I'm nearing the end of my second week of classes and despite my general exhausting, I think this is going to be an interesting and academically fruitful semester.
I'm working hard with Model UN (organizing a high school conference at Mac, preparing our delegation to go to New York, setting up a documentary film screening, planning a cultural event called In the Kitchen With), Student Government (creating a Co-Curricular Transcript from scratch, working on various projects related to academics that are less interesting to outsiders and designing a logo that might be adopted next week), my intern position in Admissions (creating the foundation of a blogging program that's sustainable once I graduate and planning for the next round of interns to interview and train) and on top of that, I'm taking four courses (Critical Thinking, Philosophy of Language, Fourth Year Japanese II and Honors Independent). I also threw my name into the hat to be considered as a Commencement speaker. And I may be working on some paid research and pursuing co-authorship of an academic paper with my advisor, Christina.
And now, back to work. I've got research to do.
