Last academic heart attack of the year
Today was my nerve-wrecking Spanish presentation for which I have been “preparing” over the last several weeks. I had to give a 10 minute presentation (in Spanish) over a 250pg modern work of literature. I find that whilst preparing these arduous tasks, I am breathing heavier, getting more irritable, and just not generally a nice person to be around. But at the same time, I am realizing that this assignment was probably the last Spanish presentation I will ever have to give in college. I am pretty much entirely finished with the Spanish component of my dual majors, so for the next year, I will only be taking Social Work classes. Part of me is going to miss my Spanish classes; analyzing literature, writing 10 page papers, procrastinating like there’s no tomorrow (ha, literally). Social Work is a lot less involved; the majority of my learning process is a practical application of what we study. In fact, I have a 3 quarter internship at Children’s Hospital rapidly approaching. But in any event, I delivered the presentation and now only 3 assignments stand in the way of my freedom from the 06-07 school year. I could not be happier.
