Almost the End
This week has gone by fast, signifying the end of Week 9!! I can't believe my first year at Evergreen is coming to an end already. It has really been a great year. Now I am working on putting together my portfolio for my Spanish contract to present to my sponsoring faculty during Evaluations week. I will present all my essays and translations to show what I've learned and how my Spanish competency has improved.
Next week I have a meeting with the Spanish advisers at the University of Washington to establish my level placement for next year. It's great that Evergreen has narrative evaluations for transcripts, rather than just a number grade point, and my portfolio is generally already prepared based on my former program requirements. I feel like I am a step ahead, which is helping to boost my confidence during this stressful time!
This weekend is going to be fun! There will be live Balkan music at the Greek restaurant where I work on Saturday night. Then, Sunday is the Evergreen Singers Choral Recital!! I'm so nervous, but very excited at the same time. But the best part is that my boyfriend is arriving tonight from California! He's an archaeologist and has been working far far away, so I'm excited to have the chance to see him... even if it is during Week 10. EEK! I should get busy... ¡Chau!
