You sound just like me, the whole total insane motivation

Well, this year I applied to a program called JSA (Junior Statesmen of America)

Depending on where and for which course you apply, the dates of the program vary. But I would say they are all between 3 to 5 weeks long.

So what you do is choose a course to study for the time you are there. They have courses like international relations (I’m doing that one at stanford), ap gov., ap macro (or was it micro?), ap history, speech and debate, etc. etc. It is basically an intense summer course for which you get credit. There are lectures, tests, essays, etc.

These programs are held at stanford, georgetown, princeton, and then there is also one in china.
