This morning we started laying out our final details for our game and planned out how we are going to balance our time the next few days. I worked on the paper for an hour, and am feeling pretty confident about us finishing all of our deliverables on time. During the lunch lecture today, the speaker told us about her journey to her current position. She originally wanted to be an English as a Second Language teacher, so we spent some of our time with her discussing language and its quirks. She also gave us some tips on what conversations to have with your faculty mentor in grad school prior to starting so that you establish boundaries and have a good idea of your schedule of completing your project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m still debating grad school as my next step. I keep expecting that a job opportunity will come along that will be challenging and thought provoking and doesn’t require a master’s degree or a phd, but I feel like I’m slowly learning that is very unlikely, even though I don’t really want to go through many more years of school. I’m kind of tired already XD. I think by going through internships during grad school summers though will keep me motivated and aware of opportunities that I can take on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That got more thoughtful than expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
