What’s New With Me, You Ask?

September 21st, 2014 echen17

This past week has been really busy for me, but overall, it was great. Last Tuesday, I had the opportunity to go to a JP Morgan Networking Event in Boston. At first I was a bit hesitant to register, because I also had to submit my resume, but I’m so glad I did! I learned a lot about what JP Morgan has to offer career wise, and the opportunities they present students. So, if you’re ever questioning as to whether you should do something, just give it a shot, what do you have to lose, right? (In my case-at the end of the event, my feet hurt so bad-sometimes heels are not a girl’s best friend)

I also went home for a bit this weekend to apply for a passport, because I decided I wanted to apply to study abroad, and I guess having a passport now that I’m in college isn’t a bad idea (spring break is getting a whole new meaning? 😉 ) I’m looking at schools in England, and my roommate also wants to study in England next year. We’re planning on spending winter break in Italy (doesn’t that sound so nice?) and parlo l’italiano so we should be okay, haha.

On the academic side, my work load is… well…it’s there. Some how I always get all my work done. But those Thursday nights…before a problem set is due for one of my math courses, you can find me with a bunch of my friends trying to solve problems until past midnight, guaranteed.

See, this is the thing with math problem sets: you can’t finish them until the end of the week, unless you want to teach the material to yourself (and I’ve tried…and failed).

But this shouldn’t discourage you from taking math courses. I’m starting to like Thursday nights more than any night of the week, because my friends are in the same boat as me, and we have a great time laughing about anything (everything is funny after a certain time-me and 4 of my guy friends are always like, we should have a comedy show) and who doesn’t love eating pizza at midnight?
