-possibly painting my school's new mural.
-summer internship at disney
-illustrating 2 books for a teacher at my school

<p>Will my junior year be astounding enough for colleges to overlook my sophomore year? And am I even aiming at the right colleges? I'm planning on majoring in Human Computer Interaction, Multimedia Design, Visual Communications, or Engineering Design. Will the majors I am leaning towards affect the competition level? Can you guys recommend great colleges for these majors?(By the way I plan on going on to grad school at Royal College of Art-London for Interaction or User Experience Design so suggestions as to what route I should take are welcome as well!)</p>
