2018
This year I accomplished a few of my resolutions for once: I lost weight, increased my GPA, got accepted to grad schools, worked on my languages (duh), and sold a cross stitch.
There were also a few things that weren't on my list. In winter I officially declared a minor in German Studies at UCSB. In spring, I gained an officer position in my club and finished my junior year of college. Over the summer I prepared my grad school applications. This fall I was accepted to four UK universities and I finished my major requirements. I also wrote a featured blog post about how I've overcome my anxiety disorder. And, most excitingly, I finished my first paid translation project this week!
2019
I will be finishing my B.A. this June! And as long as I get the finances together, I will be starting a one-year M.A. in Professional Translation for European Languages at Newcastle University in England this September. I am super excited, as I can't wait to learn more about the craft and I have wanted a graduate degree for quite some time. And, of course, I've never traveled outside of the US so it will be an adventure. A few of my goals for the new year are:- Graduate with a 3.3 GPA
- Save enough money for grad school
- Read 3 novels in Spanish
- Improve my German
- Learn basic Korean
- Continue losing weight
- Be more active on my blog!
Wherever you are, whoever you are, I hope 2019 brings you happiness and self-improvement.
Cheers,
Emily Anne Williams
