A Week in the Life of a CSAA Student, Part 3

Friday, April 24
After such a busy day yesterday, today was all about relaxation! I have made my schedule so that I have Fridays free. I appreciate that both my assistantship and practicum supervisors are flexible with my hours and allowed me to schedule my time this way.

It reached 90 today, and I took full advantage of the pool at my apartment complex. I needed to feel a bit productive, so I brought some homework out to the pool and did some work poolside :) Later, I played racquetball and enjoyed leftovers from the banquet for dinner. One huge perk of student affairs is the leftover food after events!

This weekend is Twilight, a bike sports and music festival. Amy and I decided to go downtown on Friday and were surprised to see the extent of the festivities. One block of Clayton street was blocked off and there were bike demonstrations, food vendors, and tons of people! We visited the Winery and the Globe before calling it a night. I had a great time catching up with Amy and the beautiful weather just added to my enjoyment!

Today was another beautiful day and I decided to get some things done around the house. So I put in the first season of Grey's Anatomy and did some spring cleaning of the kitchen and my bedroom. In the early afternoon, I received the UGA Alert about the shootings downtown (I will post more about this later). I didn't realize how serious it had become until my father called and let me know it was receiving national attention. I had wanted to go downtown and check out the second day of Twilight, but thought it would be best to stay on my side of town.

I later went for a run and made some dinner before heading over to a friend's house to watch the draft. It was a nice, relaxing, but also productive day!


So that is it! A week in the life of a CSAA student! Like I said at the beginning, everyone has different weeks, different workloads, different work styles. I work best underpressure, so you probably won't see me doing a ton of work ahead of time, but I know many of my classmates that will do a little bit of work each night. You will find what balance works for you once you get into the swing of things in August.

I hope you enjoyed this glimpse! As we get closer to the first day, I will include some articles about the best of Athens food & drink, Georgia residency information, as well as some updates from CSAAer in the internship! If there is anything you would like to know about, please shoot me a comment!

For those who are graduating in the next few weeks, GOOD LUCK!
