<p>george eliot: I haven’t read that book, but now definitely plan to. Translating is a really great idea–it sounds like it could definitely be a fun challenge. The film suggestion is already in the works! Some friends and I have a 24 hour film competition coming up soon, so there’s also that.</p>
<p>Deborah T: Great list. I do a few of those (yoga class, informal book club) already and hadn’t realized they counted as ECs. I think I’m going to get involved with the community theater.</p>
<p>anotherparent: I was also thinking a folk instrument would be smart since there are many affordable options in pawnshops and the like. Specifically, I’m looking into an autoharp, hammered dulcimer, ukulele, or lute.</p>
<p>Other than what you all suggested, I’m going to work on getting a job/internship and researching with a local professor. Thanks!</p>
