I truly couldn't tell you a single thing that happened this Autumn. A total blur (but I did secure the 4.0). I was taking 19 credits: info 340 (client side development), info 380 (product information systems management), info 498 (public interest technology), honors 220 (evolution and human behavior). tIt was very informatics heavy, and I was able to create some cool and silly things in some of my classes, like this website: https://better-reads-19a69.web.app/home
My favorite of all these classes was the public interest technology one. It felt like a true intersection of Informatics and LSJ. I'm very proud of the final paper I was able to create for this class. It examined policy around doxxing and the deepfakes used for revenge porn. I've never been this excited for an Info class before.
Part of the reason I was so busy this quarter was because I was totally focused on applying to law schools. I did the horrifying task of emailing my former professor and employers asking for letters of rec in early September, took the LSAT one last time in October, churned out so many essays, and paid an inordinate amount of money to throw it all into a pretty pile and toss it to 15 law schools around the country. I have spent multiple hours ever day since refreshing my email and every school's status checker page. A part of me enjoys having something to obsess about, I'm sure............................
