Things have really started picking up-- we've barely had two full weeks of classes but so much has been going on and I've kind of gotten into a routine so it actually feels like we've been here for a lot longer. One new addition to this year is that I've started working as a Spanish tutor at the Penn Tutoring Center, another one of the school's great resources. So basically, tutoring services are provided to all Penn students who want it for the majority of the really popular beginning and intermediate level classes (things like Bio, Chem, Math, Finance, Econ, etc...). There are general walk-in opportunities at the Satellite Centers, but you can also request a private weekly tutor if you want something more consistent and individual. And the best part is it's COMPLETELY FREE! So there's no reason not to check it out, and it's also nice to know that if you're having a little trouble with a class, there are support systems to help out.
In addition to working at the Tutoring Center, our club gymnastics practices have started picking up which is always fun. Some nights (actually, most nights) I go more to hang out with people than actually work out. Practices end up including anything from karaoke, cartwheel and handstand contests, running up walls, volleyball, and dance parties. It's a great stress reliever and a nice mental break from thinking about class or recruiting stuff.
