On life and all of its choices

I think it is really cool when things you have been pondering come up in every day life.
For example. Today I was reading an essay in Professor Caswell's book "An Inside Passage". He mentions that his wife is in Boulder, CO doing a degree at Naropa University. I think, how interesting.
For the past couple of weeks, I have been contemplating going to Naropa myself for a degree.
Right now, it seems as if the course of my life is going to take quite a drastic turn then what I had discussed in my previous posts.
Here is what I am considering so far:

1. Americorps
2. Social Justice/Human Rights MA program at Arizona state university (I talked with the director today, and the program seems awesome! It is really flexible, and I can direct my focus to either domestic or international issues. I can also do a CREATIVE thesis! HOW AMAZING!)
3. Breadloaf MA in English (a summer program. Caswell did it, and said that it would be perfect for me. Takes 5 years and is only taught during the summer)
4. Naropa...either a Masters in Contemplative Education or Writing
5. Teach For America

Terri told me, on behalf of advice she had received from Lynne, to apply and then consider what my options are once I have been accepted.
Any thoughts or advice?

I don't think I can offer any advice...

but I have thoughts. :)

All of the things you're thinking about doing sound AMAZING! :) I was wondering as I read it if it would be possible to do the Breadloaf MA along with one of the other things. I really don't know anything about any of them... but they sound amazing.

And I just wanted to say good luck. :)
