I served on a panel where I talked to first-year students about my journey towards deciding on my major and what. I plan to do post-grad.

Over the course of two days, I spent 10 hours doing a variety of tasks for my Environmental Residency. On Wednesday, I spent a bit of time sorting and recycling the glass, styrofoam, and stretchy plastics that I had collected throughout the semester and put them in recycling locations inside Bullock (styrofoam and stretchy plastic) and beside Rebekah (glass). I also worked on my passion project on Wednesday, which is the reusable textbook drive. I collected books from drop-off spots in Campbell, Alston, Winship, Walters, and McCain.

On Thursday, I spent several hours sorting and cataloguing these books, which involves distinguishing if they are used for different courses, what subjects they belong to, writing down ISBN codes, and also marking these books for the semester they were donated to the drive. Part of this time was also spent communicating with the librarians regarding the drive, as well as work that may potentially be done over the summer.

I did a lot of the logistic setup for the book drive today. I drafted an email, created a poster, got boxes from the library and set them out across campus. I also spoke with a couple of the librarians about future ideas for the project.
