-Took 5 Polish classes (6th and final is tonight, but they are playing games and I am not in the mood physically to drive to Ansonia heehee) and they were a neat way of working on Polish (pronunciation, alphabet, nouns/vocab, grammar, etc.)
-In terms of classes, I have gone to NYC twice (soon will be three times) for field trips through my Honors class. I love going there and the short train ride from school is great. Too bad we were hit with bad weather each time (luckily just near the end of the first trip but not so lucky with the second trip being full of snow in October). I am also working on a capstone/independent study (which will also merge into my Senior Honors Program Project) for my Russian & Eastern European Studies minor in which I am writing a paper on Poland and the European Union. My internship at an international institute for helping new Americans is a mix of learning experiences and chaos. It has some value, but also a lot of frustrating moments. I do gain some from it, especially when it comes to crazy stories to tell...
-Almost time to register for Spring courses. I will take mostly psych courses since I am basically done with all requirements except for having enough credits and classes (just a couple shy for each). I think I will take some classes to help with what I may do next (intro to management, organizational/industrial psych, another internship). I also spoke recently with a business professor and she is helping me look at my options, especially when it comes to schools in Poland that would be better to apply to in terms of recognition. She gave me the good thought to contact schools I am considering to ask of any American students who have gone through the same programs before.
