Maybe having a social life is counter-productive

Since when am I the student who answers all the questions in class?

The one who goes out for coffee with her professors?

Who sits on committees of campus clubs? (As of this week I am one of two VPs of Communications for Autism Western)

Who volunteers with a professor and phd candidates? (Starting last week I code data into a computer system as part of a major project creating a database of all Spanish/Latin American-produced art and art housed in Spain - I get to look at paintings and listen to music!)


From my Guelph undergrad I am used to coasting on decent marks and keeping my involvement in school activities to social/religious-related occurrences. Hopefully this new involved citizen makes it out of school.

those activities are awesome.

It isn't related, you're right, except that I need professor references and volunteering and getting to know another prof who can vouch for my work ethic is key. I really enjoy pretty much everything i'm doing (well maybe not all the homework).

I had no idea she was here. I'll have to try and track her down, thanks for the heads up!
