First week of classes went pretty well. I still can’t decide whether I want my second major to be Gender and Women Studies or American Studies; therefore, I don’t know which class I should drop.
Tuesday: I went to my first GA of the second semester. It was held on Sproul Hall and it was freezing outside. I want to be a medic but I am going to need to get street training first. It was...
