As a “retired D1 athlete” I am excited to be a part of the new running club! Many of my friends who were former members of the Longwood Cross Country team have come together to form this new running club and we will begin competition Fall 2020!! It’s a new club, so it’s not much to say but hopefully, I will be back to update this!

May 2020:

I have not gone on my study abroad trip yet, but I’m very excited about it! I am in the group going to Costa Rica in January 2021 and I’m hoping everything goes as planned and no virus stops my dream come true!

I took proofs with Dr. Boyle my spring 2020 semester. Honestly, I was worried about this course since it was a 300 level math class and I had already struggled with some lower-level math courses. However, I quickly got the hang of it and I learned to love proofs. The first few days were intimidating because the material was like learning a foreign language but after a while, I got the hang of it and found it was quite fascinating. Dr. Boyle had a nice way of teaching but when classes went online the class became difficult quick. But, I managed to stay afloat and learn some cool proofs techniques that I’m excited to expand upon come Modern Algebra!

This is one of the last few assignments I did for this class. When I first started it it looked impossible because the problems were new information to me and I had not seen it worked out before. One of the things I did like about this project was the computer program we used to type it. I’ve only taken one computer programming class and while at times it could get tough, I still found it very interesting. So, using this program to type the math language was pretty fun. After working on this project for what felt like hours, with a lot of help from Dr. Boyle, it finally got done. Just like all of the hard work I put into this class to finally be done!

I took Love, Sex, and Friendship with Dr. Blincoe my spring 2020 semester and I loved it. I enrolled in LSF after taking Markets and Morals with Dr. Blincoe because I loved the class so much. LSF ended up being just as great as I imagined, except for corona kicking us out of class! I learned so much valuable psychological information involving different forms of love that I found so interesting. Just like Markets and Morals, this class involved lots of reading but it was all interesting material so it was fun to read. I read our book Symposium with my roommate just because I wanted to be able to discuss the material with her as I read it. The material in this course it very enriching and I would recommend it to anyone interested.

The paper I attached was probably one of my favorite assignments. We were asked to do thorough research on the topic of love and how to have a happy marriage. I think this paper prompt was perfect for someone like me that likes to be creative with their work instead of making it like a dissertation. It was so much fun to write and read for my family!

I took Dr. Blincoe’s Markets and Morals class my fall 2019 semester. When the class was introduced on the first day of class I was weary because it involved a lot of reading and I’m not a big reader. However, as the course went on I began to enjoy the material we were learning and the reading became easier. I really loved the way Dr. Blincoe taught the class because it made topics like democracy, economic classes, etc., quite interesting to learn. I’m glad I took the class because it taught me things I was never taught in high school that I feel like I needed to know about. For example, it was intimidating on the first day when he mentioned socialism because I had never even been taught what socialism was.

Overall, I recommend this class to anyone interested in honors or even those not in honors who want to learn something interesting. I once told Dr. Blincoe I really enjoy his classes because being a math major means you’re doing math all day every day and a nice mental break from math to learn something new is very refreshing.

The paper I attached is one of my three personal reflections. This paper was answering the question of “what is a ‘good life’ to you?” I really liked these papers because they allowed us to really think about it and we were given a good grade no matter what our opinion was as long as it was sound and met the given requirements. I personally do not mind papers but I tend to be more creative than proper. Hence, I would much rather write a paper like this than a research paper!

This year we made history, going all the way to the semifinals in the MAC Tournament!

SAAC Tie Ball is always a blast! Love getting dressed up!
