Academic. I got really good grades this semester. All As so far with an exception of an A- in a one-credit government seminar. I really enjoyed all my classes this semester.

I’ve had a great summer. My two Economics research projects went quite well. The professors were pleased with my work and I actually enjoyed it despite the fact that it was slave/bitch work.

Summer:  I have my summer plans lined up.  I’m going to do research for the professor I’m a TA for this year.  I’ll be looking up the minute by minute timing of earning reports for the 30 companies on the Dow Jones Industrial Average for the past 5 years.  I know this project educational.  Getting involved in real economics research that hasn’t ( Read more... )

Wow, it’s been an amazing spring break.  I went on a service trip to Wilmington, DE with a bunch of IV peeps.  Our days consisted of volunteer work, playing/tutoring little kids, and really good religious discussions when there was a spare moment.  Our group went on this trip through an organization called UrbanPromise, which works on educating and ( Read more... )
