September in Review

So... the last week of September... yeah. The first month of school has actually gone pretty fast. And surprisingly been incredibly busy. The last two weeks, I've had meetings on Tuesday... the one day where I actually appreciate Chapel hour. I have class/stuff from 830 until 1, aka 4.5 hours of paying attention. Basically, the hardest day of my week. My Senior Seminar history paper class now only meets on Wednesday, but we have stuff do pretty much every Monday. Also this week, I'm starting to tutor again. So yay monies but boo math.

I am currently taking a break from homework... so instead of looking at grad schools/other stuff and actually figuring out my life... I'm writing a blog :) But! I did look up York stuff (again) and found out the online application opens at 10 am on October 22! So yay! But... I have to make sure I have most of my stuff ready/almost ready by then.

Also in news this week, Laura (the internship coordinator for LCWS) is in SuFu Monday and Tuesday this week... aka now. My friend from Augie (who also went to DC, as I'm sure you remember...) and I are going to dinner with her tonight :) She was also in our 830 modern American history class this morning and it was great :)

And, last but not least, this weekend (Friday/Saturday), I'm going to Fremont, NE, (again) with my roommate/friend from the previous paragraph to get stuffs from her home.

School!

I have started my senior year! After a full week of classes, I think this year/semester is going to be good. I like my classes and they should be interesting. I'm only taking 4 and one meets only on Wednesdays. Coincidentally, the one day a week class is probably my hardest. It is my senior seminar class. It is my senior paper; 20-25 pages of writing and all that entails. I'm writing about journalism in the US during US involvement in WWI. I have some narrowing to do, hopefully this weekend, but overall I feel good. I'm also getting 6 credits for it because I have to do the Civitas final writing thing at the same time. Other than that, I'm taking German conversation and composition (which I should be working on right now), Imagining Antiquity (because they cancelled my modern Europe class), and modern US History (subject: equality; professor: awesome).

In addition to course work this semester, I'm playing intramural volleyball, tutoring math, mentoring incoming Civitas freshmen, and (drum roll, please) am vice-president of the German club! That last one was a spur of the moment decision when one of my friends asked if I wanted to be an officer with her (she's president). My other non-school activity is doing maid-of-honor-y stuff for my BFF's wedding! SUPER EXCITED!!!

Quick Grad School Update: If you're following my quest for a grad school, here's what I've done: nothing. Yeah, I need to get my game together. The University of York application doesn't open until October 22, so I have some time. Soonish I'm going to make sure I have everything ready to submit and then look at other schools.

 Good Luck to my big sis as she starts her Master's of Public Health program at Columbia in NYC!!!
