...down yourself. Instead, listen to Confi and start with Ryan’s cross-listed class, Comparative Literature 161, “Modernist Movements.” In typical Lit fashion, it serves up an otherwise tired topic with interdisciplinary, multilingual style. Along with the standard Eliot and Pound, students read in several languages, listen to sound poetry, and critique Expressionist art. Sweet.

Other nonprofits are catching on, offering flexible hours, leadership roles and assignments that tap individual skills. Habitat for Humanity, whose volunteers build homes for the poor, has begun organizing worker Care-A-Vans that travel the U.S., stopping here and there to pound nails. That setup holds special appeal to those looking for adventure, physical activity and tangible results.
