Week 2


The career fair was not very helpful to me. Aside from collecting pamphlets on traveling abroad and doing pushups for Army coolers, I didn’t receive much help. I intend to major in film and media studies, possibly along with economics and then try for an MBA in graduate school. However, the film and media studies representative was not at his or her post both times I went to the fair. It’s not a problem though, because I will be actively seeking out counseling from advisors within my two possible majors as part of a career planning class that I am taking.

On another note, as far as meeting people, I’ve met most of my friends either by hanging out in my floor’s lounge, the San Nick game room, or simply sitting by them at lunch. When the year proper starts, I intend to meet people the same way at first by visiting other dorms and dining commons and by participating in musical clubs and intramural sports. I haven’t really connected with anyone in my classes, but I intend to work on that.

            At last Tuesday’s seminar, I was somewhat surprised and of course agitated that a large part of Egypt’s historical dig areas are now underwater due to damming. I was also very interested in the speaker’s recount of his work in Stargate. I really want to do as much as I can to make myself available and desirable (wanting to make films as a career) so that I may get similar phone calls like him later in life.
