The Semester in Instagram Photos

The semester is spiraling its way to summer. Finals end May 8th and I'm so excited to finish up and start preparing for my trip to Phoenix.

Here's an overview of my semester through Instagram:

We brought Campus MovieFest to Campus again: 

There were over 29 films submitted, and 16 films made it to our Finale. 

 I traveled to Minneapolis for the National Service Learning Conference. 

 SJL sponsored and co-sponsored events:

Spring Homelessness Forum, Genocide Survivor Panel + the Just Trade Fair

A semester full of projects, letters from friends, tea and thesis. 

An Introvert's Tale of Conference Travel

A month late is better than never at all...enjoy. 

I am an introvert, there is no question about that. I always have been, and attending conferences, conventions, or other large-scale events just exacerbate that fact. However, in order to make any kind of connections and enjoy yourself at these kinds of things, you have to step out of your comfort zone every now and then.

I had the very exciting opportunity to attend the 2012 ACUI Annual Conference in Boston this past March (THANK YOU, Region 1). Being the only student, both undergrad and graduate, in my delegation it was imperative (strong term here, but it mattered) to shake myself of this introverted-ness. As exhausting as it was to constantly be the butterfly out of the cocoon, I can honestly say that I had the best time. I loved getting to know my fellow Region 1 colleagues better and in a different setting. Per usual, I took away a lot of new ideas from ed sessions, and got some new ideas about how to better incorporate and integrate social media into our regional conference in November.

Overall, #ACUI12 was a great experience and I was so grateful for the opportunity to attend.

Beginnings

After many failed attempts at blogging, I'm going to try again....for real this time. I'm not quite sure where I want this to go yet, but I'm excited at the prospects of a building a space of my own to reflect and share the happenings of my life, my interests, and my travels.

Expect the unexpected. But I can guarantee honesty, recipes, stories from my time spent in Arizona, and fun.
