Well, this week has definitely been a crazy one. I had 5 exams this week, and 3 of those were in a row on Wednesday. Needless to say, I’m very glad it’s finally spring break.
Now that I’ve gotten into at least one MPH program (University of Arizona so far!), I’m struggling with senioritis even more than I already was. Staying motivated in some of these crazy difficult classes is well… crazy difficult. I’m way more interested in figuring out where I’m going to be in the fall and what my adorably tiny apartment might look like than studying physical chemistry. I’m still waiting to hear back from a few schools, but knowing I have somewhere to go is reassuring. The schools I have left to hear from are Emory in Atlanta, Tulane in New Orleans, and USF in Tampa. The common theme here is places that are warm because let’s face it, this winter has proven that I definitely hate being cold.
It was definitely fitting that I read the Southwestern and California Legends unit for this week since I just got into U of A. I had fun imagining the stories from Arizona in the places I’ve been hiking around Tucson.
As I’m finishing this up, I actually just got back from visiting my parents in Tucson with my boyfriend for Spring Break. It was his first time in Tucson, so we went hiking two days in a row and drove around in my parent’s new (to them) 1980s Mercedes SL convertible. It’s absolutely beautiful. I think we ended up hiking 11 miles one day and 5 the next, so needless to say, we were both pretty sore by the time we left on Saturday. My parents made us lots of great food, and we celebrated their 23rd wedding anniversary Friday night at this amazing Italian restaurant, so all in all, it was a pretty great spring break. Back to slaving away for just a few short weeks before graduation, though! I hope I can make it until then...
Hi Lillian,
ReplyDeleteAfter five exams, I'm sure you certainly were ready for a break! That sounds hectic and stressful…but I'm sure it was a constructively difficult experience.
Regarding your acceptance into MPH programs, congratulations! It's nice to hear that you're excited about your future graduate studies, and that you're aiming for warm climates.
Also, the hiking sounds awesome! The pic of the landscape is very cool.
Best of luck with your semester and future graduate studies.
