I'm only in my second semester of my freshman year, but I'm also pretty ambitious and driven, not to mention insanely passionate about my education right now. I'm gobbling up practically every book I see, regardless of topic or relevance to anything, in addition to my required texts.
In regards to research, the thought of researching for the rest of my life doesn't particulary interest my young, naive, ideallistic freshman mentality right now. I want to influence people and get them riled up enough to change things themselves (screw cliches!).
Roach,
How did you get involved in your fellowship study, was it like an internship? I am totally interested in traveling and taking in other cultures and societies, get me out of Iowa hahaha. As a university prof you are a huge resource, what kinds of things could I do to realize my goals of traveling and learning and eventually entering the job market?
Edit: I'm freakin' crazy now!
