Summer 2006 Plans

1) Write Latin American Civ essay (20pages, sec­ondary research as the pri­maries are in GLYPH FORM. I wish I’d real­ized that detail when the semes­ter was still under­way. Ouch.)

2) Watch nearly every British period film/series avail­able in the Springfield Greene County Library sys­tem. I’ve a list from Katherine, no less.

3) Study for the LSAT (September 30) and the GRE (some­time soon).

4) Prepare prospectus/biblio and a rough draft for both my inde­pen­dent read­ings of the fall: Constitutional History (sem­i­nar paper for his­tory with Dr. F. T. Miller) and Constitutional Law (an elec­tive with Dr. Alice Bartee). I’m going to love next semes­ter. It’ll be mur­der, but I’ll love it.

5) Spend a week­end mini-break in Kansas City. Not the most illus­tri­ous of towns, but it has both Katherine and Kristin and is thus good enough for me.

6) Write my schol­ar­ship and grad school appli­ca­tions ahead of time this year.

7) Wait for my frus­trat­ingly sprained ankle to heal. I walked out­side yes­ter­day with­out it being wrapped, and I re-sprained it. Lovely. Independence Day Parade! Pre-election appear­ances! Et cetera!

9) Prep the College Libertarians group for the Fall semes­ter and for my grad­u­a­tion in December.

10) Try to pack it all in suc­cess­fully. I’m start­ing to doubt that this is pos­si­ble. Am try­ing to decide if I’d like to take a year off between my BA and my MA/JD… extra study time for tests, and the year and a half would be spent in South America with my fam­ily. Probably teach­ing English. It would be pleas­ant, but I’m con­cerned about the extra year between now and my ulti­mate grad­u­a­tion, etc. I need to con­sult with the pow­ers that be.

11) Liberty and Current Issues sem­i­nar in DC, mid July.
