And So It Begins...

So after spending a week at home to unwind with my family, I've come back to Baltimore to get back to work in the Summer Programs Office and take Elements of Macroeconomics in Term I. Now, while Macroeconomics is not required for my major, the reason I'm taking this course is because this fall, I'll be taking the new Intro to Social Policy course for JHU's new minor in Social Policy.

This minor is a new interdisplinary program at Hopkins and I'm really excited to be one of the first people to take the new class. Social Policy basically encompasses the study of social problems facing a city such as Baltimore and finding policy solutions to these problems. Hopefully, this summer I can increase my understanding of the economy in general in preparation for the class.

I hope I can manage to wake up in time... I've been able to avoid 9 AM classes until now.

Just a reminder that Term I starts tomorrow! Good luck to everyone taking classes this term. Hopefully everyone had a great Memorial Day Weekend!
