There is 6 more weeks, or 30 more days of school left until the seniors graduate. I know that these next 6 weeks will go by in a blink, and then I will be advancing onto the next level of education. I don't want to talk about poetry in this blog since I already wrote about it in my poetry response, so instead I decided to write about my next four years and plans for the summer.
For those of you that are not aware, I will be attending University of California, Berkeley starting August. I am planning to major in materials science and engineering, a discipline of science that combines aspects of physics and chemistry to synthesize new materials to continue improving technology. The MSE department is rather small at Berkeley compared to the other majors, so I get to enjoy both the large university feel that Berkeley has to offer with a concentrated group for my major.
This summer, I am planning to go back to Japan and spending about 6 weeks there. Hopefully, I get to experience my culture and help out with the country as much as I could. I plan to go volunteer in the northeast for the tsunami victims, and also backpack across Japan to further enhance my knowledge on my heritage.
I am really excited for this summer and Berkeley. However, I can't let senioritis get me too much since I need to maintain a B or higher in all my classes for Berkeley to not kick me out. I hope to finish the year out strong, enjoy the remaining 30 days of senior year, and then transition into the next stage of my life.
