Oh me, oh my, where has the spring semester gone?
I sincerely apologize for my absence. I have been having some unfortunate issues with my health recently, and it’s definitely taken a toll. I was incredibly ill with flu-like symptoms right before the midterms and have been battling with stress-related physical ailments ever since. This semester has been challenging, to say the least. It’s tough enough as it is trying to take a Finance midterm when you’re feeling your best; it’s an entirely different story when you’re on the verge of passing out!
Keeping my energy levels up and staying focused has been difficult, and I’m grateful to all of my team members and professors for being so understanding, and my friends and classmates for being so supportive! I’ve had to significantly scale back most, if not all, of my extra-curricular activities in order to focus on getting better.
After changing my diet significantly (more fruits and veggies, less junk food and absolutely no alcohol… seems so simple, I know), I’m starting to feel much better! My doctor is encouraging me to incorporate exercise slowly back into my routine. I’ll have to start with walking and light yoga, then move up from there.
Needless to say, I hope I’ll be able to get back to full-strength before finals and before I head off for my Great Asia Adventure in May! I’m very excited to be participating in the IFS trip to China – I qualified for a multi-entry visa into China, good for up to one year! This is because I’ve visited China before recently (in 2010). I will also be visiting extended family in Korea before the trip starts, so I’m looking forward to seeing them and eating lots of delicious (and healthy) Korean food!
To answer the all-important corporate residency question: I am very happy to tell you that I accepted a position with Hamilton Sundstrand a while ago! I’ll be moving down to Connecticut for six months starting in June. My roommates-to-be and I have already found a fantastic apartment!
We’ll get back to the regular weekly updates soon! Thanks for reading!
