UNeventful?

This past week has been largely uneventful because we had a full week of school, and so every day was spent in class or doing work. However, I did manage to fit in a few fun things during the week, and after writing this blog post I realize that I did actually still manage to have quite a good time - so maybe uneventful is not the correct word to describe this past week. Last week, I actually trimmed my own bangs for the first time with success (aka I can see again, and don't have a completely messed up hair cut) and visited MOMA to see an exhibit for my Arts in New York Seminar class. We were given the option between four or five exhibitions in different museums around the city to visit on our own, and my friends and I decided to visit MOMA. I actually really enjoyed the exhibition, and would gladly go to more similar to it.

As I've said before, I'm in the Chinese Flagship program and this Wednesday we were visited by someone who works for the Department of Defense - in the National Security Agency. It was really interesting, she told us about internship and job opportunities and it definitely sounded like it would be a pretty fantastic job to have. Earlier that day, I went to the Brooklyn Museum with my Arts class and actually barely made it back in time for the mandatory meeting with my adviser. However, I did enjoy the trip to the museum and just made it back in time for the meeting, and right after that the instructional about the NSA, so all was well. Later that night was the Presidential Debate, of course, and everyone gathered on my floor to watch it. As a Pre-Law, Political Science major student (who took AP Gov last year in high school), I find it very interesting to watch political events such as the debates, but I also felt very bad for Jim Lehrer who could not control the course of the debate at all.

Last night my friends and I went to an undergraduate night at the Frick Collection. I would highly recommend going to the Frick because it is absolutely beautiful, and going to undergraduate or teen nights when it's free (or Sundays from 11 to 1 every week when there is a "suggested donation" policy) makes enjoying the beauty of not only the art on display, but also the building itself, even better. So, if you are ever looking for something to do on a Sunday at noon or if one of their event nights falls on a night you are free, I definitely say go for it.

I have my first midterm this Tuesday, for Economics 100, and I'm quite nervous for it. However, I have been understanding the homework rather well, and with studying this weekend I'm sure I'll be able to do well. Wish me luck! (And good luck to all of you out there who are starting on your fall midterms as well!)
