“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, all foes to real understanding. Likewise, tolerance, or broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.” - Mark Twain

Returning to the Classroom... As a Student!
It is hard to believe that I am actually a student again, after a four year hiatus. Last Friday I had my induction to DESTIN (Development Studies Institute at LSE) and I was at the edge of my seat the entire time, I was so excited. My aunt makes fun of me because I guess one year at the end of the summer as we were shopping for school supplies I said something to the extent of "I love school... and I love getting organized for a new school year." I guess not much has changed since then because I was just as giddy hearing my professors describe their background, interests and the classes they teach. All of the classes looked so good I wasn't sure if I would be able to actually choose. The department encourages us to audit anything that we are interested in that we aren't taking for credit... so needless to say I will be sitting in on MANY classes. I am just making sure that my Ambassadorial Scholarship is being maximized!
*Hopefully my classwork will be a bit more thorough and intelligent...
