SU: Friday

So you're probably all dying to find out and I'm sorry to disappoint you, but my group didn't win the poster contest. However, I was really proud of my group and got to experience my first poster session. Ours was basically a trial run and only lasted for an hour and a half. Scott Nicholson, one of our professors explained to us that a typical poster session lasts for about four hours. I was exhausted after this one and was on the verge of losing my voice. But I felt my group did well and was confident with our presentation. Since I don't think I mentioned this in any previous blog posts, our topic concerned academic journals: rising costs and how universities could combat those costs.

Overall I had such an amazing experience this week. Just by looking at what I accomplished, I completed 4 semester hours in 8 days. That's insane in and of itself! But I had some great teachers and classmates that provided amazing support. Sometimes I felt like my brain could explode with all the information I learned, but everything was so interesting and exciting to me I actually couldn't wait to learn more. I'm excited to register for my classes this fall and some part of me regrets not being able to network directly on campus. I made so many great contacts and have the university to thank for that.

Hopefully I'll have the free time to continue this blog even though my immediately pressing coursework is done. If you've been reading, please check regularly for updates!
