I am back! After a very nice vacation from Wellesley, I am happy to be back and start my second semester. I am really excited for this semester. I want to see how much I grow and learn and I’m taking some really interesting courses. I am particularly excited about the Intro to Peace and Justice course as well as a first-year seminar on Einstein and the Dark Universe.
I am passionate about human rights and social justice so the Peace and Justice course will be something that really fits with my interest.
I have a love affair with astronomy so when I saw the Einstein class I immediately knew I had to choose it. I don’t have much of a background in Physics, so I am a little scared to take the class. But, I am hoping to learn something new.
My French class is also quite interesting. I can feel myself improving in French and cannot wait to see how much progress I will have by the end of the semester. My last class is my first-year writing course. It is mostly about reading books and writing our responses to it which as someone who loves to read, don’t mind at all. We’re also reading one of my favorite books, the House on Mango Street.
Wish me luck as I start a new semester!
