Major/Minor Fair and INT 95 2nd Section Summary.

Today was a really resourceful day due to the fact that today was he Major/Minor fair. I spoke to a few representatives who represented the College of Letters of Science and other who are part of the Department of Chemistry and biochemistry. I spoke with the individuals from the Department of Chemistry/Biochemistry because I was a little confused about the courses that I would take during the fall quarter of this year and the years coming. The name of the representative that I spoke with is Jennifer Ramirez  gave me some good information that really helped me understand where my major is positioned in the college of letters and science. That's what I thought until I spoke with another representative of the College and Letters and Science. The representative, who's name I did not get, told me some other information that kind of conflicted with Jennifer's. I am majoring in Molecular Biology and the representative of the College of Letters and Science told me that it depends on the field of study pertaining two my major specifically. Apparently there are two types of majors pertaining to Molecular Biology. One of them is Molecular Biology-Biochemistry and the other is just Molecular Biology. After speaking with her I decided to speak with an individual at the EOP table and she gave me a good summary of what the program is all about and why I should take advantage of it. Lastly I spoke with someone from the EAP table because I was curious about what the program is all about.

On Friday of last week, we met up with our TA for our 2nd section of our second week of FSSP. Our topic of the day was about resourcefulness. I believe that in order to be resourceful, I would first ask questions on how to receive or come in contact with the resources so I can effectively use them when necessary.  I know that that being resourceful throughout my years in college in order to become successful. After the small discussion, my class and I decided to go to the student resource center to explore the building so we can become aware of the resources they have. There are many programs her in UCSB that will truly benefit you throughout your college career.


Now that I've started the third week of my college career, I can honestly say that the only thing that's concerning me right now are midterms. Being successful is my main goal here in college and I am hoping that I will maintain that level of commitment throughout my years here in UCSB. I wish you guys luck in your midterms. I know you guys will do great!
