I’m really glad that I decided to learn French this semester. It’s easily one of the best decisions I’ve made in school so far, especially because I very well had the option to choose literally anything else (especially something STEM-related), yet chose to take this module as an elective. I find myself looking forward to my Monday class every single week, and I can’t believe it’s already Week 8 and that this will be ending soon.
That being said, I don’t think I’ve been on the ball at all with my studies. I only have 2 mods this semester, yet I’m still finding myself really far behind in content and playing catch-up in preparation for my midterms. This has to change, so I have to figure something out this week - a plan that I can abide by for the rest of the semester.
I’m not sure why I’ve been so checked out of my Stats class, but I just have zero interest in engaging in any part of it - tutorials, lectures, Datacamp blablabla. At least my minor is cleared once this is done. I hope I do take away at least one thing of value from this mod. I don’t really know what I can do to improve my enjoyment of this module other than to get my hands dirty and dig deep into the syllabus in the next two days as I prepare for my midterm. Hopefully that helps.
Internship-wise, Cinch has been an … interesting environment to be working in. There’s so little structure and such murky directions given for projects, yet this kind of benefits me when it comes to my project because I almost have complete autonomy to do whatever I want and explore things at my own pace. The problem is that I’ve been restricted to solely this project, even though I wanted to contribute to the pricing engine that the other 2 interns are working on. That being said, the direction of that project is even murkier and the deliverables + deadlines being asked of these interns are genuinely ridiculous. I’m not sure how the remaining 3 months are gonna go, but I do hope I’m able to learn way more than just what I’ve picked up so far.
