April 13th...
Hi, everyone!
This blog is long over-due (so what else is new, huh?). Anyway, I’m sort of “sleep-typing” right now, but it’s high time I posted something….
Today was April 13th --- bad luck? I beg to differ!
Last year on April 13th I received THE e-mail, informing me that I had been accepted in the Honors Program at UNE --- and that’s when I decided I’d come here, I foresaw chances I couldn’t turn my back at…
This year on the same date I signed the RA contract – we had our Spring Training today, which was fun and interesting. I’ll be in charge of Avila 2nd next year (make a note of that when you fill out your housing contracts:P ). Oh, and my fellow-blogger, Andrew, will be the RA on Avila 1st --- that dorm will be “Bloggers’ Central” from what it seems:)) After today I feel I’m looking forward for this experience even more…
One thing you’ll get to find out about UNE is that it’s virtually a work in progress – it’s so dynamic at all levels, everything’s expanding, being reshaped, or even built from scratch – new buildings, new programs, new, young staff and faculty, new majors, new courses, everything… And because it’s all being worked on around us, we get to be an active part of everything and help put the pieces together, whether we do it as students, as employees, as staff members, as assistants, as volunteers… or all of the above… And I’m sure that having this kind of experience(s) so early in life is something that will carry out and be an amazing advantage later on, through the skills, the independence, the creativity, and the confidence we get to gain…
So, yeah, I just wanted to share some of my “midnight wisdom” :) And before I head back to homework (trust me, the night is young:| ), I want to share something else –you’ll get a kick out of these:
A couple of weeks ago (or maybe more?) UNE hosted that “Passport to Culture Week” that I’ve mentioned to you, guys, in a previous blog. I had a spotlight that week (thanks to everyone who came and put up with me:) ) and I took part in the International Fashion Show as well (both on the same day and spiced with a Chemistry exam in between, plus an excess of homework:) )
Anyway, here are some pics… Enjoy – I know we did;)
Take care, all, and whenever you have a moment available for slacking, think of those less fortunate who cannot afford such luxuries (NB: I warned you, I’m “sleep-typing”)
And these are from my spotlight:
