someday

amidst a finals week from hades (or rather, any regular finals week, but the case here is that i haven't gone through a week like this since last year), i find myself putting down my work and researching... graduate school. more specifically, graduate schools that offer programs in peace studies in its various forms: peace studies and conflict management, peace and justice studies, religious studies with a focus on peace studies , international peace and conflict studies, and my personal favorite, peace education (although there are many more to add to the list, it's surprising, well, sort of). so, i think, i don't PLAN on attending grad school QUITE yet, but i know that someday i certainly want to, and when i do, there are a number of things i'm interesting in studying. of course, foreign language, education, peace studies, and religious studies-- i think that about covers it. so what does a person do who wants to study just about everything? i've no clue, i'm no expert on this. go to school for the rest of my life, i'd assume. that's ok, i can do that-- i mean, doesn't that mean a lifetime deferment on student loans? that doesn't sound too bad. ;) but seriously, i don't know when, and i don't know where, and i really don't know how (and most particularly, with WHAT MONEY!? other than the good ole' government's), but i'm determined to study peace studies in a formal class setting in my lifetime (beyond the nonviolence, peace, and justice class i'll be taking of swasti's next semester, which i'm totally psyched about). i just thought i'd make that formal declaration. now, i shall continue taking this terrible take-home environmental essay test that's basically worth my life. happy studies!
