GREat

I just registered for the GRE.

To say that I'm terrified is probably an understatement. The score I receive on that one test determines if I go to graduate school, and which school I go to. Basically, the rest of my college career hinges on the score from this one standardized test.

Sure, I can retake it, but I would really like to do well the first time around. Your first score doesn't disappear, and given my perfectionism, it'll bother me if I have two scores.

Not to mention its an expensive test. Yikes.

Anyways, my life is pretty much going to look like this for the next month:

Stay tuned.

Woosh

That's the sound of all my time flying right past me.

Between my job (which I am still loving) and this mountain of homework, I haven't really had time for much of a social life lately. Not that I'm complaining (much).

It just makes me all the more grateful for the people I do get to share my time with and the things we get to do. Sitting out on the plaza or grabbing lunch with Tony, making plans for late dinner with Elsa, getting to know all of my co-mentors, and spending more time with Elyssa are all valuable ways for me to spend my time.

While I don't have much else to say, I do want to thank everyone that's keeping me sane this semester. It's going to be rough, but worth it.

Well, Hello Stranger

The stranger is me.

I was reminded recently that I do, in fact have a blog here, and that it's annoying that I don't update it.

Sorry!

I started the fall semester a week or so ago, and before that...I have no excuses.

But I started the fall semester! 18 credits, my heaviest course load yet. I'm taking almost all Anthropology courses and one math class. Unfortunately, they do make you take math, and they don't just let it slide since you're so close to graduation. Darn.

I'm also in full mentoring swing in the Student Success Center on campus. I'm assigned to mostly returning adult students, and so far I've met some really cool people! I'm super excited to be working with this demographic, because I feel like I understand where they're coming from (says the 24 year old college senior).

My co-mentors are really awesome people as well. I'm feeling really lucky to be part of such a high achieving group, never mind having such a great leadership position. 

I have a feeling that fall is going to fly by so fast. I mean, I don't want it to, but I'm anticipating that I'll be kept really busy with all of this new responsibility.

I do get to go to a leadership retreat at a camp this weekend though! I've never gone to a day camp before, so it's a new experience for me in more ways than one. I'm really looking forward to it, even if I do have to stock up on bug spray.

That's my life in a nutshell recently, but I'll do my level best to update this blog more often and with more interesting stories.
