Final Projects
Mar. 26, 2012—For better or for worse, there are a lot of indicators that I’m becoming an upperclassman (see Figure 1). I have a lot of (sometimes unwanted) responsibilities in ROTC, I’m finding myself considering leadership in multiple school organizations, and my schoolwork is maturing from problem sets to more design and analysis-based projects.
Already Planning for Next Year
Dec. 28, 2011—Right now, I’m sitting in the corner of Panera in my AOII sweatshirt and leggings, drinking coffee and typing on my laptop…it feels like finals all over again.

Dec. 24, 2011—Hi y’all! I took the semester off of blogging…. I had way too much going on, as I have often admitted!

Can you say “Time flies?”
Dec. 23, 2011—Well, the end of my technical semester abroad has arrived. All of my courses are done, I just have to finish up some essays and wait for some questions from one professor to complete my take-home exam. Time truly flies, and it’s amazing how much can happen in such a short time.

I moved out of Lewis yesterday, and now home...
Baseball Glove Lounge
Dec. 14, 2011—For the past week or so, the Baseball Glove Lounge has become my second home.
Majors declared!
Dec. 12, 2011—Today is an exciting day–I’m officially double majoring in English (with a concentration in Creative Writing) and Communications! Declaring my major wasn’t tricky at all (you may remember Eileen’s post on the process) and here’s what my experience looked like:
Feelin’ Accomplished
Dec. 12, 2011—As of yesterday, I am officially done with my political science class (and political science in general. phew.) and my french class for this semester.
Busting through the Finish Line; or, My End of the Year Wrap Up
Dec. 9, 2011—This semester has undoubtedly been one for the books. Multiple changes of majors, a complete change of requirements, dropped courses, favorite courses, and another finished semester!
Candy, Candy Canes, Candy Corns, and Syrup
Dec. 9, 2011—Today for Reading Day, there weren’t any classes so my friends Carly, Lauren, Abby and I went over to our other friends’ Lewis suite for studying, movie watching, and general merriment.
