Sinus Infection

Adrienne's CT showed a sinus infection but she didn't notice anything at the time. Since then, it is bothering her and she has a cough now too with some intermittent low grade fevers. Her doctor at City of Hope is out of town so she had her first visit to the health center at school to get a prescription for antibiotics. Hopefully this will pass quickly because she wasn't feeling well enough to go to her dance class yesterday and they have an informal recital on Wednesday.

Adrienne is already busy planning next year, in fact, the next two years of her college life. She would like to spend a semester abroad at either Cambridge University or the University of London the second semester of her junior year so she needs to plan her classes very carefully now to make sure she can do that and graduate on time. She's decided to take a dual major in History and Psychology with a sequence (like a minor) in Leadership Studies. Subject to availability this coming semester, it looks like she'll be taking Organizational Psychology, Psychology Statistics, a religious studies class on the holocaust, and a history class on women and politics in American history.

The dorm/housing lottery for next year is coming up soon. Adrienne knows that she wants a single room and an even smaller meal plan (just 8 meals a week) but not much more than that. It really depends on what her friends decide to do and what lottery numbers every one gets. Stay tuned.

As if she doesn't have enough going on, Adrienne is applying for the de Roulet internship at the Kravis Institute for next year. Her job will be to organize the annual Kravis-de Roulet Conference on leadership in the spring. She thought the position was only for upperclassmen but found out that sophomores are eligible, and she has been encouraged to apply. She is working hard to get her two letters of recommendation and to finish up her application.

There's a freshman at CMC who was diagnosed with cancer earlier this semester. Adrienne doesn't really know him but decided to contact him to see if he would like to talk. They're having coffee later this week. It's awful that Adrienne has gone through so much but it's wonderful that she has a unique experience to help others.
