Countdown to the end!
So sorry I haven’t posted in quite a while, but I promise I have a really good reason for not doing so. Well, I guess the excuse is that I’ve been incredibly busy the last few weeks. Finals went well and I’m happy with my grades. Then I went home for the week of spring break. I was then flown to Boston for an interview right after spring break, so I didn’t even have time to unpack. The good news is that I have found a job! I’ll be working as Outreach Coordinator for the Global Development and Environment Institute at Tufts University. I have less than a month to find someone to sublet my apartment for the remainder of my lease, pack up my life and wrap up everything in Denver and move to Medford, MA. Am I freaking out? Yes. Can I do anything about this? No.
I don’t actually graduate until June, so you may be asking yourself how I am moving to Massachusetts to begin a new job in May. Well, that ‘s the beauty of independent study courses! I’ll be fulfilling my last nine credit hours through independent study courses. I can complete my degree even though I won’t be on campus. I am so happy that the incredibly stressful and time-consuming job hunt is over! It feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
Of course, our office is busy making the final preparations from Discover Korbel next Thursday and Friday, April 8th and 9th. If you are an admitted student, I strongly recommend attending this event. I came when I was an admitted student and it was a tremendous help in making my final decision. It’s a great opportunity to meet the degree directors and other faculty, speak to current students and alumni, and see the campus.
As always, feel free to comment if you have any questions, or email us at korbeladm@du.edu.
