April 23rd

The weekend is here and I am left with no energy!! The week went by fast and I had (and I still have!!) so much going on! I ended up writing four essays weekly and sometimes my mind just goes blank!! We are half-semester through and I am aware of the fact that the next six week will be extremely hard for me between due dates and exams! I am just so glad that I will graduate in June, so that I will be able to enjoy my summer with no thoughts in my mind!!

April 16

Another week is coming to an end. This week has been extremely busy for me. I had my internship, my classes, and also my pre-calculus exam, which unfortunately did not go that well. I have to admit that I studied a lot for it and I even went to tutorin sessions. However, the professor gave us really hard excercises and I just did not know how to solve some of them. Regarding the weekend,. I will spend it reading and writing! I have so many assignments to submit on Monday!! Have a nice weekend, everybody!!

The past two weeks have been very productive for me. Excactly two weeks ago, I found out that I have been accepted to Hunter College for the next fall 2010. This news could not make me happier since I tranfering to Hunter has been my most recurrent dream during the past 2 years. Altough I pretty much know what my major will be about, I found out that Hunter is offering some other interesting programs. For instance, I found out about a major in Comparative Literatures. Befaure, I wanted to double major in English and German, but now I am finding this option even more interesting. Moreover, I had an interview with the coorditator of the translation department and he also suggested me to look more deeply into this option. I want to become a translator and so I will take in mind his advice.

Other than that, I am struggling with all my classes since I have so many homework to do! It is hard but at the same time I find all the classes that I am taking this semester interesting and it helps a lot! Plus, this is my last semester here at LaGuardia, so thinking about having the whole summer free makes me feel much better!

The only negative not I have is about my API tutoring sessions. In fact, in order to fullfill my internship requirement, I became an Academic Peer Instructor for Introduction to Philosophy. I have to re-take a class I took last semester and provide a minimum of 3 hours per week of tutoring for the students of that class. I am loving this job but unfortunately not many people are showing up to my sessions. Usually I have one to two students and yesterday I had none. I know it could happen, especially now that everybody just came back from Spring Break, but noticing that the other tutors, who tutor sujects such has Calculus and Anatomy, get a minimum of 10 students per session makes me feel bad...Anyway, I hope that after the first exam more people will decide to come.
That's all for today, I have to head back to my homework now!!
