A New Year at Georgetown!

Hello Everyone!

I’m so glad to be back at Georgetown, and I hope you all had a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

Last time we talked I was gearing up for the final weeks of my first semester as a college student. That last week of finals was a stressful time but I made it through. I’m now ready to tackle my new classes and see what this next semester has in store.

First off I can’t wait to start my new classes. My schedule is full but I am so excited about the variety of material I will be learning. From chemistry to ethics and world poverty, I really like the fact that Georgetown presents you with the opportunity to diversify your learning and helps you see what all is out there, not just your major specific classes. For the time being my major will be Communication and I think the fact that the Communication department is full of great professors, has motivated my decision greatly. Each one has been so helpful in guiding me through the right classes and helping me with homework and other projects. They are one of many great departments here at Georgetown!

Secondly, I am very excited because this week is Rush week. Sorority and fraternity life is big here at Georgetown and I cannot wait to hopefully be a part of one of them. With delayed rush, or recruitment in the second semester rather than the first, I was able to become adjusted to this new lifestyle and meet many of the girls before making my decision on whether Greek life was right for me. So this week is going to be a little stressful with classes starting and recruitment beginning, however, I am ready for both and will keep you updated on the process.

Lastly, I am looking forward to all the opportunities I will have this semester. Being a part of the Global Scholars Program there are already numerous events on a variety of different topics scheduled, even one next weekend in Lexington to celebrate the Chinese New Year. I also work with the Georgetown College Radio station and was informed of the many events and new programs that will be starting up this semester, we may even be doing another live broadcast from the capital in Frankfort! Stay tuned I will keep you updated on that you won’t want to miss it! Besides that I look forward to attending the basketball games and soon the baseball games. There is just so much going on here that it is hard to choose but I would not have it any other way!

I hope your year is going well and you are still keeping Georgetown College in your thoughts on college, it’s a great place to be!
