this semester is shaping up to be a busy one, ironically. who knew that taking an extra semester of classes you don't need could end up so chaotic. but, such is my life- taking on too many things and never sleeping. i kind of love it that way. i can't really function unless my life is crazy. for one, i am in the process of completing an honors thesis for my capstone and graduating with high honors. as much grief as the honors program gives me, i can honestly say that it is one of the big reasons i came to UGA and to graduate without high honors wold be a waste. i'm also presenting my policy on inclusionary zoning in Athens at the Center for Undergraduate Research symposium in March. the undergraduate research component of UGA has been another incredibly awesome experience i'm not sure i could have gotten elsewhere. its nice to have a few pieces that have either been published or could turn into something publishable in the future under my belt all before i finish undergrad. roosevelt has continued to keep me busy. we're hosting a southeastern policy conference in April and i've become the point person for it. we have 6 seniors on our board and this is kind of big way to go out for all of us who have spent the last 4 years living and breathing the roosevelt institute. everyone's invited to attend! i would love to have you guys here to see what it is that i do and how much time i spend working on something i really believe in. this post didn't really start out as a way to just talk about all the stuff i'm doing, but i realized that i forget to let you guys know what i'm doing sometimes and this is just an easy way to tell everyone at once.
being in arabic again has been a struggle to say the least. taking a year off was a bad choice, like milk on a hot day. i love the language so much and really want to be good at it, but that requires so much work. here's to me committing and really busting my butt to get good at it. hopefully some of it will pay off and i'll be in egypt next year making it happen.
tyler and amber- i know you guys are bummed about ASK not working out, but i really believe you'll know where you're supposed to be soon and that something will work out. i know it's hard to be patient and let these things take their course, but breathe easy and know that it will work out exactly how it's supposed to.
brad and lea- i cannot wait to eat lobster tail and all the ridiculously good food you tasted the other day at the trump. april is going to be a stellar month.
love you guys so much! i miss you all and look forward to hearing about life in your part of the country.
go. dawgs.
