First Graduate

This post is part of an ongoing series of blog entries by Anjie D (FG3), a freshman at Barnard College writing about her college experiences on the blog Uptown Girl. Here's an excerpt of her latest musings.

I have been awakened.

I had been thinking about dropping my Spanish class (gasp!) and met with my professor, who referred me to someone in the Spanish department. In this meeting, not only did I get good advice about how to get my work done for the class more efficiently, but even more importantly I realized that help actually exists out there in the advanced-academics world. I may even be able to get a tutor to help with the challenges I have with grammar and with whom I can practice speaking (besides the Spanish speakers in my suite, who have their own lives to worry about).
