Midterms Are Finally Over!

Hello all!

It has been quite a few weeks since I last posted, and I apologize for my long absence. Unfortunately, I was more than a little busy with all of the essays and exams that I had for midterms. Luckily, midterms are finally over and I can relax a little and fall back into the more typical routine I've been used to. In a similar train of thought, I've started to plan my schedule for next semester! I'm not entirely confident in it yet, but I do know that I plan to take my next Macaulay seminar as well as French, Calc 2, and Physics. Should be a good time!

In other news, I've been having a great time going to events for my seminar. I went to an incredible concert/play type performance art thing in Bushwick a few weeks ago called Ghost Quartet! The musicians were incredibly talented and the songs were amazingly good, telling an incredible story within a story within a story. Since I got to see it for free as part of my seminar, I plan to go again just because it was that good. I also went to see the Fall for Dance Festival at City Center last Thursday! The Festival involves several short performances by a few different dance companies and the particular night that we went was a very nice mix of ballet, contemporary, and even African dance styles. It was a great show and I'm glad I had the opportunity to go.

Tomorrow afternoon, the Macaulay freshman and all of the freshman in the various Scholars Programs at Hunter are going to an assembly led by Colum McCann, a professor at Hunter, an internationally bestselling author, and a National Book Award finalist! Unfortunately, I haven't had time to finish reading the copy of his novel, Let the Great World Spin, that we received, but I'm about halfway through and it's absolutely phenomenal, so I plan to get it signed and then finish it! Another exciting thing coming up is my planned trip to see the Metropolitan Opera next Wednesday for my seminar which I am extremely excited about and should be amazing!

And with that, I think it's time for me to head to bed! I plan on going back to posting weekly now that I've overcome the hurdle of midterms and you can look forward to hearing from me more often now. Be well all!
