I hope you are all doing fine.<\/p>\n<p>Well, nothing much happened this week and everything is pretty normal. I have classes every day and papers all weekend. Also, I\u2019m reading more this semester than I used too. The only thing that is bad about it, is that even though I\u2019m reading more, the pace of which I read the pages are the same. I think I read very slowly, (I take about three minutes per page), I could really save more time if I read faster. Well, let\u2019s just hope that this is something that I will develop with time.<\/p>\n<p>Even though I\u2019m kind of busy all the time because I\u2019m taking 18 semester hours of classes, I will take the same amount next semester. Still, I hope that my classes will be calmer. I mean, with less homework, or at least with fewer papers. I really don\u2019t like writing papers. Last semester I was lucky enough to not have to write any papers for any of my classes. I hope this happens again. Oh, talking about next semester, a great opportunity appeared.<\/p>\n<p>Hillcrest Marketplace, the dining hall where I work, opened applications for student leads, which is a kind of sub-manager. I applied and this week they told me I got an interview. I really look forward to that, but I\u2019m also very scared, because I never had a job interview before. I think I can stay calm in nervous situations, and I hope I will do well. I really want the job, and if I get the job, I will start next semester.\u00a0 It\u2019s funny how some things that change between semesters we can control, like the courses I will take and my \u201cnew\u201d job, and others simply occur throughout the semester without us barely noticing.<\/p>\n<p>For example, last semester I used to go with my friend to the mall on Coralville every Saturday. That was the \u201cSaturday tradition\u201d that semester. But this semester I have only been there a couple of times, I think. What became my \u201cSaturday tradition\u201d is going to the movies at Film Scene, a non-profit movie theater, that has a partnership with Bijou and offers this program called \u201cBijou late hours\u201d on which they show a movie every Saturday at 11:00 p.m. free for students. The movies they show are pretty good too, this Saturday they will play Donnie Darko. Also, they always give away prizes before the movie begins, I have won two DVDs there. I really recommend it for anyone. I wonder if this will be my tradition next semester too or if I will find something else. One place that I always wanted to go in is the \u201cForbidden\u00a0Planet\u201d, a pizza place with arcades, but I really haven\u2019t had the time yet.<\/p>\n<p>Well, that\u2019s all I have for today. See you next week.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-121\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/enzo\/files\/2017\/04\/foto-blog20-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/enzo\/files\/2017\/04\/foto-blog20-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/enzo\/files\/2017\/04\/foto-blog20.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello and welcome back to Sigma Nu Zeta Omicron.
