school
so i am a student once again, woohoo! i have had all of my classes, and i think i am really going to enjoy this semester. my first class is a research class, which is no big deal. the professor is super cool, and has done research in capital punishment and wrongful convictions, which is super interesting to me. the only main thing for this class is a research proposal. there is reading of course, but the proposal is the big deal, and im not quite sure what i want it to be on. The second class is on controversial issues in justice and public policy. for that class we are focusing on immigration, capital punishment, homelessness, and drug legalization. it should be pretty cool, though the reading so far has been terrible, and we will have to do a debate. i am so not excted for that. in any case, im doing the debate with andrew, a guy i met on the graduate student day and hit it off with. too bad he has a gf, lol. i also have my third class with him, its a seminar in policing. i am super excited for this class bc i think i will learn a lot and that most of it will be practical. there is also no midterm or final, just a research paper and participation. and the cool thing about the paper is that it can be whatever topic we want, as long as it relates to policing, so i think i am going to do mine on the csi effect, though im not sure how im going to frame it. anyway, im still excited for this semester and class, and i have a ton of reading to do. of course i am procrastinating, but it will all get done. i even bought this super comfy chair and moved my furniture around so i have a sweet little reading corner. i love it. :)
in other news, what i was going to say over a week ago before i was interrupted by my sad news, is that i got another internship at the state dept, and i am super excited about it bc i got my first choice in placement. anyway, it doesnt start until january, and i have decided not to try to find another internship for this semester, because i want to just see how my first semester as a grad student goes.
i think thats all for now, but happy september and yay for school. :)
