Many students are more interested in doing a project than in taking the opportunity to define one. If that is the way you see yourself it may be better for you to work on something where there is a real need, existing resources, or an individual who needs assistance. This lists the files accessible from http://www.cs.ucla.edu/~klinger/directed.html, the directed projects page, and their projects, natures and contents.
