As my time here at Cornell continues to wind down, I find myself scrambling to make sure that I actually get to do everything that I came here to do. I chose this place for a reason, and despite its terrible winter weather, its incredibly stressful lifestyle as a result of its seemingly endless stream of exams, there is always something more you can do to take better advantage of your time here

I’m not really taking any classes in my major this semester. Well, technically I am - they’re core requirements - but they’re completely different from the classes I’ve taken the past few years. This semester is widely known to be “the semester that Jenn has been dreading“. I put all of the worst classes, or at least the classes I liked the least, off until the last possible moment. Now I have to take them all at once.

Today was my last Monday at Flickr. It’s unbelievable how quickly this summer has come and gone.
I’ve been doing a lot of wrapping things up - working on a presentation, documenting things, tying up loose ends, the usual. What really caught me off guard though was the appearance of my “academic” life in the final presentation I’ve been working on. I don’t want to say much about it right now because it’s not quite finished yet, but for the first time, I’ve found myself actually USING what I’ve learned in class in a real world situation. Crazy, isn’t it?

As I mentioned a week or so ago, I’ve been trying to get myself in the back-to-school spirit lately. Despite my best efforts, I can’t help but sound like a giant ball of bitterness anytime someone asks me about school.
Since I’m generally a pretty visual person and photos usually help me get out of a funk, I thought I’d pull up some of my favorite photos from Cornell’s campus to try to reignite my spark and make myself see going back to school as more of an opportunity rather than an impending doom. And since I figured this page could use a little photo flair, I’ve decided to post some here. Enjoy!

As much as I’d like to deny it, I still have one year left of school and that year begins in just over a month. Ick.
On one hand, I’m really not looking forward to leaving San Francisco again and heading back to Ithaca where it’s cold, dreary, and miserable. Don’t get me wrong, I like Cornell. I even miss it a little. But the sheer thought of having to battle it out with the weather, (some) of the people, and then academics? It’s just not appealing to me this time around. I want to go back and see my friends and get back to work on the Sun, but everything else? No thanks.
