I haven’t written one of these since the 6th grade, so I’m a little out of practice, but here’s my “What I Did Last Summer” essay.

I took some classes during summer quarter, including a CSE 326. Since summer quarter is pretty laid back, it seemed like a good time to branch out by exploring new areas of study. I decided to take an Art class and a Women Studies course. Summer quarter was a fun departure and I enjoyed stretching myself, but this summer’s classes also helped to reaffirm my choice of a major in Computer Science (because I am definitely not an artist!). During summer quarter I also TA’d for CSE 142. I always enjoy TAing and this quarter was no different. Actually, it was a little different because the course enrollment was much smaller than usual, but I liked the more intimate setting. It’s nice to be able to recognize more faces in lecture.

After summer quarter ended, I had a bit of a down-time before I had to move and start thinking about the fall. I got to relax and have fun with friends and family. I made a trip down to Cali to visit my boyfriend, watched a lot of Law and Order with my mom. You know, that kind of thing. One highlight was a hike to Camp Muir with my brother. It was a tough hike but the day we went was clear and absolutely beautiful. We had a great time, minus the fact that my brother basically fell into a crevasse. He caught himself and was fine but it was scary!

But enough about my summer- I can’t wait to hear all the details about the other officers’ experiences!
