SC 201: Introduction to Sophomore Year

-
So I have now officially been to every one of my classes at least once and I have some work ahead of me as you can see in this fun colored schedule courtesy of the internet
For those of you that don't know I am a peer mentor; this involves going to the Scribner seminar with freshman and a weekly training course on Fridays. The seminar I am helping with is sponsored by the classics department and it is about ancient mythology and how it appears in today's society(in marvel movies) and the significance of that. So far it has been a fun experience however a lot of time as I worked the whole new student orientation. My kids seem like a good group overall but I can definitely where there will be some unwanted tension-but that's life. 

My other classes include a 300 level latin class where we are translating the Satyricon, an ancient novel about a dinner party, a 200 level philosophy course about Logic, a 100 level introduction to Political Science and finally a 200 level Spanish class. 

Overall I am excited about the classes but am a little overwhelmed. I have not quite gotten into a routine yet but I'm positive that it will all fall into place. 

That's all for now but I plan on doing more blog posts like this one to catch you all up on how my fall semester is going during this month! 
I hope you all have a great start of school or September

    I always had trouble getting up for an 8 AM class. Looks like you have two, and both two-hour classes. Good Luck. Bring coffee.

    That's also a very full schedule. More impressive with the mentoring activities.

    Have a great year.

I lost the game! and other fun traditions

-
One day last week, or maybe it was the week before, was national wear your camp t-shirt day-of which no one (at school) that I know participated. However there is no need to fret because yours truly-super counselor extraordinaire remembered and wore her staff shirt from last summer. This combined with the Hillel retreat where we sang a lot of the end of session songs and an email encouraging us to apply for summer 2020, reminded me of all the little traditions from camp that I wish took place more in my daily life. For my camp friends reading this I hope it doesn't make you too nostalgic, and for everyone else maybe this a way to bring a little bit of fun to the office or maybe the holidays. The pineapple game When you are out with a group of people the first one to point to the pineapple and say I win. Wins. Yep- that's the whole game. I do highly recommend it for group shopping trips as it brings a sense of adventure to what can be a drab day at the mall. Invisible ...

Less Busy

Yesterday I got up and worked on some papers and then around 11 decided to make up my mind for the day. I had a kind bar and hit the road. I went to the Barbican, Postman's Park, and Postal museum The Barbican is a really unique building because it has plants overall the windows. The Postman's Park is much smaller than many parks that I have been to but that there are some titles that describe heroic events live saving children from a fire. Finally the Postal museum was incredible. I didn't think that I would enjoy it nearly as much as I did. Also at the museum, you can ride the mail rail, which is the old mail cart which would run under the city. Overall I had a great time and I was able to walk most of these so I saw many new parts of the city. Today I leave for Derby today to visit a camp friend. Don't expect any more posts until Sunday Morning. Have a Great Weekend!

Meal Prep and a Movie

-
This will be brief because I am going to watch a movie with some friends. Today I got up and read in bed for a bit. I then got up and worked out before going foodshopping. I got stuff for the week and also to make Nutella brownies with. They were pretty good, a little gooey but that didn't stop anyone. I then proofread a paper and did more research for AA overall it was a really chill day.
