Welcome back to Sigma Nu Zeta Omicron. Even though I\u2019m 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\u2019m still waiting my grades on them, what makes me a little nervous. I don\u2019t think I did good on them, a couple of days after submitting them I realized I could have done better. Also, I didn\u2019t had any exams, which gave me a more relaxing atmosphere. The only \u201cproblem\u201d 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\u2019s no big deal though.<\/p>\n<p>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 \u201cstudent employee of the year\u201d. I didn\u2019t 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\u2019t won, but the university is going to give me a \u201cstudent employee of the year\u201d 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\u2019m hoping for the best.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019m very bad at negotiating when it comes to money. Maybe I can work on Saturdays as a tutor, if I have time.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019m not staying on campus. I\u2019m going with 5 more friends to Chicago, and we are staying on the house of my roommate. I think it will be good, let\u2019s just hope it won\u2019t be too cold.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019m very worried about it. It\u2019s 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\u2019m prepared for whatever the outcome of this will be.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I think that\u2019s all for today. See you whenever I have time again. Have a good week.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-107\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/enzo\/files\/2017\/03\/foto-blog-ponte-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/enzo\/files\/2017\/03\/foto-blog-ponte-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/enzo\/files\/2017\/03\/foto-blog-ponte.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello!
