The new semester is already two and a half weeks over. It's amazing how fast the semesters have flown by. This will be my last semester at Utah State, which is bittersweet since it will be nice to get on with my life, but I grew up in North Logan so it will be sad to leave.

I am planning on becoming an actuary so a lot of my time has been spent contacting personal employers and networking with them. I've sent out many emails and have made several phone calls. It's exciting and invigorating to speak with potential employers. Actuarial work is only available in certain areas of the country so I'm somewhat limited in the areas I can start my career. I will probably end up accepting a position in either Seattle or Phoenix, which are two of my favorite places, so I'm excited about that. I also have family members in both cities who know actuaries so, of course, I have been in contact with them. It's an exciting time and I'm looking forward to the events that take place in the next half a year.
