To my latest inquisitive visitors who found my blog through various search engine terms: In general, students take 4-5 classes a semester here (6 if you’re somewhat crazy). This semester I’m taking 5! With a lighter load for EPIIC this semester, things are a bit more relaxed than they were last semester 
Which isn’t so bad, except the beginning of this semester was crazy. I flew back from India and started classes the next day, then launched right into working with The Vagina Monologues, which proceeded to consume all my time for the next two weeks. As soon as the play ended, the EPIIC symposium quickly became my newest priority. On top of all that, I was doing interviews and making plans for the summer!
Now, things are a little bit more calm. Tomorrow, I officially start my internship with an amazing organization working with education initiatives in the Mathare slums of Nairobi, Kenya. I will be in Nairobi from early June until late August working for this same organization, except this time I’ll get to actually do work on the ground
This semester, I’m also working as a Student Ambassador for alumni relations, which reaches out to unengaged alumni but is a far more pleasant job than telefund in that I don’t actually have to ask for money 
. Outside of this, I’m just trying to spend more time exploring Boston and surviving my classes- the former has been a success, as I’ve already left campus more times so far this semester than I did all of last semester!
Right now, I’m just excited we’re finally starting March, am looking forward to Boston in the spring time, and am feeling all around really good about this semester. I can’t wait to see how things turn out!
