two thousand and eight

My roomie reminded me that I haven't even started looking at the applications for my summer program. There is just so much to do starting next year that I'm afraid I might forget all about my Spain dream. I do need all the paperwork that I had needed for applying to US universities - but this time I will apply only to one or two places in all - so it will be much much easier.

There are two options - one is just a language and culture program with a choice of 3 or 6 credits - or an internship opportunity with very interesting academic courses like media, sexualities, society, etc. in Spain. Though the latter sounds very good, the former is more what I need right now. I need to take a break from academics and travel across the south of Spain for a month - without any compulsions and desis ;)

The only preparation apart from applying is getting a strong hold on my linguistic skills. I'm doing pretty well in my spanish course - but I will have more exams and tests along with so much film work in January and February - I will be on my toes constantly..

So I guess it is good to take stock of all that needs to be done as soon as 2008 enters - and also to enjoy whatever is left of this year. Sis is on her way - will be here soon :)

Oh btw, my clustermap vanished. Now I will not know you came :( unless you leave me a comment :)
