Hello, my name is Julia Fein-Ashley and I am a rising junior majoring in Finance and Accounting, along with a minor in Geography. I am taking this course in an attempt to lessen my workload for next year, as well as to stay busy.
One of the things I am extremely passionate about is travelling, and I plan on doing a lot of that this summer. I am currently in Costa Rica, heading to Florida after this, and hope to go to Alaska by the end of the summer. Besides that, I currently live in Colorado and look forward to hiking some more 14ers this summer.
Last semester, I studied remotely so I am used to working online. The greatest piece of advice I could offer is to create a calendar (I use excel) to plan out your weeks assignments in advance. Being an asynchronous class, it is really helpful to set aside a chunk of time to work. I am really excited to take this course and working with everyone this semester, it should be fun.
Hiking 14ers?! That’s hardcore. I love the mountains, but definitely feel the altitude–anything over 9000 feet, and I’m one of those folks stopping off to the side of the path to gasp for air. I hope you’ll share some pictures from your adventures–feel free to pop those into any of our discussion posts along the way!
I couldn’t agree more about the need for a weekly schedule. It’s clear that many of you have a lot on your plates this summer, and taking 10 minutes each week to plot out how you’re going to manage everything is an excellent use of your time.
Most definitely! I hope you enjoy this picture I took yesterday in the cloud forest. (I couldn’t upload directly so link is below)
