A second weekend
bundled up in a North Face
How is it so cold?
So it’s basically floating around 55-60 degrees here everyday. I’ve had to bust out successively warmer clothes day after day, and I’m already wearing the heaviest jacket I have at school. All that’s left is to wait for it to start snowing and get colder, when I will start combining the jackets together to form more super-jackets that in theory will be able to protect me from the elements.
Things are going OK, I suppose. I’ve met a lot of new people that I find are pretty cool. These people are really diverse, and I’m pretty scared of them too since I feel like they’re all too smart for me =(. Northwestern’s average SAT score went up like 20 points since my year.
So for those who don’t know, I actually have an internship at TechCrunch, where I volunteered for the TC50 conference. It’s a pretty nifty internship. I work on their CrunchBase product and moderate, and they pay me. It makes my life a little busier than it would normally be, but it’s nice to have a job and to earn a little money to offset my spending.
Classes seem to be reasonable this quarter as well. I’m registered for two EECS classes, one Chinese class, one BME class, and one voice class. So far they all are moving along at a decent pace. It’s pretty quick, and I’m working to keep up with it. I’m hoping that the experience I had from summer orgo will affect me in a way to realize how I should be studying during the year.
My social life has been a little more down than usual. I feel like I’m falling more back towards my life freshman year. However, its not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes you need to go back to the past to remember why it is that you do things the way you do in the present. People change, and things change, and sometime you don’t realize it until you step back and take a look.
Currently, I seem to have caught some sort of illness, but I’m trying to fight it off by chugging herb tea, orange juice, aleve, dayquil, and nyquil. However, since everyone knows that I’m really smart and take care of my body, I went out to Old Orchard, a nearby outdoor mall and went shopping. It was rather chilly, but I was bundled up fairly well. Bought a new shirt, ask me about it and you can see the new green stripes. I think its actually one of my favorite purchases I’ve made in a really long time. Hopefully I’ll find some occasion to wear it.
Hope things are going well in everyone else’s lives; let me know what you’re doing!
