Week 1

Thought of the week: "Start out strongER to set yourself up for excellence!"

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to everybody reading this! Winter break is over, and we are back at it. I am actually quite relieved that Winter break is over. It is - ironically - less stressful finally ... Since the end of last semester I was constantly worrying about academic progress and my math class that I was not able to take. Not only did I take this course over Winter Break ("J-term") and earned an A, I also took the CLEP exam for Microeconomics and aced it!

This means that I am now taking classes that I absolutely adore. Intermediate Microeconomics and Macroeconomics, Environmental Science, and Engineering Calc 2 make up my schedule this semester. A nightmare for many, a dream for me!!

This semester has also been relatively difficult for the Ambassador program itself, already. Three people left our team and I can see that our mentors are struggling with some huge challenges. I really want to step up despite having to study, as I want to see the program that has given me so much flourish! I want all Ambassadors, Interns, and professional staff to succeed in their endeavors which is why I really hope that I can be of help somehow!

As of now, I have two CLEP exams left to take. German - which I am not particularly worried about for obvious reasons, and Biology. This sunday I will take my biology CLEP which I have been studying for frantically. If I pass it, I can drop one of my classes and fully focus on my middle/upper course work this semester.

So pleaseeee, wish me luck :)
