Almost Done!

I'm so close to being done with this semester, I'm almost to the point where I'm counting down hours. I've been so impossibly busy.

My exam went moderately well today. Ish. My grade is pretty high in that class, so I'm not incredibly concerned if I didn't get an A, and I'm pretty certain I didn't. But I had no homework yesterday! It was incredibly nice. I read a book instead.

I've been reading a lot lately. Having my kindle to carry around with me has been absolutely wonderful. I really love that thing. I don't think I appreciated my first kindle enough.

I keep running out of things to do at work. I finished a montage of EOH clips (which turned out pretty okay if I do say so myself), transcribed some things for Bill (because I actually like transcribing things--who knew?), interviewed four NSF graduate fellowship winners (and got them all together for a group picture; thank goodness for Doodle polls), and finished writing all of the bios for the award banquet program. I'll still be working through finals, it looks like, to finish a video for the banquet. Some of it will be new--a compilation of pictures that Bill is putting together for me--but it will also be a lot of our current videos sort of pasted together.

I really like video projects. They're tedious, but linear and defined. I always know the next step. And I feel like I have a good intuition for them.

Next semester I will have a lot of leadership roles. I'll be an intern for a freshman orientation class, possibly a physics TA, english show coordinator for the equestrian team, and president--that's right, president--of SWIP! Good thing my courses aren't too heavy! I actually really like the way my schedule is looking right now. Nice and spacious. Room to go riding and TA and tutor and stuff. Fun stuff!

I'm not sure if I should change the title of this blog once I go to Cornell. The "journalism" part won't really be relevant any more. But then I think I have to change the website URL too? Maybe I'll just keep this. If I decide to keep this blog after I'm done with this job for MechSE, I'll change the name. But I'm still working for Bill next semester and the semester after that! So it will definitely be a while. :)
