boost of confidence.

The good news is that next week is Spring Break! Unfortunately, that also means that this week is midterms week. As of this afternoon, I have written a paper in French, turned in a philosophy paper, written a 9 page midterm on the Civil War, and taken a French exam ... almost done. 4 down, 2 to go - social problems project and a midterm on the Vietnam War. Needless to say, this week has been pretty crazy. I am running very low on sleep. I am living off of coffee. BUT the weather is beautiful and I recieved this much needed boost today...

Dear RikkiLynn:

I just wanted to touch base to let you know I sent your recommendation out. I put a little note on it saying that, although the option did not exist, I thought you were in the top 1% of all students I've ever taught! Good luck! Keep me posted!

All the Best and Be Blessed,
Erin

I am in the process of applying for an internship with the ACE program (Alliance for Catholic Education) for next year. The application asked for four letters of recommendation - two from professors, one from a peer, and one from a rector. The email I recieved today is from a professor I had last year for a class on Manliness, Gender, and Race in the Antebellum South. This class was by far the BEST class I have taken at Notre Dame. I learned so much! Anyways, this email provided a much needed boost during this seemingly endless week! 4 down, 2 to go.
