Hello! Welcome back to Sigma Nu Zeta Omicron. Even though I’m late on my post again, this week was the most relaxing one that I had since the beginning of the semester. I think that getting done with the papers I had, even though I’m still waiting my grades on them, what makes me a little nervous. I don’t think I did good on them, a couple of days after submitting them I realized I could have done better. Also, I didn’t had any exams, which gave me a more relaxing atmosphere. The only “problem” I had this week was that I usually do my math homework on Tuesday evenings. But ICON went off on this day, preventing me from doing my homework on the time I wanted. Still, it came back by the night so I lost some time of my sleep doing it. It’s no big deal though.
This week was not only relaxing, but it was also very happy. On Tuesday, (it feels that everything happened on this day right?), I received an e-mail from the university congratulating me, because without me knowing, my manager at Hillcrest dining hall filled a form for me and indicated me to be the “student employee of the year”. I didn’t even knew they had something like this. The e-mail said that they received 42 indications and I was on the 22 finalists that were reviewed for the prize. I didn’t won, but the university is going to give me a “student employee of the year” water bottle and my name is going to appear on the Daily Iowan on April. Nevertheless, what is more important for me is the recognition I received from my manager and co-worker, it really is amazing to know someone is noticing all the work you are doing. My workplace also started applications for student lead, which I applied. Now I’m hoping for the best.
Speaking of work, a minute after I wrote here that I wanted to become a Chemistry I gave up the idea. Because I went to the web-site to learn more about it, and it turns out that I have to make my own appointments with however is seeking my help and discuss the payment with him/her, so I would not have a fix salary, and I’m very bad at negotiating when it comes to money. Maybe I can work on Saturdays as a tutor, if I have time.
Time. Time is passing by too fast this days, it seemed that the semester began yesterday and next week is already spring break. Unlike thanksgiving break last semester, on this one I’m not staying on campus. I’m going with 5 more friends to Chicago, and we are staying on the house of my roommate. I think it will be good, let’s just hope it won’t be too cold.
Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. I do not have any papers for the moment, but I have to prepare a speech for my rhetoric class. I’m very worried about it. It’s supposed to be a four minutes length speech, including the time to show a commercial which we have to talk about. But I have a lot of concerns about my English, what if I make unforgiven mistakes and murder the English grammar during this four minutes? But it will be what it has to be, so I’m prepared for whatever the outcome of this will be.
Well, I think that’s all for today. See you whenever I have time again. Have a good week.
