Another nightly convo down with no mention of Foreign Policy. Not sure if this is a victory or not . . .

However, I am adding a minor (probably International Politics) assuming it doesn't add any more time on to getting my degree. I don't want to take 6 classes a quarter; 5 is hard enough so far. And I'm looking into maybe trying for a "Stay-In-School" internship with the State Department for next year.

I'm not waiting around for the okay. This is what I want to do, and I need to get the ball rolling so I have a solid plan in place before next Spring. Which reminds me, I need to look at grad schools other than AUP. Even though, if it is an option, that program would be the best choice. The French have a long history with the Arab world, and having a degree valid both here and in the EU would be an awesome foot in the door in a lot of different countries.

The fact that I wake up every morning wishing I was in Paris is just an added bonus. . .
