November Update
The home stretch! For now, at least.
With only a little over one week away from the end of the semester, it's hard to ignore how quickly time has flown by. This semester has been really fulfilling, but I am looking forward to the long break in order to refresh and re-energize my focus. We've learned so much material since August, and I can't believe we're (almost) 50% of the way to completing our degree.
I went back and re-read my first blog post from September to see how, or if, my expectations and perspectives might have changed since then. At the beginning, I wondered how online lectures and the Covid precautions would interfere with my ability to really learn the material. I was mainly concerned with staying focused and distraction-free while at home instead of in a classroom. Thankfully, I haven't experienced any major issues or setbacks that I was not able to handle. In addition, I am really happy with my performance in our classes so far (even though I've fallen victim to second-guessing myself and changing an answer from right to wrong a couple of times....). I am very hopeful for next semester and I'm excited for the new courses we'll be taking.
Volunteering:
I haven't been able to volunteer much this month, but I do have plans to volunteer at Second Harvest more over the break.
I got the chance to volunteer at Glass Half Full for the first time this month. I'm a really avid recycler and my classmate Amanda was the one who told me about this glass recycling drop-off center located Uptown. I broke down a lot of cardboard and paper bags. My hands hurt, but I'm sure I'll be back!**
