Woohoo!
I’ve done a lot today, but I’m going to start with the last thing I did. I just had my tutorial, and it was really good. I don’t know if my essay was that great. Lee has us do cover sheets now, though, and I think I pointed out my weaknesses well. And then during the tutorial, I think I held my own. I’m still a little mixed up on dates, but I knew quite a few events, so I could point to examples. Now I just wish I had used them better in my essay, but the reason the tutorial was good was because I actually could use the examples to prove my point now, I think. So I feel like I learned a lot, and I think I did well in the conversation. So that made me happy. But then I was going to go shopping, and I forgot that everything except Borders closes at 5. And I didn’t feel like Borders today. So I came back here, and decided to write in my blog.
I think I’ll read a little tonight too. But at the moment, I have career magazines on my bed that I got from the Career Center this afternoon. I went there for a “Prepare for Career Fairs” presentation. Then tomorrow and Wednesday I’m going to go to a couple of career fairs, although there probably aren’t many companies there looking for someone to work in Louisville, KY. But you never know. And if nothing else, it will give me some experience at a career fair. So on Friday I think I’m going to go back to the Career Center when one of the Career Advisers on duty is a girl who is specializing in international students. So maybe I’ll have some things figured out about what I want to do when I get back.
Lastly, this morning I went to the Languages Center at the University. They offer language courses each term for 20 pounds. Unfortunately I was too late to register for the classes. But I’m on the waiting list. And even if I don’t get in, I went through the library induction so I can use the library. And they have a lot of resources. So I’m going to learn Russian. And Kyle said he would help. And then we can talk in front of people and they won’t know what we’re saying. Hehe. Or just go to Russia and be able to get around. So I’m actually going to try to do that. Russian may not be the most useful foreign language to have, but for me I think it’s still more useful than only Latin.
So that was my day: Language Center, Career Center, and tutorial. Oh my gosh, I’m writing a conclusion for my blog entry. I’ve got to stop writing essays soon. Can’t wait until June!
