That's the thing, though, I'd like to be able to do a year-long internship of some kind, and hopefully travel abroad. Research, and then take courses at a local state-school before I return. I feel as though it'd be a good life experience.

For me this is also about taking time to understand what careers look like in the field I'm studying for, taking time to experience new things, and getting "caught-up" in a sense with many CS students at my level.
