Update?! Never...
Ah my wonderful blog, how could I forget it? What day is it? Where am I? I have no idea.
Let's see, lets get the basics out of the way. One, I am taking a break from pure math and science, and going out to explore the rest of what the Universe(ity) has to offer. Haha, lame joke. My courses in classical archaelogy, political science, electronic music composition and historical novel/film are excellent. No worries, I shall probably return to the scientific discipline in the coming semester.
My god, AIESEC. AIESEC has been crazy. With all our incoming newbies, regular members, creating teams, doing ROKS, and figuring out the whole president thing has been stressful but also incredibly rewarding. I am eternally grateful for a few members who I can really depend on when things get too burdening for me. So yay with that!
Summer plans I have not yet figured out. Do I want to do an Energy traineeship in Africa? Do I want to go to University of Michigan's archaelogical dig in Kadesh, Syria? Should I go out for an internship for National Staff? Should I stay in Ann Arbor, working for AIESEC MI and taking classes? So many options within the realm of possibility. Oh well, simply another aspect of my life to ponder.
With all that aside, I mentioned the energy traineeship in Nigeria. I find that I am becoming increasingly concerned and impassioned by the growing energy crisis. At ROKS this weekend (which was incredible by the way) I was faci'ing a session on the energy crisis and I realized that this is probably something I should pursue with my life. It is the perfect combination of science and the human element, which I was afraid I would lose going into a strictly physics-based field. I am terrified of The Ivory Tower, and I would like to do anything possible to avoid such a situation. Oh well, I am happy simply helping people right now.
Who knows what the future holds for us?
