October Break & BASIC

Although October break sneaks up, it always comes around at the perfect time.
I spent my October break at home to spend time with my family and friends. The fact that I had 2 exams waiting for me when I got back to school seemed to have no effect on how I spent my break! It was a nice change of pace to visit my parents and catch up with people that I missed over the summer. I was even able to hang out with my Wheaton friends in New York City, a place that I have missed dearly!
I am proud to say that for the first time in my four years at Wheaton, I was actually able to get some work done at home! So with my batteries recharged, I drove back up to school and faced my exams head on.
That weekend, I went with other members of the Asian American Coalition to attend BASIC- Boston Asian Students Intercollegiate Conference, something that is hopefully becoming a tradition in our group. I care deeply for its causes, and it makes me extremely happy to meet new members and hear their ideas. This conference really served as a way to let us all connect with each other as well as with students from other schools. I was especially happy to learn more about the issues that I feel passionately about, and learn from the wonderful speakers and seminars.
