Final Entry

Well, this is my twelfth entry.  It’s strange how fast this year and semester went by.  I feel like it was only a few weeks ago that we were getting the syllabi to our classes.  Only one more year until I graduate, which is very scary.  This year has definitely taught me a lot, about myself and in terms of academics.  I have taken some informative and helpful classes, and I have learned a few different things about myself.

Cultural Anthropology is a class I took because I heard it was interesting and that the Professor was a really good teacher.  I learned so much about different cultures and what it really means to be in an ethnocentric society.  For a part of our final we have to write a mini ethnography, and I got to write about my recent trip to Israel.  It is so interesting to discuss how cultures are similar and different.  I really enjoyed the class, and even enjoyed writing the 10-page paper.  Next semester I will be taking medical anthropology, which should definitely be intriguing.

This semester I was taking 18 credits, I have an internship that I work at at least 15 hours a week, and I am the co-president of a club on campus.  I have definitely learned more about time management and prioritizing.  I am excited for the semester to come to a close, because I look forward to working and having a good first summer in New York.  I am also terrified because it means I only have a short time left before senior year!
