ria_oaksOkay, new school-related ideas are growing in my head... Mom showed me this program, and although I'm not sure that I'd do this particular one (it's full, anyway), the idea of doing a study abroad program for a month or so this summer in Europe is intriguing me. This particular one is April 28th-May 30th, primarily in Florence with a few days in Rome, and concentrating on the Renaissance. Sounds really interesting, and if I decide to go ahead and switch to a History Major then it would give me some credits towards that. I think it'd be a great experience, and it'd let me study abroad for a short time without doing a full year or even a semester. Plus, I'd love to travel this summer and this would be a good way to study and travel at the same time. I've been looking around online and it seems to be surprisingly hard to find other programs like this, though. I might get in touch with the coordinators of this program and ask how long the wait list is... just thinking about it right now. ^^ Besides, if I went at that time maybe I could meet up with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bronzejarith in Florence for a few days. That'd be cool. ;p
Still thinking hard about maybe changing my Major, too. It'd just be difficult to get all the credits I need, and I don't even know for sure if I want to major in History. I could pretty easily switch to a English Major-History Minor, but I just really don't want to take that much English... this brings me back again to the problem I initially had with the Major program - I really don't have a particular subject that I want to focus on. Maybe I should switch my IDST program to a Literature-History focus instead of Communications/Film/whatever the hell it is right now. But I would still have the problem of it being more difficult to get into Grad school without taking extra courses, if I do decide to go to Grad school (and I'm pretty sure I'll eventually want to do a Masters in something, 5-10 years down the road). I dunno. ;_; I need to go see an advisor.
ETA: Here's another one that looks interesting. Though it's American, so I'd need to find out about getting transfer credit from the US. It's got more variety in courses, but otoh the one from Malaspina College in Nanaimo (from the earlier link) is a. Canadian and b. has a Rome segment. I don't know, I still need to look at more options. I'm wanting to do something like this more and more, though.
