We\u2019re halfway through spring semester (and this first blog post is long overdue)! I\u2019ve been up to a whole lot guysss\u2026<\/p>\n
So, I was lame and spent Spring Break on our beautiful, lonely, rain-full campus (Close to going on a backpacking trip to Death Valley with Puget Sound Outdoors, I decided to save for a trip to Mexico this summer with my best friend), which allowed me to recover from a very caffeine-intensive, high-stakes, sleep-deprived midterms week. During this free time, I hibernated for three days (because I was lucky enough to have all of my exams and assignments due the Friday before spring break!), repeatedly indulged in \u201cthe cookie\u201d from the metropolitan market, and then got back to work again\u2026 on the job search and getting ahead on schoolwork because, for seniors like me, we have 6. Weeks. Till. Graduation.<\/p>\n
The truth is, I\u2019ve mostly been looking forward to graduating since the beginning of senior year. Yea, I love learning at UPS and I\u2019m sure there are things I take for granted now that I\u2019ll come to miss. Maybe that we actually get rain here, maybe I\u2019ll miss being surrounded by people my age. But really, I\u2019m so ready to get out of the bubble!<\/p>\n
I should be more terrified than I am, considering I don\u2019t have solid plans or a job lined up yet. Also, I\u2019ve had to remember to graduate first<\/em> (and pass BIO 111), before stressing over the future.<\/p>\n In the past two years I\u2019ve discovered that what I really want to do is pursue a career that combines social justice and cultural heritage with the arts and education. I\u2019ve been looking at masters programs in cultural and arts institution management at universities in Spain and Mexico. For now, the plan is to stay in the Seattle\/Tacoma area for another year or two before exploring opportunities abroad, ojal\u00e1<\/em>.<\/p>\n I know right, borrring. I really have been up to more interesting things!!! Here are titles of blog posts to come in the next 6 weeks.
