Okay, not really. I had a very sedate weekend, made better by the fact that Halloween lasted an hour longer than usual.

Got my final recommendation for my RA application over the weekend, as well, so I have officially submitted my application for the coming semester. One of the awesome things about this job is that if you submit a complete application, you get an interview. Mine is next Thursday.

Today my interest was sparked in Psych class by a speaker who came to pitch a student volunteer program, where you can go to Costa Rica, Thailand, Australia, etc. It sounds like fun, but upon further study, the cost does not equate what you can do there. For $1,000 plus, you can go for two weeks to work towards conservation of a country's ecosystem. For almost $4,000, you can go for a month to just play.
I would love nothing more than to spend time in another country, again, but a) I have a lot of course work that I have to get out of the way if I'm going to graduate on time and b) there have got to be less costly opportunities. I don't doubt that I can do it, if I really want to. It just may mean putting off buying a car for another few years. (probably worth it...)

I'll do some research.

And now, Religion class.
