) program for seniors. It's basically just another class in one's schedule, except you meet with your faculty advisor (of whom you choose), read a lot, and write a lot. Requirements: 3.7 major gpa, 3.5 career gpa and all pre-requisites finished. Surprisingly, I'm elligible. (I just have to *stay* elligible at this point). However, this would mean foregoing Japan.

Culture/Politics/Rhetoric...all the things that make people awesome or terrible. But again, when I find myself gerimandering the hours of my days into a very unbalanced map composed of "reading...reading....reading....reading...reading. eat. reading....reading...", I do at times think to myself: life is too short My point: I want (need) to drop Rhetoric of the Guilded Age. The only sad part I can think of...I will still probably attend many of the lectures. Given all these turns of events, I've been uselessly planning my future: Summer : take one rhetoric class (Only one!) to make up fo...
