So I sign up for classes tomorrow...and I have yet to determine what I am going to take!

All my friends said "Didn't you go to your advising appointment?!"  And yes, I did, but we only figured out which classes I needed required for my major.  Now I have no idea what else to take!

Okay that is kind of an overstatement.  I am pretty sure of most of my schedule, the only thing I am iffy on is which Political Science class to take for next semester.  I was unsure about making PoliSci my minor (the sweet trendy name college kids use for political science) but I took the introduction course last semester and I really enjoyed it.  I'm definitely taking my Global and Historical Studies class, part of the Core required here at Butler, so that I can knock out almost all of my core classes between the next two semesters.  Then it will be time to start applying for internships... eeek!

I am nervous about going through the whole internship process, but I don't think it will be too traumatizing.  We have a really great internship coordinator in the school of Journalism and people have been able to get internships from all kinds of companies.  I went to the journalism banquet last week and it was great to meet some of the upperclassmen that I had never had the chance to talk to and hear about some of their experiences academically and out in the "real world."  One girl in particular told me about a 42 page research paper she had recently submitted about the Boston Massacre and its reportings in the two major newspaper sources of that time period.  Forty Two Pages.  Wow.  And I think a 12 page research paper is a lot.

It was interesting to hear about where different students had completed their internships.  A girl who is actually a Theta was able to do an internship with the renowned Alvin Ailey Dance Company in New York City!!!!!  This was super exciting for me because that is right up my alley.  I'm really thinking that something in the arts is where I belong.  I danced for 13 years and I'm really starting to see how much I miss it.  I love musical theatre and all that good stuff, so something arts related would definitely be fun.  Plus I'm just not a sporty person at all.  If I did PR for the Colts or something Indianapolis would evict me from the city.  I pretend to understand sports but I really have no idea what's going on 99% of the time.

Well, I'm off to figure out the schedule.  Wish me luck.  Hopefully none of my classes will the closed
