Week Three: Still Going Strong!

Okay, three whole weeks down! So much has gone in the past two weeks so let me catch you up…
First and foremost, academics. I am absolutely LOVING all my classes. They are so different from those at my high school in the fact that most are centered around a discussion in which you are encouraged to participate, adding in your own thoughts on the specific subject. This takes learning to the next level as you are able to articulate how your mind processes the information, as well as hear from others about how they view the subject. I have had some dates with the library, but I have learned so much in just these three weeks! I just turned in my first college paper, and I’m hoping for the best. I have visited all of my teachers during their office hours to introduce myself more formally, and have begun to develop relationships with them as I utilize their knowledge. My favorite class has been my communications class with Dr. Sibal, or Kenny as he would like us to call him, because that is my intended major. My English and Foundations courses have been tougher because they have really stretched my mind and made me think of things in many different perspectives. I have my first Biology test this week so keep your fingers crossed for me!
Now for the fun stuff! Outside of class I have been involved with so much. I love hanging out with the upperclassman girls in the sororities and attending their weekly nights of fun that are intended to help freshman girls get to know them better. Cookouts, TV, slumber parties, and movies we have done it all. I have been so grateful for how welcoming they have been, and it has truly made my transition easier. I have also been involved with the Global Scholars Program here at Georgetown and have been to many special events here at the college, and even a field trip off campus with the other Global Scholars. I attended the Involvement Fair this week and signed up to be a part of many interesting organizations including the Green Team. I even work a couple hours in the Wilson Art Gallery here on campus. There are so many ways to get out there and meet people, my only problem is fitting all of them in!
While going home is always refreshing, I find myself anticipating getting back to campus to hang out with all of my new Georgetown friends. I have already made connections with so many people, and I look forward to many more experiences with them during my freshman year. Stay tuned more adventures to come…
