As I close out week six I want to set some goals for these next three weeks. Yesterday I was talking to a friend about something I was frustrated with and I said “there’s only three weeks left so what can I really do about it now”. That’s so silly. Three weeks is so much time and I don’t want to leave this experience feeling like I left something behind! So I’m making a challenge to myself (and to you if you’re reading this and feel the same way) to make the most of these last three weeks and if there’s something about your work or your experience you’re not thrilled about, try and make a plan to change that! I find it’s so much easier to write down what you want to change cause then you have somewhere to start. <\/p>\n
One thing I personally am frustrated (with myself) about is that I’m not spending enough time in Detroit. I’m very focused on my studying and on the weekends I have rarely been around. But there’s no reason for me to be holed up studying in my apartment, I can study anywhere if I have some headphones and wifi! So I challenge myself to find a new spot to study every Monday and Wednesday (that’s specific and do-able enough, yes?). If you’re reading this, I invite you to join me next Monday when I head down to Campus Martius to do my studying there (they have free wifi woohoo!) (I’ll send it in the groupme on Monday too). I also commit to spending the next two weekends in Detroit and I’m excited by the idea of finding some new places and activities I haven’t before. I’m sure just by virtue of looking around for cool places to study and different things to do on the weekend that even if I can’t hit everything, at least I’ll be learning even more about different areas of Detroit. <\/p>\n
So, my goals:
\n1. To see more of Detroit
\n2. To learn more about the projects other people are working on and events of theirs I could attend
\n3. To hear the stories of my coworkers (more than where they’re from) (why they like working here, what led them here, why are they passionate about the work they do)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
