°Ä²Ê¿ª½±

I had one of my largest accomplishments this past week! I finally held my first ALANA event for the semester. As I mentioned before, I have been working on a cultural fashion show the entire semester with fellow ambassador Mi Seung Kim ’13.

This past week was an adventurous one for me! On Wednesday, I visited the home of professors Pilar and Antonio Barrera. I went with my fellow Latin American Student Organization members and we enjoyed great food and conversation.

School is in the final stretch and I am quite excited! This week has been busy per usual, but I am feeling great about the weekend. For one, I had a mix-and-mingle with the Chinese Interest Association on Tuesday concerning the trip that I will be making to China with the Benton Scholars Program.

I can’t believe it, this Monday, °Ä²Ê¿ª½± experienced a snow day! This is a very rare occurrence, and I was shocked to wake up to the text that spelled out the unthinkable! The campus was in a frenzy, though the students felt relieved to have a bit more time to cram for midterms.

This week was filled with learning upon learning experiences. I have noticed how much of the material I am exposed to while at lectures and other events can be applied to many of my classes, as well as to my life.

Throughout this week, I have been certainly keeping myself busy with my schoolwork, job, and extracurricular activities. Though I do not like to brag, I also would like to say that I was chosen to be the internal communicator for the Latin American Student Organization (LASO).

This past week I was able to again volunteer at the Hamilton Central School, and I was given the opportunity to meet some great kids and tutor them in Spanish. I’m so glad that I can continue to be a part of this project!

This week was a busy one, especially with the first wave of tests. I did have a chance to meet with a woman from the Institute for Recruitment of Teachers (IRT), which is a program that helps students with majors in the humanities, social sciences, math, and education with the process of applying to graduate […]

Driving up Oak Drive upon my return to °Ä²Ê¿ª½± brought an exhilarating rush of emotions. My friends called me and greeted me screaming before I was even able to unload my bags. This is why I love °Ä²Ê¿ª½±, and why I am so glad to be back.
