Interdisciplinary Studies. I'm going to fuse Asian Studies(Japanese), Folklore, and Religion together for Religions in Japan.
I hope to go to get a master's in translation and interpretation (Japanese) and then get a Ph.d in Shamanastic aspects of Shinto.
OMG...I am interested in the Shamanistic aspects of Shinto as well...I'm surprised to find someone with the same interest...
My major is Literature...
And I have a whole lot of other interests that I can't sum up neatly...
I have considered Psychology/special education...and doing counseling/therapeutic work with depressed or autistic people...
But I don't think I am talented in that area...and I also don't have good impression on counseling...It is an important work, but I feel that in some cases it is financially taking advantage of emotionally vulnerable/unstable people...Although I believe many counselors/therapists are doing invaluable work...as in one of the books by Joanne Greenberg called
I Never Promised You a Rose Garden....It is based on the author's experience with Frieda Fromm-Reichmann, the renowned psychologist and the wife of Erich Fromm...She is such a brilliant person!
I wish to get certified in dance/drama/art therapy...though...and become a certified Jungian analyst!! !
And although it may sound unrealistic, I hope to get an MFA in dancing/fine arts (or maybe BFA for fine arts...) some day...and make my debut at New York Dance Theater Workshop!
