Hi Chris,
Nice to hear you’re enjoying your senior year! Just imagine: in a few months, we’ll have our degrees!
I currently have a pretty full schedule, too. I’m taking two electives: German and Introduction to
Philosophy. My professors like to give a lot of reading assignments. And I’m in the Astronomy Club. We
meet in the science building once a week, and I take part in some of their events off campus. Plus,
there’s my job in the academic center on Mondays and Fridays. I’m a tutor for freshmen who want to
improve their writing.
Sometimes it’s hard to keep up with all of that. It’s okay, though. I hate being bored and prefer to be
busy. Write again soon!
