\u00a0<\/b>Hey everyone \u2013 if you\u2019re just checking in, I\u2019ve decided this week to post a blog a day in the spirit of capturing day-to-day life at Puget Sound. Check out my daily posts here \u2013 there will be one a day until at least next Sunday. Enjoy!<\/i><\/p>\n
I got so busy today that I almost forgot about my week of blogging project, so here I am at 9:30 at night taking a break to write my post de j\u00fbre!<\/p>\n
Today marks the halfway point in my week o\u2019 blogging project. It\u2019s been a fast week of blogging, too \u2013 it doesn\u2019t feel halfway over yet. This blogging milestone brings to mind another halfway point drawing near. My second year of college is almost at a close, and in three weeks I will be halfway through college. It\u2019s crazy to think that I\u2019ve been here two years, and next year I\u2019ll be an upperclassmen. But long-term musings aside, I\u2019ve got more pressing concerns in the short-term: I\u2019m barely half done with work for the week!<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been quite a day, too \u2013 most of my week it seems was concentrated in today. I had all four classes, plus a meeting with a professor who works at the Writing Center to discuss our liaison program where writing advisors go into freshman seminar classes to help work with students on writing, plus a meeting with a computer science professor on their research. In addition, I submitted a proposal to attend the National Conference on Peer Tutoring and Writing with another writing advisor. We had a really productive meeting Monday, put the finishing touches on our proposal today, and sent it off. I also put together a grant proposal to apply for funding to attend the conference and sent that in, too.<\/p>\n
Now that that\u2019s done, I\u2019m working on a scholarship that involves designing an iPhone app (in one week!). If I get it, I\u2019ll receive funding to attend another conference in June! More on that tomorrow when I send in the application.<\/p>\n
And to top it off, I also had a great conversation with a friend about (surprise!) going to conferences.<\/p>\n
Well, I can\u2019t complain \u2013 the sun was out, and I was lucky enough to have two meetings out in the sun (at the same exact spot). All in all, it was a great and productive day. I\u2019ll have a little time to catch up on things tomorrow \u2013 mostly some last minute homework before next week, which will include the last day of classes and the start of reading period! Crazy \u2013 I can\u2019t believe the last day of classes is here. I\u2019m not really ready, but I\u2019m excited for all the departmental celebrations that will happen next week, and for summer, which is just a few weeks away now!<\/p>\n
That\u2019s all for now! Check in tomorrow for some details on the app when it\u2019s finished!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
