An International Scholar
After getting some information on it today and running the idea past my parents (who were both very in favor of it), it seems that unless I get an absolutely awesome internship offer that I can’t refuse, I’ll be doing a mini-study abroad trip this June in Japan. One of the courses UTD is offering during the summer semester is a 2 week class/2 week trip focused on Japanese language and culture. One of my friends is doing a trip this entire semester over in France/Europe, and that’s one of the things that prompted me to go find out more about this program.
My afternoon was spent pretty much entirely reading and answering emails, so I got very little done in the way of work. Some other awesome news from today though is that the due date for my OS project is being pushed back about two weeks, and the last project is becoming a bonus one (which, as the teacher so aptly pointed out, I would not be doing). This drastically cuts down on the work I have left in the final 5 weeks between now and the end of school (yes, it’s really only 5 week from today until the last day of class) which make me a very happy person. Now if we could only have 48 hour days for the rest of this week (or just genetically modify me so that I don’t need to sleep), I’d be even better.
