My very eventful summer!
I can’t believe it’s already two months into summer vacation! I have already done everything I wanted to do this summer – from going to lots of concerts, to running the 5k during the Ottawa Race Weekend. I’ve also been busying dancing and performing every opportunity I get, going to weddings and travelling quite a bit. I can’t complain! This summer has already been so eventful and there is still two months to go!
I have also been working full-time with the Office of the Dean of Science at Carleton. I have been looking at the topic of ‘Women in Science’, researching the status of women in science in Canada, what factors contribute to women’s under-representation in science, what programs exist throughout Canada and internationally that target these problems as well as what we can do in the Ottawa area. I had the opportunity to present my research findings to a group of women from the Ottawa area, including the President and CEO of the Canada Science and Technology Museums Corporation. It has been such a neat and interesting project thus far, and I can’t wait to see what comes out of it!
The class schedule for the 2011-2012 school year came out last week, so I have been busy planning my classes for my 4th and last year at Carleton! This upcoming year I have to take a lot of non-science classes, so I am finding it quite difficult as I really don’t know what I want to take! I think I am going to try a variety of subjects, including history and political science. Why not try something new? It’s the perfect opportunity!
On the topic of it being my last year at Carleton, I went to convocation a couple weeks ago to see my good friend graduate. I was so proud of her! I can’t wait until my convocation!
During the summer, I have also been spending some time researching what I want to do after graduation. I’m looking into a lot of graduate schools and also thinking about applying to medical school. Making decisions is so tough – I’ll keep you updated!
Until next time,
Amisha!
