In Winter 2019, amidst a quarter disrupted by holidays and snow days alike, I started to explore some of the classes UW has to offer in terms of writing. I was accepted into the English major, and took the first of the requirements for the creative writing major track through Intro to Verse. I also learned about the UW creative writing faculty through the lecture series Writers on Writing. I took the Honors class Women in Greek and Roman Antiquity to explore my longstanding interests in classics and women's studies both. This class also allowed me the opportunity for a field trip to Microsoft to learn about opportunities for humanities majors in tech fields. This quarter was one of continued exploration and finding my footing at UW.
