Can it already be December? It seems like I just arrived in my dorm at the end of August. All of my professors are starting to talk about finals and the “end of the semester” which seems so weird! I have two more weeks of classes, three finals and one paper, and then it’s holiday break. Time is a confusing concept in college!
I had a great Thanksgiving break. I went home to New Jersey and had a very simple thanksgiving dinner with my parents and younger brother. It was super nice to sleep in my bed and eat homecooked food! However, at the same time, I kind of missed the independence that college allows. You don’t really realize how cool it is that you can go to random lectures or movies on odd nights of the week….
Tuesdays are my super-busy days. At least compared to the rest of my week Tuesdays are the most jam-packed! I have two classes in the morning, I rush over to Central Square, Cambridge for LIFT, come back to Tufts for a yoga class, and then finnish off the night with an econ recitation. Tonight, after my recitation, I went to Hotung cafe to watch President Obama’s speech about the deployment of more troops. I thought it was a great speech and the President really spoke to all types of Americans. After the speech there was a debate/discussion about Obama’s speech that was sponsored by the IGL (Institute for Global Leadership). A lot of the students there were fairly critical of the speech and it was very interesting/educating to hear about their opinions of the war overseas and what Obama failed to mention in his address. There always seems to be something to learn!
