Hi everyone!
I am about to go take my last final exam, Survey of International Economics (2180). This is an Elliott School requirement that can be quite difficult for those whose minds are not economically prepared!! I know a ton of students in the class from my major, and one girl sent out an email to all of us last night in order to help us all buckle down and study:
Titled: "Inspiration"
Great moments are born from great opportunity.
That's what you have here today. That's what you've earned here today.
One exam.
If we took it ten times, we might fail it nine.
But not this exam. Not today.
Today, we ace this exam.
Today, we draw graphs and determine exchange rates because we can!
Today, we are the greatest economics students in the world.
You were born to be an economics student--every one of ya.
And you were meant to be here today.This is your time.
I'm sick and tired of hearin' about what a difficult exam it will be.This is your time!
NOW GO OUT THERE AND TAKE IT.
With that in mind, she is hilarious and motivational, and I'm back to studying :)

A Nice Reminder...
Hey Y'all!
While G Dubs is normally billed as the university that is four blocks from the White House with powerful political speakers on campus every week, it's always a nice reminder our students represent so much more than that.
One of my good friends from New Jersey, Asthaa, who is in the Elliott School of International Affairs with a concentration in Development performed in and also choregraphed for the GW Balance end of the year show. GW Balance is a student organization dedicated to ballet. Beyond their normal programming they put on two larger shows, one at the end of the Fall semester (this past year Balance performed the Nutcracker) and one at the end of the Spring semester. My friend Asthaa helped put on this end of the year performance titled "Viva la Danza".
We all have our academic responsibilites, especially now during Finals time but it's great to take a break from the studying and paper writing to sit down and appreciate the talents of fellow students. It serves as a nice reminder that GW students do more than just go to school.
All the best,
Oscar
