Its peak college essay season and I still have few to finish up before the New Year begins, but I have just received the position papers for my committee to review. I always look forward to seeing some of these ideas and getting hyped for the actual conference in the next few months. This year I am little more independent with these papers than last time, as it is my decision to decide and notify the schools and students who need to add either information or formatting (only major exclusions). Deciding whether to send a paper back or not is based on whether they fulfill the standard requirements. However, this decision is largely centered around debating whether, from the information given by the paper, will the student have a productive time at the conference. While sending a paper back is in my eyes the best thing for the student, I know from helping with the students at my school prepare that what is on the page is not necessarily representative of their knowledge. This is at times difficult to judge simply by the information on a page as I do not actively know if this all they know, or if they know anything of what they say. I am glad though that soon I will be able to put faces and people in front of the papers at the conference in February.
I have recently just joined my schools theater production of Clue the Musical. Acting is not my forte, but I was able to be a part of this school activity as a member of the cast as the Assistant Stage Manager. I decided to join this production because in previous years at the school since I was an infant I there had been a production that would feature the entire class or school where everyone would take part. As a whole I enjoy this creation and process of these productions and being able to see the everything come together at the end, so I decided to be a part of it. It was also encouraging that I knew many people involved with the Clue production and once I expressed an interest they ensured I went through with it.
