It feels great to be back to my room, I’ve gotten right along to decorating it and making it feel more homey than ever. With the help of my amazing roommate we created a masterpiece on our walls :D
Also, classes have started and finally getting down to doing my work. Until yesterday I was swirling around, basking in the post-break high. The workload is finally hitting me and its time to get focused people! I’ve got the following schedule for this semester:
Really really really really really (to the power of infinity) nervous about Calc II, I’ve only always heard crazy negative things about it and how difficult it is but I’m definitely staying positive and I’m going to give it my best. I’m excited about women’s leadership, as I hope it’ll give me an opportunity to rediscover the feminist side of myself, although that would be an interesting feat since my professor for that class is a man. Hmmmm. Other than that, there are the continuation courses from last semester – Chem and Physics and I’m taking Intro to comp for engineers. All in all, a great semester to look forward to, I have more time in between which I intend to use for joining campus organizations. In fact, next week there’s the first meeting for Engineers Without Borders (EWB) which I’m really excited to join. It’ll be amazing to join a group of people so motivated to helping others and changing people’s lives through their efforts.
Between all this work, I need to figure out what major in Engineering I want to declare. It has been very confusing so far, I was so sure that I wanted to do Biomedical Engineering but after listening to a lot of opinions my views are changing on it. Sometimes I just feel like the satisfaction of helping others would get me by, but then I’ve been hearing a lot about job shortages for people with only a bachelor’s degree in BME. I just hope I manage to solve this problem before the end of this semester in time for my major declaration. Engineering orientation lectures should come in handy there and I’m going to meet with an advisor either tomorrow or next week, call a close friend who is working after her BME degree to discuss and finally take some time to just sit and think this out. So here begins a serious start to this new semester, I just hope i'm up to it.
