Bittersweet…
Hi everyone! I hope fall has been going well for you thus far. It’s my last year at Carleton! It’s crazy to think that it’s all coming to an end. I am looking forward to moving on, however, I am also sad to be leaving. I have grown to love Carleton so much – the people, the classes, the atmosphere…everything. That’s okay though, I have a lot to look forward too!
It’s been a really busy semester! I am taking five classes and doing my 4th year honours thesis project. To complete my elective requirements, I had to take some non-science classes, so I am taking American Sign Language and Spanish. I love them! I had a conversation with a friend the other day in sign language and it was such a neat experience. One doesn’t realize how difficult it is to communicate without speaking until that’s your only choice. My thesis is also going well; it’s been a very interesting project so far. My topic is: circadian variations in c-FOS (a protein) expression in the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus and the role of ghrelin.
As part of my mentoring position at the Science Student Success Centre, I have been asked numerous times about opportunities to get involved at Carleton. My most important piece of advice: read those MyCarleton e-mails! Those e-mails are the best way to find out about most volunteer (and employment) opportunities at Carleton. Also, if you are interested in getting involved outside of Carleton, MyCareer has a comprehensive list of opportunities available.
Next weekend I am going to the Ontario Universities Fair in Toronto as a Carleton Science student representative. I am so excited to talk to students and their parents! If you are a grade 11 or 12 student in the GTA make sure to stop by! I look forward to meeting you.
Talk to you soon – keep smiling!
