I’ve gotten this question quite a few times as well. This answer can be tricky, depending on if you’re a domestic or international student.

Finished My Second to Last Semester!

I didn’t know which GIF to pick, so please pick one from this list: http://mashable.com/2013/08/06/success-gifs/

I’m feeling pretty great right now because I finished my semester last night! This year, I took Geospatial Information Systems, Project Management, and Client-Server Systems. I barely had programming to do outside of Client-Server, so that was nice. I also discovered that I like the GIS field! It’s pretty interesting, so I’m going to take another class next semester. Project Management was a random choice, but it will be very useful to me in my future because I’m interested in getting into technology consulting. It was amazing the amount of stuff that I took out of that class and applied it to my previous and future work experiences. I picked Client-Server Systems because I had some interest in telecommunications. It’s not really my thing; I find the concepts challenging. But, I liked that I challenged myself and now I have a better understanding of networks, etc.

I’m very excited that I am entering my last semester at the iSchool. While I love this place, I’m ready to go back home and start the new chapter of my life in the work world.

Time to celebrate the holidays!!! YAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!

Pitt Students Take A Stand

Yesterday, I went to a protest/die-in at the Towers. Students wanted to express their feeling about the recent police brutality that has been going on across the nation. I’m very proud to be a Panther and be a part of something so powerful. There were some who laughed and looked down at the protestors, but overall, I really saw unity among the university.
