It’s week 6! This term has gone by so quickly, and most of next week will be spent studying for finals. Most W students haven’t found the term system to be too overwhelming and stressful. In the beginning of the term, I honestly really enjoyed the term system, but towards the last few weeks, that’s when it became very overwhelming and hard to balance coursework with time for myself. I also really love the courses I am taking this system and feel like it was hard to spend enough time with the material. Wellesley decided to implement the term system in response to COVID-19 in the event that on-campus students need to leave campus, so it would be easier to transition to remote learning.
Last Sunday, we had acceptance night for Agora and over this week we’ve had a bunch of different events to really welcome the initiates into the society. Aside from Agora events, I’ve been keeping up with the NBA Finals over the past few weeks and cheering on the Miami Heat! Last night, my sister, her boyfriend and I went out to dinner for sushi and it was amazing.
Following term 1, we have a one week break before starting term 2 and I am so excited! I am planning on going to visit my boyfriend and spend a bit more time in New York City than I’ve been able to this past week.
Best,
Lynsey
